So empathizing is a small scale value to society, and systematizing is a large scale value to society. And if you will tolerate my offense for a moment, I’ll quote Peterson and say that “It’s not at all clear women in politics is survivable”. Same for men and childbearing. https://twitter.com/curtdoolittle/status/1384171291205193737

The nearly universal difference in cognitive and behavioral expression of female vs mail brains is the balance between empathizing and systematizing. With psychosis the failure of extreme empathizing, and autism the failure of extreme systematizing. https://twitter.com/curtdoolittle/status/1384170338758447104

All sex differences overlap, because all of us are wired for some combination of male and female cogntivive and emotional bias. But the distribution (stereotypes) remain true. Stereotypes are the most accurate measure in social science, just as IQ is in psychological science. https://twitter.com/curtdoolittle/status/1384170338758447104

The NAXALT fallacy(not all x are like that) is a female cognitive bias – ie exceptions do not invalidate a general rule. Some men are cognitively feminine(empathy first) and some women are cognitively male(fact first),but the distribution of male and female bias is stereotypical.
