You are assuming the curves are equal for both sexes with the only difference being where the curve occurs on the y axis.

The basic shape of the curves will be the same because of the mathematical process of creating the curve but the standard deviations will differ and the scales. You haven't really asked any questions though you keep berating me for not answering.

The first point in any discussion is to define the terms. You do not do so and you do not accept standard definitions when I offer them. I can do no more, the facts and arguments have already been laid out for you.

I can not even fathom what you think this argument is about. I have not suggested men/women are better than each other nor that they are equal. I have only suggested that I evaluate as individuals rather than generalizing by sex and have provided a thesis supporting my point of view. In all of your writings I have no idea what your point of view is other than that you like to argue, attack, belittle and trash talk.

EXACTLY.

And as I stated earlier, it is possible that what is a blip on one curve is a spike on the other (i.e. a vanishingly small behavior for one sex may be practiced by an overwhelming majority of the other, so unless you are denying that possibility, how are you plotting it?)

As far as I can tell, your mental model inappropriately varies the rise and run for one curve as opposed to the other in order to make them functionally identical.

What you are being berated for is avoiding demonstrating the validity of your "oversimplification and error" assertion. That you've attempted to camouflage what is assumption and speculation on your part with inadequate models and supercilious pedantry is icing on the cake.
