Oh boy, research showing differences between biological genders. This is going to either be ignored or absolutely explode.

Sexes, not genders. Sexes are biological: chromosomes, hormones, body morphology. Genders are social: baby boys and girls have definite sexes, but their gender identifies are not the same as of grown-up straight men and women, to say nothing of genderqueer people, etc My hope is that the biological aspects are still in the realm of science.

Get a life.

Put another way, both men and women seem to agree that breakups are more likely the man's fault than the woman's. What I found curious is that at the same time, apparently the majority of "laypeople" when asked about it in an online survey, expected no gender difference at all.

It's a strange disparity in the data, I wonder if it's due to sampling or if people genuinely think their own experiences are atypical.

Edit: I'd be interested in finding out what's so offensive about this observation. I'll gladly take 100 more downvotes and flags, but please tell me what caused so much consternation.

It's sociology and psychology research, not biology. Biological explanation in this article is speculation not backed by the study.

This is an unsurprising position to hold when you don’t know (or refuse to acknowledge) the difference between gender and sex. Do you think people who transition to a different gender think there’s no difference between the two?

I'm fully aware of the supposed distiction. Feel free to read my statement as "biologically implied gender".

When couples break up it’s usually because the man is a loser, so it makes sense.

Added: Look, I’m not happy about this, it’s just the way it is, and pretending otherwise just gets everybody into a ton of trouble.

>biological genders The word you're looking for is "sex." There's no such thing as a "biological gender."

"a term for a grammatical subclass to join sex in referring to either of the two primary biological forms of a species"

Don't try to rewrite grammar to fit trends.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What percentage of relationships include violence? I doubt this is a strong explanation for the difference stated in the article.

I hate to be dismissive, but literally google your own question. Start here https://www.thehotline.org/resources/statistics/

Actually it was up to the original poster to give the numbers. He was right to ask. You can't prove your point and hope that everyone will know the numbers you are relying on to prove your point.

Moreover, you original question suggets that you didn't read the published article.

What sort of men? Cisgender men? Heterosexual men? Arabic men? There's no such thing as a man -- "man" an abstract concept that needs definition before any useful statement can be made about people in that category.

"The requirement for participation [in this study] was having a heterosexual orientation and a former romantic relationship that had lasted at least 4 months."
