Great piece! Love the condensation of the main points. I will save a link to this post - which should be accompanied by a post explaining why some people react so very emotional and hostile to any mention of sex differences. Which should be accompanied by a post about techniques of de-escalation …

Is it culture? Certainly it is both culture and genetics. Culture affects mate selection and mate selection affects genes. Hunter-gather bands adapt to changing environments by changing their culture. Genes evolve and cultures evolve. Genes affect culture and culture affects genes.

People who say it’s just culture are wrong. People who say it’s just genetics can be mostly correct assuming they are taking a snapshot in time. When time is a variable, over long periods of time culture certainly has an impact.
