Currently on mobile so won't be able to post much.

To focus on one particular subset of this, recent research seems to indicate pretty conclusively that there is greater variability of (certain aspects of) intelligence among men than among women.

The reasons for this are poorly understood.

Is it genetic differences? Are boys and girls encouraged to investigate different things? Is it a limitation of our testing methods?

We aren't entirely sure yet so it's hard for people on either side to claim any complete understanding or provide a definitive answer.

While it's difficult, I feel all sides should be willing to research and discuss these differences without resulting to pearl clutching.

Yeah, we should be able to discuss topics like this without pearl clutching and the only way to really do that is with actual facts supported by evidence.

I appreciate you providing that information, really.

I don't think it was the subject matter that was the cause for dispute, but the initial approach.
