Biological differences in pertinent cognitive abilities, while they certainly exist, have never been shown to be too big (certainly not big enough to be the major cause for observed differences in representation). It is certainly logical to believe that most observed differences are mostly explained by social causes.

Are you saying that you truly believe that everyone is the best at everything?

Are you being sarcastic?

I read him as saying that while men and women are different they are not _that_ different and that social causes is probably a bigger factor than any biological one.
