wow great post and glad to see you are still on the forum.
I agree with Noun and he provides and industry insider look that is backed up by stats and research. But I think you are being too nice in not calling out ridiculous arguments in this thread.
Too many people on this forum jump from the
fact - man and woman are different, to a
false logic - man are more competitive, have more qualities that attracts them to the complex RTS genre. And somehow saying this thread will attract Feminazis when 99% people on this dude is a pathetically low blow to people who virtually do not exist in this realm.
No, I am not those people who say man and woman are equal or woman vote smarter than man BS PC crowd.
Citing the old civilisation to prove man are whatever other than physically stronger than woman is just simply stupid. Until very recently, it was might=right. Today's society, whether you are on the left or right, is all about denying that same physical natural order of might=right or survival of the fittest. To cite today's STEM industry to prove anything is also a moot because it wasn't too long ago until women were heavily socio-pressured into "traditional" roles. A great example would be WWII when many women were forced to fill the gap that was made by conscripted men. They did their jobs as good as the men but when the war was over, everything was just reverted just because it was the way of the society not because female hormone or gene made them worse at the industry. The stigma still exist today of course. It's like me saying Asian Americans earn the most in America because we just have better gene. That is bullshit. It's the culture of tiger moms and ancient tradition that equate wealth to happiness.
Recent researches on gender differences go both ways. Sometimes it goes both ways, point to men or point to women. But they are limited and not widely publicised.
This is why need absolutely need more studies in this area however insignificant it maybe. Because when we are left ignorance, pure non-science and assumption assume to role of facts.
Thank you TheMachine for your video. I think this heated thread proves that your video was indeed needed.
