Do you have references at hand when trying to defend that men and women are exactly equal? I didn't even consider needing references until I was asked to.
Logic.
You mean the same kind of logic I used to draw my conclusions?
If one is going to enter an argument about a given subject and use the argument of a scientific study, then one is expected to have references at hand.
That was a sore misunderstanding which I should've addressed earlier. Nowhere did I specifically refer to scientific studies, until someone asked me to back my views up. Where you got the impression was most likely at the point someone pointed out that only a sample size the size of the whole earth's population would suffice for my assertions, which I tried to refute by drawing an analogy to medicinal studies, that often show small, but markable effects with far smaller group sizes.
I do realize now that my viewpoint differs so much from the general consensus that I should've prepared better before responding though. I'm sorry that I'm at this point incapable of properly responding to some of you.
My, it's getting toasty in here
As it's been said in this topic already, no one is inherently better at anything than the next person, it's all about upbringing. People who assume that a whole demographic should be judged on averages and stereotypes are ignorant.
If that was directed at me, I wonder where you got the impression that I was at any point referring to specific persons, or even the idea that these statistics should be used in situations in which statistics are not applicable?
