hahaha holy shit i formed the idea that there are enormous sex differences in perception of threat and safety that nobody is allowed to talk about, least of all me, *without even knowing* that Xanax is the most prescribed psych drug by a huge margin

Interesting! Still think there is a LARGE nature/nurture question here given all our shit about how we have to protect women and teach them how to avoid getting raped and murdered basically from birth, but certainly I'd agree that the perception of safety is different eventually

one can ask that, yeah, i don't want to spend a lot of time on the question of whether millions of years of evolution completely ignored the much higher biological value of women for purposes of their threat avoidance and therefore it's all because of society's messaging

assuming a bell curve distribution of anxiety, you could probably estimate the effect size from that and knowing how much of the population is prescribed xanax and other anxiolytics?

or, women are 2x more likely to seek medical advice women are more likely to be misdiagnosed, & prescribed Xanax for no good reason women are less anxious than men, men just can't process their emotions as well, so also go misdiagnosed & should get Xanax but are perceived as OK
