Sex differences

Sex differences means differences in behaviour or abilities between males and females. As with supposed racial differences there is no evidence that there are any. What looks like a genetic sex difference in aggressiveness, for instance, is due to a cultural process of learning the sex role considered appropriate for males or females.
