I find your sentiment interesting, but we can't ignore a fact in favor of not hurting people's feelings. Of course, more research is always being done, so I'm sure in a few years a new research paper will come out and we will hear a different facts about a certain gender's academic performance. Then next big paper comes out and the cycle repeats.

That's just my two cents anyways.

This should be either a perfectly put sarcastic statement or a result of living in a sort of cultural isolation in the past decade.

Because culturally the world (At least the western world) has the complete opposite attitude.

Feelings are more important than facts to many people nowadays.

From what I've perceived it seems like in general it harms discourse more than it helps.

From my observations it appears to be incredibly corrosive socially.

The scale of the damage it is doing in western society at the moment will need books, not chapters, dedicated to it in the future.
