Agreeableness and disagreeableness are two facts that might overlap at some points but still conflict on some points. If we talk about genders, men are less agreeable while women are more friendly and understanding. There is a very less middle in the case; both the genders are at their extreme. This is the fact behind the reason that more men are in jail as prisoners as compared to women.

Opinion Lecture Seventeen Jordan PetersonÂ
I would say this rings true, I guess in the modern world he has delineated between men and women saying that there are differences between the two. Well, not shit Sherlock there are huge differences, and I am not surprised that you can group certain attributes together. Everything he said here has some form of an evidence base to support it and certainly rings true. However, I can see how some people may even think it’s insane to be offended by this. Remember don’t work in extremes you will find extreme stuff, focus on the numbers and then you will get an objective truth.
