Half the stuff you called "bullshit" on have been scientifically tested (and proved) in reputable journals.

You're projecting emotion on your perceived opponents ("why does this make people so angry") because your dismissal of their arguments depends on it. If you instead took this discussion seriously, you'd lose the ability to be sure you were right.

I don't expect you to have a revelation overnight, but sit down and think sometime about why this topic is so scary for you.

"Half the stuff you called "bullshit" on have been scientifically tested (and proved) in reputable journals."

I called two claims bullshit, so I presume you believe that one of them has been proven. Which one? Citation?

I'm not projecting anything onto anyone. I--like many other reasonable people--am bewildered by the intersectional left's refusal to accept reality. They are in fact the ones who become enraged when you point out obvious truths, such as that men and women are different.

The topic doesn't scare me, but if the discourse in the West continues down its current path, intersectionalism could become a dangerous thing. The core of the ideology is resentment, and history has shown that these resentment-based ideologies often have horrific results. (See, e.g., the the Rwandan genocide, the Holocaust, the Russian Revolution, etc.)

I spent all of five minutes on google scholar, and here's the results:

Anti-black media bias. https://stars.library.ucf.edu/etd/5420/

Racial hiring bias: https://www.pnas.org/content/114/41/10870.short

Men aren't somehow biologically more in tune with computers: https://peerj.com/preprints/1733.pdf

"Office housework": https://worklifelaw.org/publication/climate-control-gender-r...

So I guess it wasn't that half your claims were scientifically wrong, sorry. It was all of them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't know who downvoted you, but it wasn't me. I'll look at the papers you cited.
