Liberal Struggle Against Reality - Walter E. Williams

Liberal Struggle Against Reality - Walter E. Williams:
"We will never understand liberals and progressives until we recognize that they often see reality as a social construct subject to being challenged and changed. 
For example, throughout the world, boys and girls have different toy preferences. 
Typically, boys like to play with cars and trucks, whereas girls prefer dolls. 
Liberals explain this with the assertion that boys and girls are socialized and encouraged to play with different types of toys by their parents, peers and "society." 
Growing scientific evidence suggests that toy preferences have a biological origin. 
Even studies of male and female primates find that they exhibit similar toy preferences. 
Despite the growing evidence of biological determinism, liberals have managed to intimidate toy sellers into getting rid of the labels "toys for boys" and "toys for girls."
...Another reality issue that's extremely annoying to liberals and progressives is chromosomal sex determination. 
The XX/XY sex determination system is found in humans.
 Females have two of the same kind of sex chromosome (XX), whereas males have two distinct sex chromosomes (XY). 
This chromosomal reality is seen as limiting, annoying and an artifact of a patriarchal, chauvinistic society. 
So liberals and progressives want to change it.
Somehow liberals and progressives manage to cope with some realities but go ballistic with others. 

  • They cope well with black domination of basketball, football and track and with the near absence of black performers in classical concerts. 
  • They also accept the complete absence of women in the NFL and NBA. 
  • They even accept geographical disparities. For example, not a single player in the NHL's history can boast of having been born and raised in Hawaii, Louisiana or Mississippi. 
  • The reality that they go ballistic on is the reality that we are not all equally intelligent. There are many more male geniuses than female, and median male IQ is higher. 
  • Liberals might argue bias in the testing. 
  • Men are taller on average than women. 

If liberals don't like that, would they accuse the height-measuring device of being biased?
The lesson liberals need to learn is that despite their arrogance, they do not have the power to alter reality."
