I don’t see any difference between male and female ability in regards to intelligence.
Saying that their brain develops differently seems like an invitation to the argument, that women aren’t mentally able to do the stuff men do.
This is a pretty slippery-slope-ish argument. Brains have plenty of differences that don’t have anything to do with general intelligence. There’s a lot going on in there.
It’s not just general intelligence that people discriminate on. For example it might be decided that emotional intelligence is what’s important, and that therefore one gender must be superior because they have more. It could be aggression or resilience. There are lots of reasons why people think that men or women are better besides general intelligence. So saying that there are any biological differences becomes something that either misandry or misogyny can exploit.
It may be exploitable, but it’s also the truth, and I prefer to be accurate. People can twist any truth to support bad policies or opinions; it’s the twisting that’s the problem, not the truth. But yes, we should be careful to try and prevent people from abusing these notions to further their negative agendas.
