Should Gender Stereotypes be challenged?

That is one reason, and not necessarily exclusionary.


Do they? Do you have studies demonstrating that male dogs are more aggressive than female dogs?

Here is a basic sites saying statistically males are on average more aggressive than females.

I'm surprised you would ask for studies demonstrating this, basic experience with most mammals like cats and dogs should be enough to know that males are usually more aggressive.

The reason why I asked is because so often, what we regard as "everybody knows" kind of stuff is later found to be bullshit. Especially online, I will ask for sources for what seem to be the most obvious things. As noted earlier, these aren't studies, but I'll look to see if I can find any support they might be drawn on.

I appreciate you trying to come through on Pool's behalf. I'm wondering if he can be bothered to support any of his own claims beyond what you've done here.

I've had cats all my life and males have bigger territory, fight way more, I've had two ginger tom cats who were the stereotype of this, scars all of their face looking like a cat version of a pirate.
Neutered males tend to show much less aggression and cut down on their territorial behaviour because obviously they don't need to go out prowling for females.

And I've seen submissive male dogs expose belly to females. Personal experiences aren't evidence. Thanks again for the links.
