You are seriously accusing me of intellectual dishonesty when this thread is full of false analogies and strawmen? :p I don't really understand what you are trying to argue. You keep forgetting that I say in almost every post that men and women *do* have differences -
I didn't say they aren't different in some ways but you conveniently edited that part. I said they aren't *FUNDAMENTALLY* different, which they aren't.
but realizing that all people are the same bags of meat in the end, with the most abysmal and trivial *innate* differences, is a good start to reaching equality.
You are the one trying to appropriate monkey studies (that actually oppose each other between species of monkeys) and toddler studies to say that they make adult men and women different -
Women and men are not the same and do not have the same interests. Women do not play the same games as men, as a whole, and do not engage in the same activities and do not have the same job preferences.
In none of these studies is it mentioned anywhere that it remotely applies to adults. Of course primal instincts will be based on innate factors (for toddlers and monkeys), it doesn't have anything else to be based on. I may have let emotions dictate what I wrote, but it's because I see people trying to regurgitate their societal indoctrination by making sweeping proclamations like the one you made. After that, you say that the brain lateralization findings are being exaggerated. You also say that socialization has a big impact on men and women. It's a combination leaning heavily towards socialization though. It's simply innate instincts being pushed to extremes by societal indoctrination. That is why we see such huge skews in anything, from video games to career choices.
Yes, I was wrong in saying anything about people insinuating that men and women "should" play different games, my emotions got the best of me and I shouldn't have allowed that.
