I think if it does determine your personality, then its fully a gender thing determined by society. I don't think its determined by science at all.

In general, when women do things they're viewed more harshly than men who do the same. People call rude women bitches, but call rude men snarky or sarcastic. Confident women are arrogant, while confident men are just confident. Things as simple as crying are labelled as feminine ("why are you crying! Boys don't cry!") and therefore bad. It's pretty fucked up.

But if it has to do with how people view someone it probably is gender instead of sex.

Well sex determines things like immunity to certain diseases. So why not things like pieces of personality? The two sexes were made for different purposes and given tools as such. Why not give personality traits that correspond?

ooookay that was a nice thing to read

I don’t think biology should play a giant roll in how someone acts. They can’t help their biology but their personality/way of thinking is a bit more jaded on how it worlds.

It's possible, but I don't think so. But It's impossible to know. Because of society and gender roles in society, its pretty much impossible to distinguish whether certain personality traits are determined by actual biological sex or gender and how society treats people of certain genders.

Stalling to see what Eris says so I can think of stuff.

Also what happened to the meme chat?

I’m still Switzerland in this one.
I think it’s both yes and no, based on hormones and general DNA set up.

What do you mean by this?

Like the Man Cold? Frickin science.

Though wait… Immunity isn't right. How they react to the diseases.

That's not science, that's gender roles and men being weak

Ouch.

Sorry, but it's true. It's not scientifically backed up. There have been a few studies, but not enough to produce concrete evidence.

It's cool mate.

But yours mentioned the estrogen plus the one I have used a study to contradict (the nasal cell bit).

Yeah, but it clarifies that its not a concrete fact, even after multiple studies.

"The man cold might have some biological truth to it. Some studies say men may have more symptoms than women when they have a cold.

“Regarding colds, there may be some impact of sex,” says Kim Templeton, MD, a surgeon at the University of Kansas Hospital. Templeton has done extensive studies on gender differences in health.

The female sex hormone estrogen slows down how fast a virus multiplies, Templeton says. This may lead to fewer symptoms. The flu virus may not spread as quickly in women because of estrogen and how the female body reacts to it. Studies have not shown if the same thing applies to the cold virus."

Sex can determine your likelyhood to get diseases, but not really your reaction.
Although autistic women are often misdiagnosed much more than men because it manifests differently.
