wutang, ever hear of stereotype pressure?
There are a lot of science nerds in science schools who do not care about statistical averages and the greater population blah blah blah when they take these studies and use them to exert sterotype pressure on the highly skilled women trying to study science along them.
I myself was subjected to stereotyped crap over this study by a professor of solid state physics who ought to have known better, being a scientist himself.
Hurtful crap that almost made me walk about of a dinner party quite rudely.
A certain population of gender-obsessed males use this kind of study to apply stereotype pressure to exceptional math-talented women in their professional environment, to try to hurt those women emotionally and cram those women back into their hallowed fucking math-incapable norms.
I've had this kind of shit used on me so many times I really want to puke just thinking about it.
I am great at math, I have wonderful spatial skills, I never get lost when I drive except for one occasion, when Mapquest told me to exit from a freeway exit that had been closed for repair.
I am so goddamned sick of "men of science" who take studies like this and try to use them to intimidate me out of being MYSELF!
It happens. You wouldn't believe how many men who really should know better end up using these kinds of studies in completely unscientific ways, to intimidate the math-skilled women around them.
