Men are perfectly capable of spontaneously forming teams and structures if motivated by a common goal. Better than women, if experimental data can be believed.
Its just that, in FOSS-world, goal-directed bahaviour looks like this:
Man: "I shall build my own digital realm, over which I may reign as pharoah!"
[does stuff]
Woman: "hi!"
Woman: "something something something"
Man: "hi!"
[updates goal to "get smile from woman"]
[does stuff]
This probably worked on flint-knappers and cave-painters in the Paleolithic.
We can probably thank an Ur-Silberengel for the development of indirect-percussion flint-flake technology...
I think it’s the individual not the sex that makes a better ‘whatever’.
Are there male and female traits, sure but that’s way more physical than mental.
It’s education and responses to their experiences that defines who we become.
I don’t have a paper or study to refer to. I’m going by my different experiences with variety of people with many different cultures.
Absolutely, there are individual differences as well as group ones.
The differences in various facets of cognition and social behaviour between men and women have filled many books and many journals. (Mostly published in the 70s and 80s, because its social death for a grant board to fund such research today.)
