- pessimizer 5y agoAre you sure there's not a gene for fabric preferences?
- noasaservice 5y agoIt is your job to prove that. It is not our job to disprove your half-baked suppositions.

- HideousKojima 5y agoNo, but the preferences and life choices that would lead to someone being exposed to and learning that word are in part due to sex dimorphism.
- xdennis 5y agoGP is obviously not saying that. He's saying that sex chromosomes cause differences between men and women which also manifest in different preferences which cause a small gap in knowledge between the sexes.
