 yeah, most of those ideas are stupid

especially the ones about human male vs human female capabilities, women brains are very different, but at the same time it's a spectrum, i have done tests that show i have a 50% woman brain, and i can believe that, but probably that is extreme!

 Male and female is heavily redundant, in humans. That's why people often get confused and thing they're identical and interchangeable.

 anyone who has done any animal raising knows that the minds of females and the minds of males are different

the cows are ... that's where the word "coward" comes from

the goats are very friendly and so are the sheep... in fact, all three species are generally named after the female, also cats, cat is the female, tom is the male, sheep/ram goat/billy, and so on (and applies in most languages as well)

women are by instinct fixed in place, and protecting the wild little younglings, and focused on feeding them and gathering the medicines and whatnot

the boys are always out hunting this or that, it's just normal... with the ruminants, that amounts to straying and fighting...

you can criticise both kinds of behaviour out of hand without context but these are instinct and necessary for survival and anyone who tells you the wild natural difference of genders is somehow pathological

is pathological
