A lot of bad journalism on social science confuses what changes from what remains (almost shockingly) invariant. e.g., rate of homosexual encounters and love-relations constant; perception of them under rapid evolution.
You don't think that culture encompasses what you expect from others, even if the ground truth of what you have to expect from others remains invariant?

I think that's much harder to shift, because I need to know that the other person's expectations have actually shifted (and up the Common Knowledge tower). But I often don't know if they've seen what I've seen, seen that I've seen what they've seen, etc.

I think culture defines people's null hypothesis. However, people will often deviate from cultural precepts (like the idea that there are no innate gender differences) and reflect in observable behavior, while still professing the cultural ideas, if they are incentivized to do so
