Hey, that's good! You came in here in denial about gender differences in math performance. Then you became angry, calling anyone who dared to disagree with you various names. I suppose laughter is a little bit like bargaining. Bargaining is step 3. Soon you'll go through a period of depression, and come out of it with acceptance. Good for you!
And the next time you're faced with this situation, just be careful to avoid letting emotion enter into it. Disagreements are OK. Don't try to silence people with your labels.
But yeah, like I said, way back in July when Disinfo Agent started this thread, the thread was about a study published in Science by Hyde, Lindberg, Linn, Ellis, and Williams. In spite of the problems with that study, they found a greater variance among the math scores of boys. That pretty much settles the issue, although I can find other studies to back it up.
Looking back at your last post, I noticed:

How would you feel if we started a thread entirely devoted to the 'evidence' (and I use that term advisedly) for females' superiority in reasoning and language abilities

That "evidence" is in quotes. Does that indicate that you do not believe that men and women tend to have different language processing abilities? Are you aware that this has been confirmed by studies with MRIs?
