On the 18th of January 2012, the paper was published by the APA as Online First.

He didn't argue against female verbal ability, he argued for male math and visual-spatial ability.

[fringeelements]

Well your claim that there are subtests on any IQ test or equivalent where males and females perform equally is simply wrong. I'm not going to argue this, the data is available, just look at it and accept that you're wrong.

No, I don't provide sources in youtube comments.

I'm not going to waste my time defending my statements as you've already demonstrated your lack of etiquette.

I would not have to post comments like the aforementioned if the media was not so misandric and acted as if women are morally superior.

so you're saying we don't need public dollars to go to programs like STEM because there isnt a problem

cool glad we agree

""Is it possible ....?"

....And the answer would be technically yes, but practically no. There is no reason to assume equal innate capacity between the genders."

From a part ofthe conclusion section of the paper Cross-national patterns of gender differences in mathematics: A meta-analysis: "This meta-analysis provides further evidence that, on average,

males and females differ very little in mathematics achievement,

despite more positive math attitudes and affect among males ."You were saying?

state expressly where my articulation fell below ordinary. state instead of assert. let's hear

[Sam10947]

what's a misogyny to you ? do u know what does it mean ? it means hatered of women, but i don't hate them ya fucking inbred pylonic shit for brain, i just say it like it is, if that disturbs your sleep at night u may wanna reassess your touch with reality. a comforting tought won't help u find the facts. u understand dingleberry ?

My bad, brah. 

[ProDCloud]

He was talking about the mathematical section.

[Dubbidubdub]

For some reason I read "math" as "any trait"; I probably wouldn't have wrote that comment had I read your comment correctly. But to be fair, we should only predict a different in group ability if their exists a difference is brain physiology corresponding to said ability.

Men have relatively larger parietal lobes -- explain superior math.

Women have a relatively larger corpus callosum and Broca's and Wernicke's areas -- explains superior communication abilities.
