Middle-class sexism: who cares?

Noted: In fact, women and men may be strangely alike. When the psychologist Janet Shibley Hyde of the University of Wisconsin-Madison analysed mountains of research on male-female differences in 2005, she found only a few innate differences. As the American Psychological Association summed up: “Men could throw farther than women, were more physically aggressive, masturbated more and held more positive attitudes about sex in uncommitted relationships.” Hyde thought most other differences resulted from people trying to live up to expected gender norms.
