#1 Reality is real. This is a huge stumbling block for some...

#2 "even though sex differences in general intelligence measured as an ability are negligible"

Overall yes, but the shape of the curve is different. Male IQ distribution is wider. Women tend toward the mean. Males have more extremes.

#3 Males have more extremes.

Where "Insanely brilliant" and "Fucking stupid" come into play...

#5 I have a very hard time imagining a female engineer saying "It's an ugly sonofabitch, but watch it fly..."

#8 I have a very hard time imagining a female engineer saying "It's an ugly sonofabitch, but watch it fly..."

I’m not sure ... there have been a great many engineers in my life, and on the whole the females are as charmingly direct about approaching the world as a series of problems to be efficiently defined and solved as the males. But Mr. Wife says mechanical engineers are more s3x-differentiated than ChemEs because MechE is more physical — auto heads and such, which girls tend not to be, whereas ChemE is more an intellectual exercise. On the other hand, that same problem solving approach has led a number of female engineers of my acquaintance (and MBAs, also trained as problem solvers) to choose to give up their careers to run their households when they had children. They generally ended up running the PTA committees that improved the education provided, and later charity committees, as their children moved through school and then into lives of their own.
