Liberals support the feminist viewpoint that people are all the same, while also supporting the viewpoint that people are merely highly evolved animals
The problem with the feminist view (or agenda) is that it assumes the truth of its own dogma. It simply asserts that gender differences are a social construct, but without supplying any proof of this. Worse, they refuse to consider any evidence in favor of innate differences. And so when it has been shown that there are gender differences in toy selection from the earliest ages of development, this is still somehow placed under subtle societal differences instead of innate makeup. Indeed, even male monkeys have shown the same quality.<ref>http://www.metafilter.com/47410/Boys-like-trucks-girl-like-dolls-the-SSSM-takes-another-hit</ref>

Liberals support the feminist viewpoint that people are all the same, while also supporting the viewpoint that people are merely highly evolved animals. Yet gender differences among animals (particularly those "lower" than primates) are so striking that many species have distinct words for male and female: rooster and hen, stallion and mare, for example. [[Cattle]] are so differentiated that in English there is no singular term: we must say [[bull]] or [[cow]].
In a well known example of honesty in the acknowledgment of gender differences in 2006, the President Lawrence Summers of Harvard University suggested (in a private meeting) that the lopsided proportion might not be due to prejudice or discrimination, but a simple factor such as personal inclination or aptitude. Unfortunately, as such an admission is frowned upon by feminists and liberals, he was forced to recant his remarks. <ref> [http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2005/01/17/summers_remarks_on_women_draw_fire/ Summers' remarks on women draw fire - The Boston Globe] </ref>
