Yet another shocking scientific study has determined that men and women may actually be, pardon my language, different.
“It’s the opposite of what we’d expect,” says Pinker. “You’d think the more family-friendly policies, and richer the economy, the more women should behave like men, but it’s the opposite. I think with economic opportunity comes choices, comes freedom.”
True for proper values of “we” and “you”, I suppose. Some who enjoy having a sacred ox to be gored are in a tither.
The concept of self-selection sets off alarms for many feminists. It seems to suggest that women themselves are responsible for the gender gap. It can also be an excuse for minimizing the role of social forces, including discrimination in the classroom and the workplace.
You mean the individual preferences of free people may actually affect what they do in life? What a concept.
