So I kind of skimmed this blog entry first, and then saw the comments, and was first annoyed, because I'm not one of those people who gets very worked up about gender stuff and I thought such harsh reactions weren't necessary.
Once I went back and read the entry, I saw that maybe some of the points raised did deserve to be questioned. The study sounds a little off, and the stuff about Alexander the Great was completely uncalled for.
However, I don't really think Danny meant to offend when he wrote this. I think he just wanted to point out a study he found interesting. I don't think he deserved to actually be told that you disapprove of his blog entry. The point of a blog entry is to be an informal piece of writing, talking about something that Danny just found interesting. He can write about whatever he wants. It doesn't matter in the slightest that you disagree with it. You can say so, but you can say it in a way that's much less condescending. You may think you're right, but that doesn't necessarily always mean that you are right, regardless of the topic.

Also, I like Jason's points about the study.
