A team of psychologists, social scientists, philosophers and evolutionary researchers affiliated with multiple institutions in the U.S. has found evidence suggesting that the slight advantage males have in navigation ability is likely due to differences in the ways male and female children are raised.

In their paper published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, the group describes how they studied navigational skills in multiple species to find out if there might be an evolutionary basis for one gender or the other having better skills.

I swear almost everything in gender differences comes down to how people are raised. Parents gender train kids and that shit sticks.

Not physical strength and size. That's straight up hormonal differences. Ask any female bodybuilder, building muscle is more than twice as hard.

Yes, but in the lingo of the 2020s, that is not a gender difference. It is a sex difference. Yes, I know this was not always the case. I've read old dictionaries, but at the moment, that's the usage.
