He made correct citations. His arguments were well thought out. He was not disparaging of one sex over the other. He was simply saying what most of us know:
Men and women are different.
What some people don't seem to understand is that different doesn't mean "better", nor does it mean "worse". It can however mean that, if you have a team made up of both men and women, you'll get a broader solution-set to various problems. You'll have more points of view, more options offered, etc. The two sets of skills will "dovetail", making the combination a positive contribution to a company.
Male and female differences are complimentary. They are a good thing.
Whoa... just had a thought, after reading about the "seeing your Dad before he dies" or "attending your Mom's funeral".
So, what about emergency medical care? You have an appendicitis, you're in Alaska in an area that you have to fly out of to get to the nearest hospital. Oh, sorry... 3 day waiting period. Yeah, it might burst and kill you, but oh, well.
Or somebody is waiting on an organ transplant, only has 24 hours to live. Someone else donates one... oh, sorry, but the medical person and this suspicious looking organ-box can't fly for 3 days. Oh, well.
Great post, but please DON'T give them anymore ideas!!!
Yikes. I can see it now. They'll ban Fahrenheit 451 and 1984 as those books have negative opinions about the state having so much control over our lives!!!

Ok, if he won't listen to your suggestions, or your temptations to go out with him to meet girls, have him watch this episode of the Big Bang Theory.

It's sortof like the Geek-version of an "After School Special" about game addiction.
