I had a man raid /s/antipornography yesterday and again this morning, trying to spam and destroy a small community. This is what they do to women when they're scared, huh?

There is a difference between male and female brains.

There is a biological basis for the statistical differences in male and female behaviour which exists in every culture across the whole world.

That's reality. That's the rad fem position.

Saying that isn't going against the position of the sub.

Sure there is also socialisation but as important there is also personal choice. It's not one or the other. All these things have an effect on behaviour.

There is a difference between male and female brains.

Assuming you meant inborn here, that's still very much debated between scientists, with plenty of studies supporting the "there is no such thing as a male or female brain" stance. There was a post about that on this sub a while back and I linked several articles on the topic.

That's reality. That's the rad fem position.

Maybe this is on me and I haven't been paying enough attention, but in every community where there's radfems I've seen sentiments similar to "there is no such thing as a ladybrain". And women disliking it when trans people say they have the brain of one sex and the body of another. There never seemed to be any challenge to such statements, so I'd assumed that was the stance most in the community took.

Sure there is also socialisation but as important there is also personal choice. It's not one or the other. All these things have an effect on behaviour.

When did I even say it's one or the other? I personally think this would be more relevant to tell the original commenter. She's the one who said men aren't even capable of reflecting on their own behaviour. That is ignoring personal choice, and more importantly taking away personal responsibility. If someone simply isn't able to do something, it's not their fault anymore. Just like you don't blame someone born blind for not being able to see.
