What makes it really fun if your psych asks for multiple answers, some in a 7 point scale and some at a 10 point scale. And then forgets to say it every time. So you have to ask. :l

4 = Neutral
3 or 5 = Little
2 or 6 = Somewhat
1 or 7 = Heavily/Likely

1-7 works very well for scales involving how you feel about something

e.g. Kinsey Scale has 1 as only interested in opposite sex and 7 as only interested in same sex. 4 is could go either way, 3 is slightly more into opposite, 6 is heavily into same sex, etc.

It's interesting and sad how so many people state their sexist and stereotypical believes as facts. And than want proof their believes are wrong, otherwise they will continue to believe in their sexist beliefs as if they were facts, even without any proof for their own narrative.

I could ask you, why are you so sure women want children more?

Studies and national surveys of multiple countries show the opposite:

Gender differences in willingness for childbirth, fertility knowledge, and value of motherhood or fatherhood and their associations among college students in South Korea, 2021

Female students showed lower willingness for future childbirth than male students (χ2 = 26.85, p < .001). Women valued motherhood significantly less than men valued fatherhood (t = 6.34, p < .001). Women had a lower fertility knowledge score than men (t = 2.53 p = .012).

Why Young Women Are Less Interested In Marriage And Children Than Young Men

When it comes to having children a similar pattern emerged, with 67% of males saying they want to have children one day compared to 61% of females. Just 12% of males said they didn’t want children compared to 16% of females

Why do more men than women think children equal fulfillment?

Props for pulling the sources!

Though the other commenter saying "that sounds like it is made up" is definitely not presenting an opinion as fact, it is challenging that you presented your opinion as fact (in the uninformed person's eyes) with no sources to back it up (in your original comment). But then you came with proof afterwards that it has indeed been studied and is a fact.

That does not mean that he was "stating his sexist stereotype as fact".

If I said:

"Multiple studies have shown that the majority of people think the earth is flat"

with no sources.

Then anyone would be very reasonable to say "that sounds like you are making it up" (which in this case is true).

Actually, you can find studies that confirm any bias you like.

What matters a lot more is what the body of research as a whole trends towards. Meta studies are the things to read, if you can get them.

"Men who want kids have lower testosterone" first of all bullshit, but let's assume its true. That means the men are older, not that they have more female characteristics.

I take testosterone supplements, solely to squash any inkling of the thought of having kids. Plus, the boosted T-levels may contribute to an earlier cardiovascular event, further reducing my chances of having a kid; it's a win-win all around

In my experience, it isn't really like that. I used to be the only guy in a medical transcription class in college. It was kind of like I was invisible most of the time, but the older women in the class treated me normally at least.

As a guy who went to nursing school and was like one of 5 guys in a class of 80, it definitely isn't as great as it sounds. Mostly it means that there is a lot of cliques and your options are be ignored/ignore them, or get involved in which case there WILL be drama

I was one of the 5 guys in my nursing class as well. Our class was a bit smaller, maybe 40, but I really vibed with it. I chose the option of seeming "aloof", so I could ignore the cliques and drama. I was in a relationship most of the time too, so that helped with being uninterested.

Only had a problem with one teacher for a semester (no idea why she was so hard on me), but after a visit to her office to help me improve my clinical paperwork, she lightened up. Actually became one of my favorites, even though still very scary

But idk, I kinda liked the almost-all-girl thing. Lots of attractive girls to hang out (and commiserate with), plus I had plenty enough guy time at work and with friends. It was a cool change of pace for me.

But also... fuck nursing school. Some of the most stressful years of my life. Girls or nah, you can't make me go back

Agreed, 80 women in a grouping usually means a bunch of weird cliques. Meanwhile ya have 80 dude in grouping and you will end up with cliques they are usually subject based IE warhammer clique, weired car clique, sports clique and will dissolve and form at complete random.
