Therefore, to further demonstrate the existence of gender, race, sex, and class as determining roles within interactions, I analyzed various interactions among individuals in three different settings: a social space, a place of…

Sex differences are a controversial topic, and over time, they (and the studies on them) have become embedded in pop culture so much that it is difficult to separate fact from fiction. Most importantly, these studies, if done incorrectly, can contribute – and often cater – to the prevalent stereotypes about men and women.
