Since kleinbl00 already covered the majority of your silly argument I just want to address what you directed at me. Firstly, regarding your genetic rant, again I feel the need to reiterate that men and women are not genetic clones with different physical parts. All these studies show differences in them which due to genetics and hormones predispose them to acting in different ways. So kindly get off your soap box for a moment while you contemplate the indisputable fact that men and women developed differently based on evolutionary, societal, and cultural incentives for doing so. This happens in virtually every species on Earth. If you think people are really just half mom and half dad, you need some time alone with your Punnett Squares.

As for the main part of what you directed at me, the part about quantifying individualism, that is answered in this article. I suggest following kleinbl00's advice and giving this another read in the morning while trying to keep your emotions out of it. I know that's a lot of effort and a lot of reading, but you're clearly not understanding the opposing viewpoint, and if you ever want to argue outside of an echo chamber and avoid looking foolish, understanding the opposing viewpoint is vital. However, I doubt you'll reread it, as that would interfere with your confirmation bias.
