women may be from Venus, but men are actually from Uranus

Although the physical difference between the sexes in size and anatomical structure is obvious, the question of differences in the psychology of men and women is much more complex and ambiguous, and it is not so easy to reliably measure these differences.
And when psychologists manage to detect such differences, then, as a rule, disputes flare up as to whether they are innate, that is, biological, or acquired - sociocultural.

This question is especially difficult to answer when it comes to personality traits. According to the results of most studies, men do differ from women in terms of some important character traits.
But what explains this difference - biology or the influence of society?
In one study, women generally rated themselves as warm-hearted, friendly, anxious, and shy.
Men, on the other hand, tended to describe themselves as persistent and open to new ideas.
In terms of personality psychology, women on average were dominated by two of the so-called Big Five personality traits, namely willingness to negotiate (associated with accommodating) and neuroticism (characterized by high intelligence), as well as one of the aspects of openness to experience.
In men, one of the aspects of extraversion was more pronounced, as well as an aspect of openness to experience, which is not characteristic of women.

In addition, a number of studies have shown that personality differences between the sexes begin to appear at a very early age.
And, apparently, the differences between the sexes persist into old age.

Also, women in general have such aspects as enthusiasm, compassion, politeness, discipline, emotional instability, isolation and openness, and men - perseverance, diligence and intelligence.

I am still more inclined to believe that over the course of many generations, men have influenced the formation of the personal qualities of women, just as women have influenced men.
