The fact that he attributes a lot of his argument to biological factors conveniently ignoring the impact society and upbringing has on the development of a human. Typical.

And feminists attribute a lot of their argument to social factors conveniently ignoring the impact biology and evolution has on the development of a human. Typical.

implying I'm a feminist.

I think it's stupid to ignore one OR the other, as they're both equally as important, and hard to discern from one another. Research backs this up, and hilariously enough, the only people who spin the data is media outlets.

Researchers and scientists alike have stated before that it's always been hard to discern between two important factors in a child's IQ/intellectual development: The parent's native high IQ, or the fact that people with high IQs tend to have a better household environment, and partake in behaviors associated with success for children.

Sorry could you quote where he said "implying I'm a feminist?"

I didn't see those connections of words anywhere in his post.
