Sexual dimorphism is incredibly common in the animal kingdom, and humans are not an exception.
You are setting up a non-falsifiable belief system that asserts that men and women cannot be different above the neck. If that's what lets you sleep at night, who am I to deny you your comforting faith?
But you are fighting against mountains of evidence for cognitive differences between men and women. Are they all cultural? I'm friends with a few post-treatment transgendered people, and I'm inclined to believe at least that hormones have a powerful impact on personality.
- erikpukinskis 13y agoSome things are non-falsifiable. And I find it funny that you follow up that accusation with anecdotal thoughts about hormones. Just because we haven't found a falsifiable way to test a hypothesis doesn't mean you can take "mountains" of research that make very specific conclusions and randomly apply them to whatever generalization you want to.
- newnewnew 13y agoIt's good to have on record that you believe in sexual egalitarianism in homo sapiens regardless of any evidence that can be brought to bear.
