You say:
One has only to Google something like "Differences between men and womens brains" to see that there is a lot of material on this broad subject. I confess that I haven't bothered studying any of it but I don't think it's ridiculous to suggest that men and women (in general) do have comparative advantages in certain activities.


Reply:
I agree entirely and my original post said just that.
I had hoped this would lead to open discussion but instead it drew vitriolic attacks. Proof that the Brains are different exists but not all scientists agree on what this leads to, it is still being researched, As far as I know investigation that, music composition may be one of these differences has not been made so I can not give proof,


You say:
Andante seems to be suggesting that there is such evidence but he hasn't identified it, despite repeated requests to do so.

Reply:
Again, I have not made this claim, I have suggested (that composition may be one of them)


You say:
This suggests that Andante is aware of research which has identified differences between mens' and womens' capabilities in certain areas, but that he is merely adding his personal opinion that some aspects of classical music is one example, even though there is no specific research to support that view.

Exactly, at last, why is it so difficult for others to grasp the meaning
So: there are some things that either sex is just plain better at doing compared to their opposites, I feel that composition may be one of them.

I am happy to discuss this rationally but I am not prepared to get any further into a personal slanging exchange with any one.
