I'm hoping to (finally) upgrade my gpu from my gtx 1060, but before I do I want to make sure there isn't a different part I should upgrade first.

Besides a better gpu (look out for PCI-e gen difference) I highly recommend a higher refresh rate monitor, e.g. 144 Hz instead of 60 Hz. If you use your pc for gaming, this will make a huge difference in experience.

Also, unless you care about a silent pc or 'cool running' one, I'd wait and see whether you really need to upgrade your PSU when upgrading your GPU, but don't let it exhaust itself

what about physical strength and the inclination for socialization? These traits vary on both genders, but generally all men are physically strong, all women are physically weak(er); and generally all women have inclination for socialization, all men have less inclination for socialization.

Other traits that largely vary within one gender, probably also largely vary between genders, so these cancel out.

I might be wrong about this last point though, but to just shrug this off as if this is taken completely out of the blue and rarely intuitively observed in day-to-day life, is not fair.

fuck I feel stupid, I saw that page but I thought it was only the .jpeg file.

But unfortunately it does not run under Wine :(

This is the biggest problem. “Intuitive observation” means the evidence is anecdotal,........

I agree, I just wanted to point out that I felt like you shrugged away the example as if there is not even an intuitively observed phenomenon.

BUT back to the point. I may not have proof that women are more sociable, but it's damn plausible from a evolutionary perspective, women care for children -> thus more sociable inclined to children. So what is your response to this and the trait of physical strength of men? These are pretty obvious no? Do you acknowledge this difference to be more pronounced between genders than within one gender?

you do have a point in the sense that if we live in a utopia, I think there is good reason to think that it shouldn't matter what choices people make, they all get the same 'reward'/financial outcome/etc.

You said:

If the world has the resources to allow it, then why should one person be punished for chasing their joy while another is rewarded?

Yes okay, but what if there are limited resources? Or a world that needs improvement? Isn't it then better to incentivize people to work hard to make our world of limited resources a world of abundance? If yes, then it means to give those a higher reward at the expense of those who made "other choices".

Are we now living in a world of limited resources / that needs improvement? If yes, then it would probably be justified to take from those who made "other choices"

there’s no equivalence here.

So you would give menstrual products to people with a uterus but don't say anything about not giving menstrual products to people without a uterus?

But would you? If you do not, wouldn't that make you treat people unequally, in some sense?

well if you are a reliable source to yourself, I'd say:

Men have more muscle mass than women so they are stronger, particularly in the upper body

And for the other other, the rougher mental, I don't want to play mean or anything, but isn't the burden of proof more on your side? Yes it is certainly possible society molds certain characteristics of men, but that doesn't necessarily mean this particularly trait is - the rougher mental. Don't you agree, right now, in western society, men are less likely to admit their pain?

So for example a physical trauma. Both man and woman get hurt by the same amount, the man would have a higher chance of "shrugging it off" because 2 reason: thicker skin (as you said), and have a rougher mental (or at least want to appear to have), e.g. they want to be seen strong, so they are more inclined to say they are ok
