> So it would be interesting to see what evidence you have for such a strong broad statement? The entirety of the field of evolutionary psychology. I had a huge post typed up, but I realize that because you immediately went on the attack: > You clearly have very limited experience with woman. You're not interested in actually learning anything. You think you already know. You think you've read all the literature. You actually think you're well-informed. What you want is for people to shut the fuck up and agree with, because you don't want your worldview challenged. > Claiming that all woman are or are not X (for any X) shows that your view of woman is simple enough to almost be a caricature. You talk about being a caricature, then immediately go for a statement like this, which is a combination of the worst kind of pedantry and high-functional mental disability... Here's one for you. Fact: Men are stronger than women. When a biologist says this, they don't mean every man is stronger than every woman. They mean almost all men are stronger than almost all women. This is one, of many papers in the field: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0265407513487638 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0265407513487638

Here is a different way to put it: I don’t recognise woman that I have known, loved, made love to etc. in your description of woman. Which makes me believe that your arguments are not correct for woman in general. Unless of course the woman in my life (by some extraordinary coincidence) happens to be the only woman on the planet not fitting into your description. Highly unlikely but of course possible. I by the way recommend reading the papers showing that most “evidence” in Psychology is not reproducible i.e. not scientific. I would caution against basing your conclusions on them.
