Brain research on boys’ preference for video games and girls’ for social media
IMHO a big part of &quot;controversy&quot; surrounding the idea of purely biological male vs. female predispositions comes from people not really understanding how statistics work. People feel that results like this are somehow limiting to them individually so they argue emotionally against it, but statistics don&#x27;t really deal with the individual outcomes. Statistical researches are never about you, me or any single individual. Just because on average sexes seem to prefer different things doesn&#x27;t mean that every and single person of that sex has to feel that way, there will always be a spectrum of different results on the individual level. It&#x27;s like saying that males are taller than females, that doesn&#x27;t imply that there&#x27;s no short men, or very tall women, we all know that there&#x27;s a lot of them.<p>Now, that said, I personally don&#x27;t buy neither just &quot;everything is predefined by biology&quot;, nor the &quot;the society shapes everything&quot; positions, both seem like crude over-simplifications.
