goldenpuma84 said:There are differences in anatomy, physiology, and psychology. Medicine handles the first, biochemistry the second, and psychology deals with the third. Because if everything were just a product of social conditioning, psychology wouldn't even need to exist as a field. It would just be sociology...
The differences show up in:
- worldviews,
- core life values,
- criteria for choosing a partner,
- risk tolerance,
- conflict resolution styles,
- tendencies toward aggression,
- levels of empathy,
- natural inclinations toward certain types of work,
- the drive to follow a leader
and plenty of other things.
There are tons of them. To reiterate—since we are all offspring of both men and women, nobody hits every single marker perfectly. You'll find guys with feminine traits and vice versa, but on average, most men tend to behave differently than most women.

This ad captures just one of those differences pretty well...
1. A worldview is merely a byproduct of one's environment, society, and upbringing.
2. While a hierarchy of values should ideally be universal, it remains shaped by what we are taught.
3. This varies from person to person.
4. There is no difference here.
5. It depends on the individual and their specific character.
6. Again, this depends on the individual and their character.
7. Empathy is not innate; it must be cultivated, which brings us back to learned behavior.
8. Either social standing or physical strength.
9. It is entirely dependent on the individual.
