    Most of the perceived gender differences in behavior are due to social conditioning.

    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.
