Guys, guys... calm down. (females, you are not excepted)
As you've seen here, rambo, many Americans have a strong emotional attatchment to the delusion that all humans are absolutly the same (or at least compleatly equal - positives being ofset by negitives) in every way which matters in 'modern civilized life'.
(I say "modern civilized life", because most are happy pointing out that women arn't as athletic, but often say "oh, that dosn't matter anymore... we don't have to (physical activity)."
Which is debatable anyways.)
Which, obviously, they arn't.
For starters, it should be obvious that because the levels of hormones and nerotransmiters are different between the sexes, they'll have different thoughts and physical attributes.
And there is no requirment that in a certain feild - or, indeed, life in general - that they should equal out. That's just wishful thinking.
Oh, the horrors: to think that someone's thought procces is affected by their gender! For some reason, people are just fine thinking that retards are inherently stupid, but if someone suggests that <i>girls</i> are (say) not as good at understanding concepts... well, you saw what happened.
Now, I don't really wish to sound like I think women are inferior in all aspects.
I'm short on examples both ways, but in their favor, I'v heard that women are really good at locksmithing due to their (on average) high manual dexterity and patience... which would probably mean they'd be good at (example) fiddling with stuff.
Anyway, I havn't put much effort into learning about said differences (and if I ascribed abilities incorrectly, feel free to correct me. Remember that individual exceptions don't mean anything.) because I personaly think most <i>people</i> are stupid and rather poor at understanding concepts, and also because they are just averages anyway.
