Do you think there are biological differences between genders ?

For example, is the fact that men tend to negotiate more a social construct, or is it based in biology?

Should society tax men for their behavior and redistribute the wealth to women?

I'm not arguing for any side by the way. Not sure what to think of this myself.

I think we discount the behavioral effects of testosterone across the board. T is known to increase status-seeking behavior which surely has an influence in career choices.

And risk taking. Assuming more risk on average yields higher returns. There was a study in Germany where under laboratory conditions, women still chose less risky strategies than men and therefore earned around 20% less in the scenarios they tried.

A bachelor tax? I mean, really, what would that actually solve?
