Men and Women are Both From Earth

Damn, the Evil P.C. Liberal Scientific Orthodoxy strikes again! Now they're trying to besmirch the good work of John Gray and other scientific eminences!

The popular media has portrayed men and women as psychologically different as two planets -- Mars and Venus -- but these differences are vastly overestimated and the two sexes are more similar in personality, communication, cognitive ability and leadership than realized, according to a review of 46 meta-analyses conducted over the last 20 years.

... The traits and variables examined were cognitive abilities, verbal and nonverbal communication, social or psychological traits like aggression or leadership, psychological well-being like self-esteem, motor behaviors like throwing distance and moral reasoning.

Gender differences accounted for either zero or a very small effect for most of the psychological variables examined, according to Hyde. Only motor behaviors (throwing distance), some aspects of sexuality and heightened physical aggression showed marked gender differences.

But this can't be true! Everyone knows the stealth-consensus disagrees with this, right? They're just too oppressed by the self-appointed defenders of the orthodoxy to be able to publish in mainstream journals. Thank goodness that bold, impartial researchers like Richard Lynn and peerless, unpoliticized publications like Mankind Quarterly exist to get the truth past the PC gatekeepers: women, stop getting fancy ideas into your pretty little heads, get back into the kitchen, and leave all the thinking, business and politics to upstanding Aryan gentlemen, as Odin intended!

PS: The actual paper is here.

It's a pity you linked to the press release, which extracted meaningless rhetoric like "more alike than different" from the paper and left all the actual data behind. Here's the paper:

Thanks for the pointer.

uncensoring the coy language of the abstract, "some aspects of sexuality" means that men masturbate more often.

"women, stop getting fancy ideas into your pretty little heads, get back into the kitchen, and leave all the thinking, business and politics to upstanding Aryan gentlemen, as Odin intended!"

Hnh? This kind of twaddle tends to come these days from fairly Untouchable anArya Abrahamic types - Odin be damned.
