> The author feels comfortable making the claim women are biologically more neurotic,

Nope. "Neuroticism" is a technical term, a big-five personality trait. Everyone has it to some degree and having less is not necessarily better, just like all the other traits.

What you are getting all riled about is "neurotic", which is related to a psychiatric condition (although the term is apparently no longer used – who knew?)

> declaring women unfit to work

Yeah, he didn't do that.

Please calm down and read the actual text. If things seem weird or rile-worthy, maybe ask first. Or look.

I did a little writeup, http://blog.metaobject.com/2017/08/the-science-behind-manife... there are probably others that are better.

EDIT: language

I know what neuroticism is.

Fantastic!

So why did you then use "neurotic" and get all riled up about it when the document says "neuroticism", which is (a) nothing to get riled up about and (b) a simple scientific fact (as best we know)?
