"it's better to look at the facts than to suppress them in service to ideology or politics."

And let's look at the facts. Sure, you have lots of evidence of differences. But that they are innate biological ones? Not so much.

could we agree then that the denunciation campaigns that accompany any discussion of whatever facts there are are a bad thing

and that the fact that feminists do to researchers into the biological influences on behavior the same thing that global warming deniers do to climate researchers is a bad thing?

if the case is innately so weak why can't it be disposed of directly

why is an overwhelming political and cultural suppression response necessary?

@ Dick

Um, I really don't know who "suppresses" evidence a la global warming. I'm perfectly willing to examine the evidence, I've asked for it at least 3 times now. You're the one who who says "there's all this evidence, but I'm not going to discuss it." Very convenient.

it's much more efficient for you to examine a textbook on the subject than it

is for me to try to recapitulate one here.
