Shocking statistic I learned this morning through the "Of Boys and Men" newsletter by

@RichardvReeves

"The level of impulse control of the average 10-year old girl is only attained at by the average man by the age of 25."

This is not so horrifying when you see in the graph that girls don't reach the same level of impulse control they have as 10-11 yo until they are 18.

In the same vein, this article also shows that the average level of impulse control of an 18-yo male is greater than that of a 15-yo female, i.e. the findings aren't so narratively neat.

By 42, a typical man might approach a 15-year old girl. Not science, just observations

Why would

retweet this? We all know apparent sex differences are caused by the patriarchy.
