| > So what? Which is to say, what are we to do with not just the conclusions of the memo but also its implications? Two things: 1. You can detect asymmetries in the nurturing part of the equation and correct for them by changing the upbringing and exposure in the environment (example: provide girls with building toys in addition to dolls) 2. You can update the environment to accommodate for peoples' differences, regardless of cause By analogy, because there are people with only one leg The correct response is: let's build ramps and elevators to be wheelchair accessible! The incorrect responses I've seen floating around are: 1. You must hop on one leg while talking to such a person, because equality! 2. Legs are a social construction! I can identify as a person with how many ever legs I want. (/looks the other way while the one legged person hops up a staircase) Acknowledge differences, they make us all stronger. |
