Again, how do you explain women learning after that time? If women
couldn't learn much after birth and not at all after age 13, society
would look pretty different. One major difference would be that the
females would be unable to speak, much less read. No one is born knowing
a language.
According to mainstream neuroscience, all children make neural
connections wildly during infancy, and a great pruning occurs when the
child is three. This happens in both sexes. Researches have found some developmental differences between the sexes, but they're not nearly as
vast or as clear-cut as you seem to think.
Do you watch ST:TAS? I think you'd like "The Lorelei Signal." I saw it
last night, and when the ladies explained what happened -- all their
stuff had been invented by the deceased men, they were nothing but
predatory parasites, and they were miserable -- I thought of you.
You might also enjoy Larry Niven's Kzinti. The Kzinti females are
literally nonsapient and nonsentient, like cattle. Kzinti society is
something like Earth society would be if your theories were correct.
As far as Time Lords go, the best example of a female Time Lord we have
is Romana, and she has always seemed intelligent and capable. Of course, she's technically not human.
Nope. My theories reflect the observed realities we have today. 20 times
as many men than women make up the top 5% of people running the top companies and the top people in STEM. This is what the extra
connectivity allows men to achieve

What you're seeing is more commonly modelled (and more sensibly) as men having a flatter bell curve. Men are overrepresented among geniuses, but
also among idiots. Women center more around the average. Those are only tendencies, of course; there are individual men who are very average and indivual women at both extremes.
Men don't have "extra connectivity." You keep citing and citing one
study -- well, a popular misinterpretation of some study -- and you
think you've disproved human history.
The hilarious part about this discussion is that I'm a long, long way
from being a feminist. The stuff you're saying is just cartoonish,
though. Just looking around tells everyone that it's not true.
How do you explain people like Ada Lovelace?
How do you explain Thales, Anaximander,
Anaximedes, Pythagoras, Parmenides, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle,
Archimedes, Aristarchus, Eratosthenes, Ptolemy, Al-Khwarizmi,
Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Leibniz, Pascal, Fermat, Gauss, Mendelev, Hamilton, Young, Davy, Hooke, Maxwell, Thomson, Lorentz, Einstein, Schrdinger, Pauli, Dirac, Weinberg, Bell, Higgs, and Hawking?

That's the awesome part. I don't need to "explain" them, because I've
never made any ridiculous assertions that men can't learn or think.
