I think there is overwhelming evidence to contradict of all of the 'differences' posted here to be found right here on the threads of TFP.
I think the differences between men and women are more subtle and complex than we think and the more striking differences are simply personality differences, irrespective of gender.
And I think there are subconscious (and sometimes conscious) resentments and competitive urges between the sexes that make us want to pinpoint differences and give them a negative curve based on gender. I've seen this in myself. I think it's probably true to large extent.
