> at a fundamental level, there are differences in how men and women think
It's undeniable there are biological differences between men and women, but this seems far fetched. Biological differences don't manifest themselves in an intuitive way; for example, there is no difference between men and women's hair. However we perceive a large difference entirely due to environmental training.
- Retric 9y agoIt would be odd for there it be zero observable differences considering how different many brain structures are between men and women. If nothing else women get migraines more frequently than men do. Which seems unlikely to come down to environmental issues.
- dxhdr 9y agoAre these differences in brain structure observable in the womb, or after years of growing? As an example, abuse victims can also have altered brain structures but they certainly weren't born that way.
- 33a 9y agoNot that I disagree with the sentiment, but hair is a bad example. Men go bald and get beards, while women don't.

- ztjio 9y agoYou must be young or not know very many women. Nearly every woman eventually starts growing facial hair. Many remove it every day. And some women do lose their hair, though admittedly it's much less common.
- skinnymuch 9y agoSure technically both genders grow facial hair. But still, men can grow much more hair on average than women, especially facial hair, no? South Asian females as an example sometimes can have more hair than average in many spots, but then you have many men with forest levels of hair around their body.
- jansho 9y ago> more likely ... due to environmental differences. Maybe, which still affects how we think because we're still classified by gender in society. The assumption that I made earlier is probably intuited from personal experience and countless books like "Men are from Mars..". I'm not shy if it does turn out that male and female brains are wired differently (that sounds really awful), but my point is really that ultimately, we all think differently. Because we're not just defined by our gender, there's so many other factors like upbringing, autistic or not, etc. And then there's also free will. We should celebrate this diversity.
