There are certainly physical differences.
There are certainly emotional differences,
IN GENERAL.
Not every woman is muscularly weaker than every man, etc.
Would it not be surprising if there were not intellectual and cognitive differences as well?
Granted. This is true.
The question is, what are the general differences in intellect, emotional tendencies, intuitiveness, etc. Pretty hard to define, pretty open to differences of opinion.
But if it’s so open to differences of opinion, does it really have any meaning at all? If we can’t even quantify how these traits are distributed among the genders, how can we make any statements about them one way or the other?
What do Chazal say about this? That’s what matters to me, not what would make me happy, or what would conform to my little american mind, of which I am so proud.
Fair enough… but what if (hypothetically) it could be shown that Chazal were wrong. What if it could be shown that, with regard to learning ability, women are just as capable as men?
