You're calling me sexist, so hypocrisy is fun. My criticism is that
you are a gender. It's a social, political and ideological construct. How can you approach this topic
not being a man. This is
not about race, which is far weaker a construct. It's not about disability, another weaker construct. You have yet to demonstrate this apparently amazing ability to be "agendered" and approach things from this "third path."
How does that determine inferiority? Do you think disabled people are inferior?
Of course they do: women have larger sections of their brain devoted to peacekeeping, emotion-controlling and non-aggressiveness.

They are
less likely on
average to seek out confrontation and go through the process of negotiating considering it requires some of those skills. Women "choose" not to negotiate and cause a fuss because they're
hard-wired to. It doesn't mean they "cannot" do it, or that they won't ever seek it out, but they're just less likely to.
You keep misunderstanding
my position by implying I'm saying all women are incapable. I will make it once again akin to physical strength; on average, men are stronger. If we had a job requirement of lifting X bales of hay to determine your pay, I'd call that sexist too. Some women
can lift bales of hay. Some men can't. But we all know where the advantage lays.
And they are. And you keep insisting they're not. It's not "inferior" to be poor at something unneeded in an extremely limited sense. A baseball player isn't "superior" because their hand-eye co-ordination trumps mine.
Because you're wallpapering the cracks with ideology and pretending a problem doesn't exist, which ends up significantly benefiting men and harming women. If I were teaching a class and designed all my coursework to appeal to a female mindset, I could use your excuse: "all girls and boys are equals." While most of the boys struggle I could say "all girls and boys are equal." And at the end, despite my knowledge of neurology and learning patterns and seeing these discouraged boys failing and all the girls succeeding, I can be proud of creating a classroom of equality.
Or I can just learn some basic neurology and psychology and figure out people are different and have different skills and we should be focusing on that?
