    Philosophy Radical Sapphic Democracy: A Theory of Politics

    and since I've now provided all the reading in nice little bite sized chunks I'm utterly done. Well, ok, I should respond to the one actual response you made to things I said. I have no idea why you want everyone doing precisely the same amount of everything but to that I say, "Specialization...

    Hours put into X are hours not put into Y. This is basic. ...and now I am super hyper done because now you are putting words into my mouth that weren't there. Women do do all those things, BUT they do them differently then men do AND tend to focus them on different things. See what I said about...

    They also all rely on things like commitment and controlled aggression and competitiveness. And while women certainly CAN commit that hard(see extant female CEO's, good mom's, etc) the vast majority of them don't want to commit that hard to a career. Also, an interesting thing to note. No male...

    And yet so much more goes into all of these jobs than interest in social things. For instance, time investment. Anyway, frankly, this argument is kind of silly and I am sleepy. Good night.

    more Lego's than trucks. dunno how much social incompetence it needs to decide that the best solution to not getting paid enough is to talk to your employer to negotiate better pay. Frankly, I don't get why you keep insisting that differences in general trends in a group is necessarily...

    Yes, yes it is. Serena Williams is/was(I'm not big on tennis) the best player of Women's Tennis, she went up against the 400th best male Tennis player and got curbstomped, the opinion of her opponent was "It might have been fair if she'd been up against the 700th". Similarly, in experiments...

    Not as I was using it. A Difference in Kind as I was using it is along the lines of "Who has the worst Archers in Age of Empires II? Is it the Spanish or the Burmese?" In Age of Empires II the Spanish held the title of "worst archers" up until the Burmese arrived in the Rise of the Rajas...

    A difference in color =/=a difference in kind. Certainly not of the sort I was referencing. I'd have thought the video game reference would have made that clear.

    are there though? no seriously, are there? Is there even a single scientifically valid study that demonstrates any statistically significant differences which can only be attributed to hair color?

    ...that's not what I said though. For a video game reference would you say that the Franks and Britons of Age of Empires II are not both human? And yet both play incredibly differently due to differences in kind. "Difference in kind" is not "asinine to suggest same kind of being", it means the...

    I was primarily referring to proportion of people in the average range itself... admittedly, I could have phrased that better.

    Even if I considered the sexes as species apart, I'd point out Clownfish and Anemone. Or perhaps Ants and Aphids. Or possibly Cleaner Shrimp and nearly any species of Reef Fish. Or perhaps I could point to the Leaf-Cutter Ants and the Fungi they tend. Difference is good. If Men and Women were...

    depends on what you value higher. For instance, Women have a higher average intelligence then Men, but Men have a greater variance, meaning statistically you get more Men who score in the "Genius" range, but also more Men who score in the "Idiot" range. While getting more Women in the "High...

    "Seperate but Equal" is an invocation. "Different" is the truth.

    Philosophy Radical Sapphic Democracy: A Theory of Politics

    ...I disagree with the "separate but equal" bit. I'd call it "Different" instead. As far as equality... meh. I don't find it terribly important and I find worrying hard about it to pretty much always result in less of it.
