"Men's historical dominance of the workplace may, in part, be because of their ability to reconcile with enemies after conflict, a new study suggests...Researchers have long been puzzled by the abilities of male chimpanzees, who constantly bicker and fight, to put aside their differences and co-operate and work together in struggles for territory with other groups. Studies showed that male and female chimps acted differently in the aftermath of fights, with males much more inclined to engage in reconciliation behaviours.... Prof Benenson believe that overall, her new work shows that these reconciliation abilities are an "evolved sex difference that still operates today". "It's the idea that you can have a mechanism that allows you to go from that tremendous competition to beat others to being able to form groups and create human society. "Really men have done that in business, in
religion, in education and the military - they form these relationships where they are willing to die for each other in some cases." These traits have been, and continue to be, to the detriment of women in the workplace, Prof Benenson believes. She argues that in family settings, women are able to fight and make up in the same way as men, but in the office environment the same incentives don't seem to be there"...That men are more likely to reconcile after a conflict supports other studies showing that male-male relationships are generally different than female-female relationships," said Prof Robert Deaner from Grand Valley State University, who wasn't involved in the work. "A woman's relationship with another woman is often gravely damaged if one woman achieves greater status than the other or somehow outdoes her."
https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-36969103 Just wanted to share it, but I do believe in gender equality and equal opportunities.
I have a question wrote: We are however, a very very very long way away from gender equality in the Church, as the General Conference example shows.
It really doesn't matter because the LDS church is just a church and LDS women like it. 54% of LDS members in the US are women. If adult LDS women want to follow a sexist church there isn't much we can do about it. Just let them follow it.
