      It’s crazy to me how small women’s pants pockets are. Like dayum y’all really can’t hold shit in there

        That’s what I’d like to know. It’s 2023 and we still can’t hold so much as our hands in our pockets because of gender norms, so someone somewhere doesn’t understand the struggle.

    Apparently that women are people who are far more like men than they assume. Most of the perceived gender differences in behavior are due to social conditioning. People vary greatly from each other as individuals, but when comparing population groups the averages are pretty close, especially if you account for social norms of the environments people were raised in.

      Even if that’s true, they’re still differences though aren’t they? Social conditioning leads to differences just like any other environmental factor can. Social conditioning isn’t “less real” or the like just because it’s social

        Oh, for sure. But the number of people who seem to think that those differences are inherent is far too many. Which is why we get a lot of questions like the ones from OP, which only perpetuate the problem.

        If we stop assuming people “just won’t get it” because of who they are, then we are better able to sympathize and work together to solve problems.
