The sex difference in throwing is one of the largest behavioral sex differences ever measured. While training matters, the disparity appears to be mostly biological. Yet Anne Fausto-Sterling argues in favor of pure socialization while ignoring a mountain of evidence to the contrary. Few scholars claim to deny biology outright, with most agreeing that nature and nurture interact. In practice, however, they routinely reject biological explanations in favor of comparatively implausible environmental ones. They pay lip service to biology, but never actually allow it to explain anything. This new long read by professors Robert Deaner and Mike Lombardo examines the science of throwing, hunting, and combat, and ask a simple question: What evidence would actually be allowed to count as evidence for an innate sex difference?

MacKenzie Scott has donated over $26 billion to nonprofits. Around $1 billion of that ($786M confirmed but many donation amounts aren't disclosed) has funded 226 organizations focused either fully or partly on "gender identity." This funds children's access to puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and irreversible and often sterilizing surgeries. She is directly funding the largest medical scandal against children we've ever seen. Meanwhile, the entire movement opposing sex and gender pseudoscience engulfing science, medicine, and culture runs on maybe ~$10M annually. Hard to say exactly, but it's minuscule in comparison. We are so out-funded it's laughable. If you're extremely wealthy, consider donating to competent organizations help combat the behemoth we're up against. No organization turns donation money into real policy change more efficiently than the Manhattan Institute (@ManhattanInst). (Disclosure: I work there. But it's true) The fight against pediatric gender "medicine" and sex pseudoscience is far from over.
