| Topic | No intrinsic gender differences in children's mathematical abilities |
| COVxy 07/17/18 9:24:04 AM #17 | CreekCo posted... Did you even understand what you posted? Yes, do you? CreekCo posted... None of the data had a sample size larger than a thousand but the same article criticized early studies for low sample size. Why did you pick that number out of a hat? 500 subjects is going to be extremely well powered to detect even minute group differences. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

| COVxy 07/17/18 9:21:23 AM #12 | JACKBUTTMOMMY posted... Why would someone's gender determine their math ability? Or sex for that matter? I'm not sure a study was necessary. Blame societal stereotypes and bias for the necessity of the study. (Though, in general, sex/gender differences are important to investigate for various reasons) --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

| COVxy 07/11/18 9:16:45 PM #9 | I was never able to dredge up enough motivation to study for standardized tests. Even for the GRE, the only reason i studied for a week before the exam was because a hurricane knocked out power for a week so there was nothing else to do.

COVxy posted...I didn't waste my time watching the video but my guess is that there's a disconnect between biological definitions of sex, and "psychological" definitions of sex, and how people attempt to leverage oversimplified and incorrect biological definitions of sex to attempt to reconcile their "psychological" definition as rational.

| Topic | "There's no such thing as biological sex." |
| COVxy 07/11/18 8:57:14 AM #110 | Howl posted... COVxy posted...I don't see any particular issue with that reasoning. No, despite your attempt to make it seem like that is the analogy, it's really more equivalent to parallel it with: "The atmosphere is made of oxygen and nitrogen." "No, there's xeon in there too, for example." "But it's such a small percentage we can just ignore it" "The percentage doesn't denote importance. Small things can have large effects!" Though, I don't think this is a very good analogy to begin with. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

| COVxy 07/11/18 8:50:52 AM #107 | Howl posted... This is just an excerpt of that rambling essay that illustrates the thought process behind the person who wrote it. I don't see any particular issue with that reasoning. (Although the premise could be argued against, there is a vast literature on the effect of hormones on the brain, both organizationally and functionally. So to say we don't have any idea how much is kinda silly.) --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
| Topic | "There's no such thing as biological sex." |
| COVxy 07/11/18 7:53:37 AM #103 | scar the 1 posted... Here's an elaboration on what the person in the OP is referring to when talking about the views of scientists: I didn't waste my time watching the video but my guess is that there's a disconnect between biological definitions of sex, and "psychological" definitions of sex, and how people attempt to leverage oversimplified and incorrect biological definitions of sex to attempt to reconcile their "psychological" definition as rational. In reality, the biological definition of sex via sex chromosomes is not sufficient. Reality is much more complex than that, and it's probably much more realistic to talk about sex typical phenotypic characteristics than to binarize on the basis of sex chromosomes. However, how do we identify sex on a day to day basis 'psychologically'? We typically rely on things like secondary sex characteristics. But this gets us into hot water when considering transpeople, so to rationalize the view you might fall back to some elementary biological definition, like sex chromosomes. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

| COVxy 07/10/18 8:27:03 PM #221 | MrMallard posted... See, despite any blind support that Jessica Price is getting, it's easy for anyone to go into the series of events and see the whole thing for themselves. Do we really need to reiterate how wrong this person is because a small subsect of people stand by them blindly? Just ignore the bullshit, maintain the series of events as they happened, and be chill about it. But most don't really give a shit about the ensuing events. The reason people are so gung ho about it is that it provides them with the one positive example that justifies their previously held beliefs. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

That doesn't make for a good or interesting story. This opinion doesn't make sense to me. I think the biggest issue with most fiction is the sort of Jungian mechanics of it all. Meaning connects.
