You are correct that this thread is not solely a "men are identical to women! Submit!" witchhunt.

It is a * very * common theme in political correctness though, as I've demonstrated earlier in this thread. To suggest that the moon is gray/white as seen from Earth and the sun is yellow/white, and those are two forms of celestial bodies, is acceptable. To suggest that a woman is a woman, and a man is a man, and they are two different colors but both of the species "human," is not allowed.

The feminist movement wants exact unequivocal equality (as in, "No difference exists! It's all in your head.") not what the founding fathers were actually going for, equality of opportunity, which is the most that any diverse peoples can hope for.

So far, I'd say this thread makes it pretty clear [to me], when you see the data that does exist and how the differences in math aptitude completely disappear when environmental factors are controlled, that there is no significant innate difference.

extraneous factors that were brought in to make some phantom case against some imagined influence of political correctness?
That you cannot see bias and enmity in the influence of the political correctness movement is hilarious to me after the myriad of negative examples presented to you. You justified every single one of them, no matter how egregious.

If the PC movement had a leader with boots to lick, you would.

Then why, I wonder, do you find it so necessary to interpret it for everyone else? That's you speaking, not the science.
