There's a line that never ends: "According to a culturalist interpretation, women in the Nordic cluster benefit from formal"... what?
Here is the text. I had to skip the paragraph as it did not fit into the blurb lengthwise, some text remaining unwittingly.pic.twitter.com/s0enQKIPaV
I think the interesting point here is that it's societies where women are more free to choose, but at the same time they are culturally influenced by past models. So they may just choose more freely... to fit the mould, like everyone seems to expect them to do.
This can't be the whole thing because some sex differences that are not open to choice - such as those in heart beat of waist-to-hip ratio - are also larger in more gender egalitarian countries. I posted that research.
Can't those be influenced by voluntary stuff like diet or number of children?
The respective studies have weighed in a lo of statistical controls.
So how would that even be explained? Those are supposed to be genetic traits. Or are they suggesting an association with hormone levels and such?
Why are you looking for anything else than the fact men and women have evolved different behaviors driven by a different general psychology?
Waist-to-hip ratio isn't a behaviour, it's a physical trait. So how is a physical trait influenced by a cultural factor such as a country being more gender egalitarian? That seems like a worthy question to me.
There has not yet one theory been systematically tested. But here a thought experiment: If intersexual selection is stronger (more freely exercised) in egalitarian, richer countries, it will increase selected (body) feature sex differences.
