My son is in an engineering student at the University of the Pacific. While a fairly large majority of the students are male, the female engineering students are exceptional. The university president there is a female mechanical engineer. I think it is stating the obvious, but I will say it anyway, men generally are more competitive by nature. Chess requires a ruthlessness because the goal is to destroy your opponent. Women, generally do not have that mentality. That does not mean there are not women who can do it. It just means they are not inclined to do it. Kasparov may not have been polite but be is essentially correct.

Indeed, in some spatial skills tests there has been zero overlap in the sexes; the lowest scoring male scored higher than the highest scoring female. Of course, all this makes perfect sense in a species where women do the bulk of the hands-on childrearing, and the men do the hunting. And spatial skills, need it be said, are essential for a chess player.Malcolm Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00672612354161787023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-32285801435882520312015-04-21T03:06:21.818+12:002015-04-21T03:06:21.818+12:00ANON 12:58 AM

This is because men and women evolved for different roles which has been demonstrated in many sound scientific studies. Your observation about the relative quality of men and women engineers is valid, there is essentially no real difference. Your statement that more women could become engineers (or chess grandmasters) if only they had the interest is moot because there is a smaller pool to draw from.<br /><br />MDH PEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-60315521227749368742015-04-21T01:37:18.547+12:002015-04-21T01:37:18.547+12:00Anon 12:58AM - but for the left, this "lack o...Anon 12:58AM - but for the left, this "lack of interest" is not the result of different life decisions based on personality differences inherent in anatomical differences.

There are not very many women who are engineers, but I have taught women students and worked with women colleagues and have found that they are as good or better than most men. I think that there are not a lot of women engineers simply for lack of interest, not lack of ability.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
