Let's ignore all the mountains of evidence to the contrary and say that, on average, you are absolutely correct.

Please, trot out some of the evidence. I can find plenty that agrees with his statement that men and women are wired differently. I'll get you started:

Aside from that, it makes zero sense from an evolutionary standpoint that both genders would adapt to have the same abilities, preferences, and attitudes. I know it's hard for your PC worldview, but you need to step back from your anger and self-righteousness and examine the evidence.

I'm not interested in debating about just how different men and women are, and in which respects, and what parts are environmental and what parts genetic. At the end of the day it doesn't matter, which is why I said "let's ignore...".

If a woman wants to move beyond what is 'normal' for her gender, why is it acceptable to discriminate against her?

It doesn't matter a bit whether 'normal' is biological in origin or cultural.

No one has discriminated against anyone.

If it was an advert for a nursery assistant which said "Do you love acting all mommy to your kids?" etc no one would care either.

> No one has discriminated against anyone.

Then why are you spending so much effort arguing that it's acceptable to do so?
