To the moderators…. Please make some effort to get politics and social BS like this off hacker news. Gresham’s law is in operation here, merrily driving out reasonable comments and letting the trolls win. Or, if that’s not going to happen, move it to r/hackernews and stop paying for the url.
It's a medical measurement, not about political or social BS.
It’s a waste of air (or electrons) to state the pathetically obvious (at best) or hostile to state it with a Nyah-Nyah overtone merely to offend people. Almost all women are more empathetic than almost all men, which means almost all men are assholes more than almost all women. No need to keep proving it.
Trolls? Politics? I don't know much about this study but it's findings are incredibly obvious to anyone living in reality. Maybe that's why it's not worthy of discussion?
