Re: Concerning Dyslexia
I connect with boys on a personal level faster than girls, but I connect with girls on an educational level faster than boys. Anyhoo:
It was an argument against the right-wing antifeminist rant about schools being designed to favour girls instead of boys.
As for actual ability comparisons: more girls are in the bottom end of the math scale, but more girls are also in the upper end. Boys dominate the middle. Funnily, the graphs for boy/girl ability match the majority/immigrant graph... But that's a subject for a different thread!
Yes, "dumb" means "less intelligent". How can we define "less intelligent", if not by looking at a persons abilities? Also, dyslexia isn't a reason why a person can't write. A person isn't unable to write because he has dyslexia, he has dyslexia because he can't write. In other words, "because he's too dumb/unintelligent to write".
Following your posts arguments, dyslectics are thus defined as dumb. Is that a fair definition?
