The problem is that while on average there are significant differences between men and women, the individual variation within men and within women is so much larger than these sex-based differences that sex is not a good predictor for behavior in the majority of the cases.
- ThrustVectoring 11y agoIt depends on the difference. For grip strength, the median male is approximately equivalent to an elite female athlete.

- unclebucknasty 11y agoWell, I'm not so sure how constructive it is to try making behavioral predictions about people based on general categories (race, sex, etc.) in the first place. I think it's far more useful to seek understanding and respect.
