      Yes, despite the fact that the existence of those rules is heavily contested in modern society. But I wasn’t talking about social expectations, I’m talking about the effects of hormonal balances which are scientifically proven.

      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
