Males are evolved to build shit and solve problems, making us effectively smarter.

But women are evolved in ways of subtlety and mate selection and social maneuvering. Totally different but very significant form of intelligence from male objectivity seeking.

No. But explain why it's a bad thing.

Edit:



And now I just read through the whole. Was this your point? This I agree with and what is what I meant with statistics vs biology.
It's goalpost changing. As always.

First was "women have contributed nothing" in any of the aforementioned fields. Then it was "nothing significant". And now it is nothing "major revolutionary". Add to that, it's comparing what Men have achieved over 3000 years to what women have achieved since being welcomed into these fields 100 years ago, and more realistically less than 50 if we are talking about widespread acceptance.

But saying Marie Curie's research and discoveries were not major and revolutionary for the atomic age is pretty damn farfetched. :lol2:

Add to that, as women have gained acceptance in the sciences, they have contributed more and more. Look at Deborah Jin's work with fermions which probably would have won her a Nobel in physics had she not died. Or Lene Hau with slowing and stopping light, transferring qubits from light to matter to light, performing the first successful manipulations of coherent optical information. Barring a premature death she'll surely win a nobel shortly and her research alongside Bose-Einstein condensates may lead to revolutionary progress in the field of quantum information processing.

These are just a couple women from post-2000. It's pretty clear from the progress made by women in the sciences already, that as women gain more acceptance in the physical and applied sciences and start to make up a bigger percentage in these fields, they will make more and more significant contributions.

All one needs to look at is the number of female scientists winning things like MacArthur fellowships compared to 25 years ago. It's night and day.

The laughable part is trying to suggest that it is "a fact" that women haven't contributed and don't possess the capability to. And suggesting everyone who doesn't agree with this opinion is either a) in an "intellectual coma"; or b) in a "mental prison"; frankly, it's shameless.

I dont doubt the intellectual capabilities of women just the hand eye coordination.

The problem i have with equal society is that women are then allowed to drive when a large amount of them are genuinely bad at it and putting the rest of us at risk. Women should have to take uber.

While I do genuinely feel that women in general are less capable drivers (most of them just aren't passionate about driving), young men are by far the highest risk group. Which is also why they pay higher premiums on their car insurance. So if you're talking strictly about risk and you think rationally about it, you should pray for a female, not a male driver.

It's not down to just intelligence, there is priorities in life and of course time of 'expiry' for that raison D etre of ours, reproduction. How many women want to sleep with a famous older male scientist? How many men want to sleep with a famous older female one?
Anything can be construed as contribution, but a major revolutionary one with ripples in time and across fields, women are just not there.

I can see why the incentive would be bigger for men. Up until recently it's also been easier for men in general to devote their entire lives to science or philosophy. But I don't think that is a completely satisfactory explanation of your view, which is that women aren't capable of revolutionary contributions to mankind.

All I read is excuses; the fact, yes fact whether you like it or not, they have not, and all you have provided is only more proof that what I say is correct, foraging for either half credit efforts at best or obscure meaningless stuff. Why is it so hard to find one major contribution, which was and still is what I postulated from the get go, to shut me up instead of the long scorned high School girl essays?

oh and speaking of shameless and scorned, and really why I even replied to you considering your real motives, it's really odd to have you around you know me still a mod here and all :) can't wait for your next I'm never coming back here again, shall we say 2-3 weeks?

That's not my view. I stated a fact. What you extrapolate from it is yours

Facts :rofl:

What a joke. You can't even respond. You just state your opinion is a fact without a single scrap of evidence to back it up. You haven't once since the argument began given a shred of evidence to support your so-called "fact". The burden of proof is on you. Not on anyone else. The efforts and contributions of the female scientists I listed, and those ALC listed are widely recognized as significant by their male peers, by the awards and fellowships they have won, by the impacts they have had.

Obscure and meaningless because you say it's so? Certainly makes it a fact... And now you expect everyone to bow down to your superior knowledge and alternative facts, just because you state them. As always you can't even defend your own opinions.

Just like with your holocaust denials. David Irving as evidence. Yeah, the man who was found in a court case to have mistranslated, fabricated, omitted, and manipulated materials and sources in order to revise history around the holocaust. Very good evidence.

I don't need to shut you up. Your own intellectual dishonesty does it for me. The hilarious part is your stuck living in this apparently nightmarish world of female empowerment.

So Marie Curie contributed nothing?
Major contribution? No, especially since it was a shared effort. So at best 1/3 of a contribution. But this doesn't negate that she was obviously a brilliant scientist, she just doesn't fit the bill here.

Blah blah blah not one major contribution cited. You write so much to say nothing, appropriate since you word means nothing.

Why don't we discuss why women haven't contributed as much as men thruout history rather than whether or not they have (isn't it obvious?).

When gender finds its way into a discussion, things always turns downhill.

The interesting thing is the whole biology vs. social construction-discussion.

It goes bonkers because we always have to make it equal no matter what, facts have to go through the social justice grinder to keep everyone happy.

Also social construction as you put is in itself a biological construct over time, think evolution and selective genetics.

No one is saying it's equal. The argument is literally whether women have contributed 0 of note, or something. Of course it's far less than men. Light years less.

The discussion shouldn't be about why this was the case, as thousands of years of exclusion make that obvious.

The discussion should be about why women haven't made more progress now that these fields are opened up to them, contrasted with what men have achieved in that same time period, and whether this shall remain the case long term. But that's pretty hard to extrapolate given the small sample size.
