This is great. In this post /u/bloocollar quoted from a passage from the book about "highly verbal girls." So, girls are better at speech. Okay, got it.

/u/Lolor-arros replies:

it's a recognized phenomenon. It doesn't help anything to deny that

So we all agree then. Men and women are different, and women have better verbal skills.

The next post is by /u/sybau and it said (before it was deleted):

It's also a recognized fact that men are stronger and better at certain jobs than women but that's also considered sexist

The mod, /u/delta_baryon isn't going to let that shit fly! The comment is deleted and the mod says:

Gender essentialism isn't OK here.

So, the mod just skipped over two comments about how women are better at something, and then deleted the one that says men are better at something. "Women have better verbal skills" = god-damn right they do! Women rule!! Wohoo!! "Men are stronger" = REEEE how dare you!

/u/sybau replies (in a comment that is also deleted):

Is that applied to only one gender? How can you draw issue with what I said and not the entire chain of womansplaining...?

Yeah, good question. Why is it okay to say women are better at something, but not okay to say that men are better at something?

Another mod, /u/Sailor_mini_moon helpfully explains the difference:

It's ok to acknowledge real differences, for example things like pregnancy, but gender essentialism is not ok.

See guys, saying that women are better at speaking is okay because that's a real difference (and yeah, it is a real difference, there's lots of science to back that up). But saying men are stronger is not okay because that's "gender essentialism" which is totally different from "acknowledging real differences."

There's also this SRSSucks thread calling out their bullshit.
