the IQ/intelligence gap is a total myth

that is why there hasn't been a single black majority country on this planet that achieved developed world status despite having most of the tools/knowledge/infrastructure handed to them

even without one iota of precedence that would indicate that they are just as capable as Europeans, we can extrapolate our own liberal opinion and say that they are without a doubt just as capable and intelligent as Europeans and Asians

and if anyone presents any evidence to the contrary I can throw a petty wrench in their data, say it's unconclusive, and call it a day

I have a belief that women, even smart women, have something in their nature, a gene or trait or just the hormones or whatever, that make them compassionate and empathetic to a fault, and it infects all of their politics.

My family is one of the closest examples. There are 4 of us children, all relatively smart (doctors and engineers), 2 men and 2 women. We were all raised in the same environment. Yet my brother and I are right-leaning while my sisters are liberals. I've talked with my sister at length about issues, I can get her to agree with things like unfettered immigration and the refugee influx are largely harmful for a modern economy, but she will fundamentally fail to care as in her own words she would rather operate out of charity than principle in that respect.

I don't want to call it "small-mindedness" but they can't reconcile their natural empathy with the objective, oftentimes "mean", principle necessary to participate in politics that have a greater impact than what is immediately apparent. If you aren't even fundamentally "for" the prosperity and common good of your own country alone (as opposed to the entire world) then how can you expect to vote in its best interests?
