It's brain chemistry (specifically receptors) + culture, not estrogen alone.
Estrogen does affect moods + behavior, but even so it can't quite be 1 to 1 compared between men and women - low estrogen in women usually causes depression and other problems, the same is not true for men where testosterone is the more important factor in mental health. The effects the same hormone has are different between men and women due to how men vs women's neuroreceptors interact with them.
Yes, estrogen affects the mood - so does testosterone. But saying estrogen makes you 'gullible' is retarded. Women are more risk-averse, but that's due to thousands of years of evolution where women were the primary caregivers. Women are more risk-averse because they carry and care for children.
Yeah I don't disagree pede, estrogen doesn't make you more gullible, else women should rate lower on interpreting social cues which doesn't hold.
Women are more agreeable however, that does hold true, and that's a mix of hormones + brain chemistry and culture. And ofc being physically weaker means you (historically speaking) needed to be able to handle conflict in a largely non-physical way (firearms even this out in terms of self defense at least). Being more risk averse is a part of women's biology, not merely cultural. Going a little on a tangent here: women that invest make 7% more return on their investments on avg compared to men thanks to it.
Yes, I agree women are more agreeable - even to the point where we're too agreeable and acquiesce to things we shouldn't. So I guess we're in agreement. I just get annoyed because I think a lot of men on this site are predisposed to shitting on women as inferior and I think its unwarranted. Of course there are negative "typically feminine" traits - there are some associated with men as well. That doesn't mean I think of men as being inferior - we are complementary.
