I do think that there is a lot of evidence that men tend to overall be more psychologically prepared for battle than women. Gender, in my view, therefore directly connects to combat ability. Though I accept that there will be variation within both genders and I hope I could allow for that in my country's laws. Quote:

The most I'm hoping for is that my own personal activism in discussing these things with people and perhaps strangling myself by publishing something discussing it is that this may cause some people to show more respect toward our ancestors. Quote:

My voice teacher said he used to know a soprano who, as she ascended into her upper range, would stick her butt out and flutter her eyelashes. The higher she got, the faster she fluttered and the more she stuck it out.
THAT'S one gender difference. I personally, as a male, would never flutter my eyelashes. I'd just stick my butt out. Okay, I know, I'm horrible. Uhh... back on topic, all of you! o(>.<)O |

So just two quick things then: So you would leave men's and women's voting rights as they are now then? And, don't forget that while you can make guesses about the future based on history, you can't predict what the future holds. Two hundred years ago, who would have predicted that more women than men would be attending university in Canada in 2007? Likewise, how do you know that history will basically repeat itself? Quote:

The idea of significance is to make sure that the data from a study is not due to chance. I'd explain more, but I really need to go to bed. If you give me a link to the study, I'll look for the confidence level. I'll reply to this thread once I'm done moving in a couple days. (Sorry about the short answers.)

Isn't the P value the confidence level? 1-p = confidence, right?

Right. Confidence intervals and p values are two sides of the same coin.
Traditionally you reject a hypothesis if the p value is less than 0.05.

My book doesn't have the statistical significance in it, but I found more about this particular statistic elsewhere. According to the Journal of Peace Research, Vol. 33, No. 1 (Feb., 1996), pp. 67-82, the gender related differences noted in this study "are statistically significant," though it also calls them "substantively modest." So there is statistical significance to those numbers. Regarding the "substantively modest" nature of some of the figures, I would again refer to The Essentials of American Government, which says that more unmarried women are opposed to war than married women. If this was taken into account, it would add to how substantial the biological difference is. In addition to that, I would point out again from Rourke that gender related differences in men and women's voting are not only reflected in this one poll. It is one example of a general trend that has been observed throughout polls taken on the subject. In International Relations on a World Stage, Rourke states on page 67, "Polls going back as far as World War II have almost always found women less ready than men to resort to war or to continue war."

He's still quoting "The Gender Organization".
Hard to believe.

What the heck is the Gender Organisation? And where is their website?
There is so much material in this thread I haven't responded to, I don't know when I'll get around to it. Operations Research is a callin'...
