6 Absurd Gender Stereotypes (That Science Says Are True)
Just remember that these are statistical; and that people have to be treated as individuals. Moreover, most "Gendered Behaviour" is a matter of social construction, which differs from time to time and place to place.
Most.
Not all. Some is biologically based.

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.
Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.
Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.
As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
I wonder how many of the studies they get this from are done with cross-cultural comparisons? As well as population-specific genetics? And especially the effects of upbringing/lifestyle on biology? And checking the ranges as well as the differences between averages?
ReplyDeleteDon't take this too seriously. It is 'Cracked', after all.
