| Sep 30, 2016 at 13:20 | comment | added | user9634 | There is greater variation of height within the set of men and the set of women, than between the average of the two sets. Yet, the average height of women is lower than the average height of men... When will we wake up and realize that every single person is simply different from every other person, despite having things in common with many of them? Why must this be a problem for anyone? Why do we need an explanation for observed tendencies? What is the point of seeking the explanation? For height, well, people survived better when men got bigger. For intelligence...

So yes, both bold sentences are what you should emphasize in your discussions with your friend. | |
