From the rticle:

“Darwin’s View of Women

Darwin’s view of women is also clear: women were at a “lower level of development” than men, due to their “earlier arrest of individual evolution.”

Because women had smaller brains, Darwin believed them to be “eternally primitive,” childlike, less spiritual, more materialistic, and “a real danger to contemporary civilization.”[16]

In 2019 British cognitive researcher Professor Gina Rippon correctly observed the widespread idea of female inferiority existing today “goes all the way back to Darwin, who said that women are inferior because they have inferior brains.”[17]”

When most politicians change their positions it is called flip-flopping. When Obama changed his position on homosexual marriage it was call evolving.

I’ll consider reading this, but I have to find out about the author.

“eternally primitive,” childlike, less spiritual, more materialistic, and “a real danger to contemporary civilization.” This theory may explain why men who believe they were born female need to transgender.

Hmm.

I'm not finding the flaw in his reasoning.
