I've noticed that it's difficult to speak about gender differences or similarities at all without being labeled either sexist or feminist. By feminist, I mean the negative kind. Those man-hating women who talk about equality but really want female superiority.

If one is bold enough to even suggest that there are mental differences between men and women, he/she is readily labeled as sexist. If someone suggests that men and women are mentally very similar, he/she is considered to be feminist. Of course, it's always easier for a female to get away with the 'sexist' side and for a male to get away with the 'feminist' side.

I find people are more likely to agree with the feminist, but in a sheepish way, because it's politically correct, even when I get the feeling they don't really agree, and are just afraid of disagreeing and appearing sexist.

I think the solution to all of this might just be to think logically about all of it. Don't generalize, question all assumptions and seek the truth.
