You and a friend have an argument in which your friend insists that males and females are very different in many intellectual and social domains. What can you tell your friend about gender differences and their importance?

What will be an ideal response?

A good answer will be similar to the following:
First, gender differences have not been found in many domains. In the area of intellectual ability, gender differences have been found in some aspects of three domains — verbal ability, mathematical ability, and spatial ability. In the area of social behavior, the most firmly established gender difference is greater aggression in males. Gender differences also seem to exist in greater emotional sensitivity and greater susceptibility to social influence in females. Even though these differences exist, the differences in group averages for males and females are very small, which means that there is considerable overlap in the distributions of males and females. Also, even though gender differences have been found in a few intellectual and behavioral domains, there are still many areas in which gender differences have not been found.
