Wait - Walter Williams is talking about human biodiversity?
He’s obviously a racist sexist.
We're surely designed differently.Men typically have worthwhile abilities and traits that women don't.Women typically have worthwhile abilities and traits that *men* don't.
As wildly imperfect human civilization is,and always has been,it would be far worse were it not for the unique abilities that both genders possess.
Equal but different... What is so hard about that?
I’ve always maintained that equality is not something that is handed to you but something that you assume. When you claim to be oppressed and seek “equality “, you have already established your inequality. You have assumed a submissive role and you are now appealing to your “betters” to see you as an equal.
That approach is doomed to failure. You need to assume equality for yourself!
Case in point is the Asian people, who were discriminated against in the country for decades. But they educated themselves, worked hard, and now, by and large, are one of the most successful peoples in our nation. They refused to accept the fact that they were helpless victims. The same can be said for other groups.
Some time ago I was going out with a woman who was a graduate of Radcliffe,which was once this country's female equivalent of Harvard (and which was eventually absorbed by Harvard).
A fellow classmate and friend of hers was the Assistant Dean of Admissions at Harvard at the time.She once told her that were it not for Harvard's "affirmative action" admissions policy the Freshman classes would be made up entirely of Asians and Jews.
The official dogma of the feminists and of the official definors of the culture is that women have all of the beneficial attributes of men and many other noble characteristics that men lack. Any perceived numerical superiority in status, income, honors of men is caused by oppression of women by men.
True enough...
The irony is glaring but most shade their eyes so as not to see it. If women were the physical equals of men and the moral and intellectual superiors of men then only in anomolous historical circumstances could men have been the rulers of societies, great nations or foraging clans.
Anyone who thinks men and women are identical should try marrying my ex wife.
Why should women settle for being equal?
Walter E. Williams is the voice of reason in a field of insanity.
Equal...but Different!
How many women are in the NFL?
The NFL would love to have women players.....but how many can make the cut?
He sure is.
It's not that the thing that is different is hard.
It is the thing that is hard is so different.

President of Harvard, Lawrence Summers, speaking informally in January [2005] at the National Bureau of Economic Research Conference on Diversifying the Science & Engineering Workforce, observed:
“It does appear that on many, many different human attributes-height, weight, propensity for criminality, overall IQ, mathematical ability, scientific ability-there is relatively clear evidence that whatever the difference in means-which can be debated-there is a difference in the standard deviation, and variability of a male and a female population. And that is true with respect to attributes that are and are not plausibly, culturally determined.”
He was then forced to resign.
Men and women are also equal in the eyes of law.
When it comes to matters of personal preference and choice, though; all bets are off.
Every remedy that Williams suggests removes the option for an individual to pursue their own interests in favor of top down limits on specific fields. He’s intentionally being absurd with forced quotas. The end result of such forced quotas is a large number of people who will never pursue an education because the choices are not interesting.
So true!
Now we need to get the NFL and its leftist commissioner to ensure that all NFL teams are 51% women (with a couple of transgenders thrown in.
We can’t have an NFL that doesn’t represent the people.
