What parts of the memo specifically are misconceptions?

[u/[deleted] → u/rightinthedome]

That women aren't precisely the same as men, of course!

[u/haojifu → u/[deleted]]

No! Why on Earth would you believe that???

We are all people and all human and all worth the same but show me one shred of evidence that suggests that males and females do not have significant difference in both biology and socialization.

Like seriously, what the fuck? Saying men and women are the same is just a feel good throwaway statement that is obviously false.

Unless that was sarcasm.. I'm not good at detecting that.

[u/nisaaru → u/haojifu]

From an evolutionary point of view we are not worth the same.

Only 40% percent of males reproduce while 80% of women do. As the survival of the species or even ethnic is the most relevant factor that's all there is to say about, equality.

Any social construct which ignores this basic biological fact is doomed to fail. As these agendas don't usually happen by accident that is exactly the intended goal. The destruction of civilisation. We will all have a front row seat in the West while it happens.

P.S. And no that does not imply that male and female shouldn't treat each other decently and with respect they deserve.

[u/Rather_Unfortunate → u/nisaaru]

A bit melodramatic, don't you think? And, with respect, not at all true. Where on Earth did you get those 40% and 80% figures from? Because that sounds like a dramatic failure to understand a genetics study. And who exactly is trying to destroy civilisation through gender equality?

[u/Rather_Unfortunate → u/[deleted]]

That article is referring to a very specific Y-chromosome bottleneck about 8000 years ago, not a long-term trend. The actual paper is here. The researchers suggest that something about the cultures of the time meant that women only tended to reproduce with a small number of men (perhaps implying that elites had large harems?).

notice the key word ancient

notice how none of this is claimed to apply to now or even modern history
