"This is a subject that I have been studying for quite some time now."

"Please read my comments about this being circulatory."
Women concern themselves more with emotions->women are more emotional.
How is that circulatory?

"You don't really read my posts, do you?"
Some of them, yes.
An analogy-a person is argues against oil being able to extinguish fire and says "there is no evidence of fire EVER being extinguished."
Is the person right?

yama, honestly, everyone knew what she meant, of course there is evidence, but is it reliable, and does it truly prove anything, maybe not.
and your analogy sucks, you still have to inlcude the oil.

ugh, not EVEN because of the oil. because this is about evidence, if someone wanted to, they could just fabricate something that says "oh yeah, fire can definitely be extinguished by oil for X reason, here's a reason why." is the reason actually proved, not likely.

Ah, the ubiquitous "everyone".
"and your analogy sucks, you still have to inlcude the oil."
Why should I? She said nothing about intrinsic biological processes.
"I think that we believe that there is more of a difference than what actually exists. Aside from the physical and hormonal differences, beliefs about the way women and men behave are exaggerated and environmentally constructed, resulting in acquired differences in attitudes. Gender roles are dealt out according to the culture and time period."
Probably.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but your problem with this study is that there's an off chance of it being fabricated?
That's pretty silly.
