@bswud @ArtirKel so, dif. between two random men or two random women almost twice as big as dif. between average man and average woman? :P

@DrXaverius @bswud Where do you get that from?

@ArtirKel @bswud difference between two random persons in a Normal distribution here https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-expected-distance-between-two-independent-draws-from-a-Normal-distribution … I misremembered, but it's1,13SD

@ArtirKel @bswud so only 58% bigger,I apologize.My point is that this dif means a 72% overlap and a 31% chance of a random man being higher…

@ArtirKel @bswud than the random woman(instead of 50% if Cohen d of dif. was 0).So I think most people overestimate this steoreotype a bit.

@DrXaverius @bswud I've been overrating Cohen's d all of this time!

@ArtirKel @bswud a good way to visualize it is this http://rpsychologist.com/d3/cohend/  0.7 is in the medium-to-high result for psychology
