If you look at a sample of modern women they will still conform to this pattern and nothing has changed there. There won't be born more intelligent woman just because more of them choose a career in academia, that's preposterous. From where would you even get such an absurd notion from?

Yes, this is definitely a thing I was just reading an article about unions having hotlines to report mansplaining. I think it is going too far. Glenn Beck was on CNN the other day, and he was talking about how all the false claims of racism (think micro-aggressions) made us forget about the real racists out there.

I assume you mean 'gap'. Yes there is/was a gap that's been closing. It was at 5 points difference for like 100 years, however the test itself had methodology changes to help curb this. Now it's vague and people like RedDragon quote 2% as if it's statistically relevant at all. It's not.
In other words, the IQ test itself was sexist for a long time.
It also doesn't take genius level IQ to be an Engineer. Get off your high horse.

This is no gap that I have mentioned and nothing you say has any bearing on what I've been saying. All my points still stand..
I also don't know why you are talking about engineers.. acting as if I am one?
It is time for you to stop acting delusionally now. I have no horse, and if I had one it certainly wouldn't be doing drugs.
I also expect you to apologise immediately for having the temerity to call me an engineer. I don't take kindly to such slander.

If you say something to someone and they get offended.
Why not apologize and ask them to explain why it was offensive.
Sometimes, you really don't know why.

The only person talking about a 2 point IQ difference between men and women is you. You brought it up and you're the only person talking about it. It's completely irrelevant to anything.

My IQ is 152, and I'm an Engineer btw. You would understand the relevance if you read the thread I guess? Good luck(in life and stuff).

The better question is why don't you educate them on micro-aggression and how by them being offended first, is offensive? Sheeeeesh.
I mean you expect them to care about YOUR feelings, when you hurt their feelings, and they respond!?
What selfish people! How else would I go around telling people to suck my ****! It's like where are my rights man? I'm constantly oppressed!
