    There are over 200 years of records and observation.

    We can make models of how the average man or woman tends to behave in a given region.

    For example. We know that men are a lot more likely to study to become mechanics than women. That’s not a rule that women can’t. But it’s a statistic that they often don’t

        Depends entierly on the region. Different places have different customs regarding the stereotype for which ear is the “good ear”.

            I never said it’s a rule. I said it’s a stereotype. I dunno. Someone might assume you’re gay.

              Assuming is pretty rude. I need an indicator over my head. Something to let them know.

                You could try a printed T shirt. “I’m gay”. Should get the message across
