The Gender Wars Are Over

The apocalypse has begun

I recently wrote an article that received as much criticism as it did praise.

Some comments accused me of being sexist, upholding outdated gender stereotypes, and not doing my research.

When I added links to the largest research study ever conducted in response to a couple of readers’ objections, they both deleted their comments. One went so far as to block me.

Why?

Because ideologues hate science.

The gender equality paradox has demonstrated that biological differences between the sexes are amplified where gender equality is a matter of policy.

And personality traits measured across the Big Five repeatedly highlight the psychological differences between men and women.

But why do findings like this anger so many people?

Why can’t men and women be different?

And what do LGBT2Q rights have to do with it?

Here’s what I think is happening.

The Battle of The Sexes Has Become an Ideological War

Attempting to write an article like this feels dangerous.
