pffft ladies, ever heard of a gym?

File this one under "uh yeah duh, but I guess there's scientific evidence now backing it up".

In a previous publication, Hagen and Rosenstrm predicted and found that grip strength, a highly sexually dimorphic index of physical formidability, mediated much of the effect of sex on depression.

Thus it is proven that pickle jars really are the cause of society's problems.

Nothing cures depression like suplexing someone.

Yeah this. Correlate it to physical strength, but causal is the existence of threats.

Chief among those threats being... well... the obvious.

If Gamefaqs gave gold, you would have got one just now.

I think this more shows how underrated physical strength is in society. The West has been trying to do the best it can to mitigate it

Men should be more aware of this info and treat women nicer. Especially the cisgendered white males walking around with their extreme privilege.

Havent read the paper, but my assumption was this has almost nothing to do with sexual violence in particular, and is about general fear and anxiety. E.g. women are more afraid of being hit by a car, of losing their job, of their kids suffocating in their sleep, etc., because of an evolutionary tie to physical strength.

Cool story bro, but the paper literally suggests threats as being the reason.

The paper does suggest a correlation with assault and depression. Essentially strong people aren't assaulted that much

Haven't read your post, but my assumption is that you're agreeing with everything Gladius said on the matter. Glad we're all on the same page.

Grip strength is strongly correlated with why it happens. Also works as a convenient health test, especially for men

"Women may suffer depression and anxiety more than men due to be weaker"

SEXIST >:O

how do we cancel all the authors and the publishers?

I'm not sure mediation makes any sense here. Like, if depression prevalance is correlated with sex, and grip strength is also correlated with sex, then finding that removing variance from sex by including grip strength reduces association with depression tells me...what?

I think mediation very rarely makes much sense.

I'd be far more convinced if grip strength correlated to depressivd symptoms within a sex.

Anxiety is more understandable for women, they can get attacked just by being outside alone

I've only been attacked a few times as an adult, and each time, I'm kind of astounded that these people, clearly much smaller and weaker than I, would even bother to try. I think they were super cracked out each time, but still, you'd think survival instinct would run deeper.

I say this to highlight that it's rare enough for strong guys to get assaulted that it's shocking when it actually does happen.

I can't blame them for feeling that way. Women are weaker than men.

Makes sense. Not trying to sound badass or anything but I never feel fear of other people because I've been a big boi since puberty. It's been very sobering having women as friends that explain how they feel around strangers, especially men

im not sure how true this is
but i heard it on the internet many years before but it could be bullshit cause the internet can be sexist

but i heard that men tend to enter the fight or flight response quicker than women so men will react to danger much faster where as it takes a woman a few extra seconds for that instinct to kick in which can mean the difference between pulling out a concealed weapon and being overpowered.

the claim was that women also recognize the patterns that put them in the dangerous situation in the first place and are more likely to avoid winding up in the same situation again where as men are more likely to repeat the process that put them in danger in the first place

Don't know how true this is either. Being stronger does make men better at moving ie CNS activation, reaction and powerful/mighty

Yeah the strength differences are pretty unfathomable for the sexes. The strongest women are about as strong as the weakest men
