tl;dr women are different than men.


Please don't post unsubstantive comments to HN.


I cannot vote this up enough. There is no real evidence of significant differences between the sexes other than men are often physically bigger. Numerous studies have debunked garbage science about brain differences and whatnot because they are cultural not biological. Culturally, women are treated, raised and nurtured differently. Culture can, and does, change though so it cannot be really considered a persistent 'difference' when during my own brief lifetime things have changed dramatically in gender relations.

That's straight up false. Just because evidence does not accord with your ideology, does not mean it is de facto incorrect.

There are numerous biological differences between the genders, not least due to differing levels of sex hormones. There have been studies done on on pre and post-op transsexuals that support this.

One example I've seen here on the front page in the last few weeks: http://www.zephoria.org/thoughts/archives/2014/04/03/is-the-...
