I asserted that both explanations are possible, which is an obvious fact to me, until it is shown that one of the explanations is wrong.

I didn't notice I was replying to you, not aestra, who implicitly explained the results of the study in the way I described, when they used that study as evidence that "sexism is alive and well". Even though in this particular study, the authors (incorrectly) ignored my alternate explanation, it is in fact often discussed in this context (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_discrimination).

And I am sick of your side of the argument swearing at your opponents while constantly playing the victim card. Fuck you.

You do know that there are more than two sides available, you poor precious snowflake.

You are clearly taking one side of a debate, whether you admit it or not, cunt.

I haven't said much here, barring taking the piss out of the magic man (he's crap at magic) and posting about Freeman Dyson doing his thing with the prisoners dilemma. There are always many perspectives you can take, to insist on binary debates is just forcing false choices. Calling me a cunt won't really change that.

As for why I asked you to stop being a tosser in the first place, I asked a question and immediately had you telling me what I supposedly think. That said, I really shouldn't have bothered asking you to stop, as to do that does seem to be something that is far wide of your abilities, given the evidence available here.
