> Men have invented every major technological advance in history.

That was your original statement. It has been refuted pretty well. Now you are changing your assertion without admitting it.

Actually, we still have a pretty sexist environment, and women aren't really free to do any thing they want. There's a pretence that they can do anything, but it isn't really true in many ways.

My argument is still perfectly sound. You are just ignoring the bits of it you don't like.

For all your talk about "facts" you seem to be particularly blind to the ones that have been offered to counter your vague arguments, both here and elsewhere in this thread: verifiable matters of historical record.



My argument is that women's lack of economic success is in part due to how they are wired and not some widespread culture of male repression.

Can't argue with that.

And you have completely failed to make the case for this.

> Can't argue with that.

You realize that I said that there's a pretence that they have the FREEDOM to do anything, not that they are intrinsically incapable it, don't you?
