An Introduction

One more thing of note when I had a sociology class was the treatment of differences between men and women in the textbook and class discussion. When discussing how men score higher with nonverbal, spatial, and math reasoning on tests than women, there followed several paragraph's about bias in society and how women are discouraged from these areas, treated differently, etc. More disclaimers about how in one study women were given some practice before the test and then most of the gap disappeared, etc. Basically tons of discussion and implication that these differences most certainly are _not_ biological. Then it mentions how women score higher than men on verbal IQ, but no more discussion of this result. I'm noticing a pattern here, and it strangely isn't that extremists from the left truly want equal treatment. Most people are tired of the shit extremists, fallacious logic, and third rail topics from both sides of the spectrum, but there are few true "safe spaces" left where discussing any of this isn't a true shit show or doesn't result in you being fired or labeled a Nazi.
