I think Mr Schultz meant this as a dig at all the people who use statistics to “justify” something that the statistics don’t really prove. Statistics are great for quantifying things, but they rarely provide context. Example: Even if 93% of men really were over 6 feet tall, how does that make them “superior”? For that matter, that statistic doesn’t say what percentage of women are above 6 feet in height – it could be 94% for all we know.

I just cant stand it. Why is it such a big deal? In my mind men and women have their positives and negitives. On average men are stronger than woman. ON AVERAGE. That doesnt make them superior. On average woman are smarter then men. ON AVERAGE! So again, it doesnt make them superior.
In the end, our soul purpose is to produce offspring to continue our race. Women AND men are required to do this! So cant you all just leave it at that?!
