    @ Dick

    Really though, sociobiology is to liberals what climate science is to conservatives

    -- dick dworkin

    Huh, I always thought that conservatives also didn't like sociobiology, except when it reinforced their prejudicial stereotypes.

    Remember phrenology, fainting couches, that letter from Harvard Law's president where he said women's brains are just not suited for the study of law?

    How do you know that the ideas about innate differences you're espousing now (with no cited evidence, yet, I must point out) are not the same kind of drivel pseudo-science?

    PS I also have to point out that there are differences among men. Does that mean that they are all biological? How about the same among women?
