There’s loads of research in this area, why don’t you research it yourself? Cordelia Fine and Prof Gina Rippon have published books and articles that discuss this in the kind of detail that’s needed to understand this. This is a good introhttp://sfonline.barnard.edu/neurogenderings/eight-things-you-need-to-know-about-sex-gender-brains-and-behavior-a-guide-for-academics-journalists-parents-gender-diversity-advocates-social-justice-warriors-tweeters-facebookers-and-ever/ …

This discussion is great-- people have mostly been engaging in good faith and with minimal insults. Would like to see substantive responses to
@RealYeyoZa 's piece, which points out some real problems with Fine's position.1 reply 1 retweet 14 likes -

Amazingly, there are corners of Twitter where people do engage in good faith. This paragraph from the Quillette piece stood out for me. (I'm much more Ev Psych than Rad Fem, FWIW.)pic.twitter.com/gnXMBV9FJV

That article was very unfortunate in the same way as all other articles by men who have superficial look at “feminism” and carry on to misrepresent feminist position. Blank slatism is just about as rare as hen’s teeth in feminism. Also liberal feminism is faux feminism.

Apart from the obvious physical (non-brain) differences, are there any (average!) differences you would point to between typical males and females?

(was responding to your statement about blank slatism being rare). Conversely, it's obvious culture/socialization mitigates some traits like male violence: Some cultures condone physical/sexual violence vs women (e.g. wife beating/rape), while others prosecute a man for same.

Clearly, these differing responses to male violence (BTW appears to be a universal trait) alter a man's tendencies to perform such violence. If you know you could go to jail for it, very different from being praised by the whole society for (say) chastising an adulterous wife.

True, unfortunately the prosecution and conviction rates for rapists are so low even in Western democracies, and prejudice toward victims in juries and judiciary so big, when you combine it with mainstream porn, most men know that chances of being punished are extremely low.

Hence the rising levels of sexual assaults, even in children, and decreasing numbers of prosecutions. This is the anti-feminist backlash I was referring to earlier, that is obscuring the reasons why even in most apparently egalitarian societies gender norms are being reinforced.

Still, a man who beats his wife and children (or even kills them--e.g. "honour killings") with impunity (because it's legal and even lauded there) is going to have far less incentive to control those behaviors than in a country where he could land in prison.

Yes, that's true. The question is: why and how did the latter countries get like that? (I think it's a good thing, but a very late development since we've been "intelligent" for 1-7 million years, and pretty much us for 300,000. This is very new in human history.)
