 I only trust the data provided as much as I trust the one providing the data. Facts and figures can be falsified easily. Now with AI falsified sources with seemingly verifiable information can be attained and distributed in minutes. 

Your opinion is an opinion to me until I deem otherwise. My opinions are based on observation, behavioral science research in college, and first hand experiences. They are not better insights, or more qualified than your deductions. We just choose to reach different conclusions based on our own perspectives and life experiences. 

Be careful to worship data as the end all be all to acquiring truth. It never ends well if that is how you choose to live your life and view the world. It drastically narrows your perspectives. 

I will say again, very politely. I agree to disagree. I hope you will too. It is OK to have difference in opinions. Be honest with yourself. We can both be right. We can both be wrong. We both can not have a fucking clue either. 

Never forget we are both men making wild assumptions about women and their capabilities. Since when did having all the data ever work in men's favor when trying to comprehend the capabilities of a woman?
