...from one of many link salads.

Male and female ability differences down to socialisation, not genetics.

I need a copy of this article pasted to a bat so I can club people with it.

The reason I perpetually refuse a GPS system is because my internal navigation system kicks ass, and my map-reading skills are even better. The reason I'm so frustrated by my current injury (and all others in the past) is because I'm used to being flexible and athletic.

I'm good at math. I'm good at building and fixing things. I own power tools and I know how to use them. I drive really well. I had to learn as an adult to be more emotionally open, and I'm still much more likely to be stoic than to lean on friends for support. I love action movies and only rarely like rom-coms and chick flicks.

I get very tired of actively having to prove all these skills to dumbasses who believe that testes or ovaries have some definitive power over behavior.

science, sexism
