This of course is the very argument that Peter Zohrab predicted "liberals"
would resort to when confronted with simple FACTS.
If every test known to humankind DOES demonstrate a "systemic gender
difference" [read: in English, the natural difference between the sexes],
but so-called "IQ tests" do not, then it's not me who's suspect--it's
Wechsler and his fellow "scientists" who evidently manipulated the data
right from the start, and all "educators" and politicians who followed right
along like little lemmings.
