I'm not one to bump my own posts usually, but LL has been doing an astonishing amount of work over the last month in debunking the "emerging science of gender differences." A lot of linkage to earlier Log entries is in this article. They totally shred the easy "girls talk more than boys" crap that circulates without question, and pound away at the "girls use X words per day while boys only use Y" axiom that pops up in everything from church sermons to "science" books.
Given that there are a lot of people on Barbelith that take gender inequality, stereotyping, and bad science supporting either very seriously, I figured Language Log deserved another mention. |
