Yes, females mostly lack emotional maturity. Thank you for demonstrating the obvious. But males mostly don't. You preposterously claim that they do, and it is outright wrong.
A minute percentage of abnormal cases will exist in any natural corpus. That doesn't mean it's generalizable to the entire category, or even worthy of any attention at all. For you to claim otherwise is simply intellectually dishonest. In short, no, it doesn't.
With that out of the way, yes, anyone can ignore mean words. Absolutely anyone. If they're very emotionally immature, they might require some coaching first, but that's about it.
No, it doesn't. Teenage boys are bullied physically, not emotionally -- and you can't ignore physical damage the way you can trivially ignore some mean words.
Yes, and the researchers aren't even considering the possibility that these women sound incompetent when talking to men, because they actually, comparatively, are.
They discount the most obvious explanation without even testing for it, and expect to be taken seriously. What a joke.
Programming is abstract reasoning. Apart from some syntax memorization, there's nothing more to it. Even design patterns are optional, and can be independently discovered.
> When female scientists talked to other female scientists, they sounded perfectly competent. But when they talked to male colleagues, Mehl and Schmader found that they sounded less competent.
Could it be that they, comparatively, are?
Nah. That would make too much sense.
Let's blame it on the all-powerful patriarchy, which we can't even prove to exist.
