We have representative samples and general differences in philogenesis. And these generate tendencies, but that is, again, a topic of another thread. representative samples != all women ever. Indeed. Saying that because something holds true to persons A, B, C, and D that it must therefore hold true to all other persons is called a hasty generalization and is, according to science, invalid.

It's scary how much some of this thinking is reminding me of some dialogue from Planet of the Apes and Roots movies. One based on fiction and one based on history where scientists made such claims before having their theories proven wrong.
