Remember Bishop Williamson's (in)famous essay against women in university?
He made many cogent points, and it's hard to find fault with his logic.
In fact, I agree with him.
The problem is getting others to understand what he was trying to teach. That is, it's very easy to misunderstand or jump to conclusions, especially nowadays when most peoples' thinking is very fuzzy indeed.
There's certainly something there:
There's the "man's world", and then there's the "woman's world".
God DID create them male and female, and the differences go far beyond "plumbing".
God intended for male and female to be complementary, not interchangeable!
Rational discourse seems to be more suited to the male mind -- and this is borne out in one's day-to-day experience.
In short, men are more logical and rational in general. Women tend to use intuition and feeling, which actually helps in certain cases but it is a huge liability in others. For example, it doesn't make for smooth Message Board discussion. :wink:
Of course, just like with physical strength, the degree of difference varies by individual. There are female body builders who could beat up certain "nerdy" or "wimpy" males. Likewise, there are some men who can't think to save themselves, and are the "worst of both worlds" neither male nor female, really. Also, there are some women who can carry on and follow a logical, methodical argument.
But the exception doesn't invalidate the rule.
