 > If you want to make your stupid dream real, you need to have a realistic picture of the world. If you want a society in which men and women have the same brain, or one in which feminism actually works, you would have to _make it so_, with advanced biological engineering.

-We socially-liberal individualist/feminist people—I _hope_ I'm still allowed to use the first person here, although the reader will ultimately judge that for herself—have this beautiful moral ideal, where we want all humans to be free to maximize their potential, unencumbered by oppressive cultural institutions specifying roles and destinies in advance. We want everyone to be judged on her or his _own_ merits rather than treated as a representative of their race or sex. If a trait is virtuous in a man, it _has_ to be equally virtuous in a woman.

We want everyone to be judged on her or his _own_ merits rather than treated as a representative of their race or sex. If a trait is virtuous in a man, it _has_ to be equally virtuous in a woman, as a matter of sheer logical _consistency_.
 
 And _because_ we care about the beautiful moral ideal, we tend to assume that psychological group differences don't exist or are superficial or are socially-constructed and will naturally dissipate after the revolution.
