No they are not "wired differently", Gender essentialist BS.

But anon, she has a feel, so obviously all women must have the same feel. That's how gender works, right?

Whether its a biological imperative or socialization, on average, yes, we really are "wired" differently.

Doesn't the phrase "wired differently" perforce imply a biological difference? That's how I've always seen it used in the past.

And I have no problem with the idea that men and women might think and behave differently in certain contexts, but a huge problem with arbitrarily deciding that the reason they behave differently is due to innate biological differences.

Ok, fair enough. But I think it's very unlikely that socialization on its own accounts for men's statistical preference for 20 to 23-year-olds. It seems very likely that at least some of that preference is down to biology.

I myself wouldn't tend to use the term "wired differently" because I think it places too much weight on the side of biological imperative and not enough on the side of socialization. But to some extent, biology almost certainly plays a part, and to that extent, I don't think it's actually wrong to use a term like "wired differently."

Why do you find it so unlikely that socialization is the main factor here? People might claim that their preferences come down to a biology, but people have always justified sexism using bogus biology claims.
