    Yea … so in short, men lean psychopathic and women lean reasonable (stereotypically speaking, with however much divergence being potentially slight).

    In the west, I’d suspect, beyond your comments, there’s a tendency for men to feel like they have to pretend to be “tough”, and often that translates into what the whole “toxic masculinity” thing is all about … just shitty and dumb behaviours to the point that caring about something important can “make you look like a wimp”.

    I like a line Bill Burr threw at Joe Rogan when talking about vaccines etc, where Rogan said something stupidly “hyper-macho” and Burr straight way just yelled something to the effect of “Ok, let’s all just drag our knuckles along the floor like we’re apes now”.
