  1. Why do people tiptoe around the physical differences between men and women? Musculature, bone structure, neurochemistry, biochemistry, hormones, average body fat, I could go on. Women have different brain structure to men. For example, women have a denser corpus callosum with more connections between left and right hemisphere. They have a different balance of neurochemicals. These are facts, and yet, people somehow believe women won't think differently than men? That they don't favor certain skillsets than men? We're still 99.99% cavemen for crying out loud. Men hunted and did the heavy physical labor, women gathered and cared for children. That DNA is still within us. None of that is a prescriptive definition. Women who have the physical ability and mentality to do heavy work jobs, like a firefighter or a construction worker, more power to you, just as men who are more nurturing and want to pursue more care associate work like nursing or daycare, go for it. We keep looking at the end results and seeing intent. Women are just not going into the more dangerous or high-skill/high-pay jobs at the same rates as men. That's not the system, that's not culture, that's the nature half of our nature\nurture dichotomy. If someone is discriminating against someone because she's a woman, that person is a despicable piece of crap. But turning the tables and discriminating against men isn't the answer. You don't balance the scales of justice by rewarding one injustice with another. I want to see more women in STEM, science, technology, engineering, and math. But they keep selecting gender studies degrees which is only useful if you want a job teaching gender studies or being a professional whiner on the internet.
