We will do a literal study showing a consistent difference in preference and it will still end up in r/pointlesslygendered

What would be the point of noting the preferences between genders?

In our current world, probably mostly used for marketing.

Beyond that just interesting cool stuff that could lead to better understandings of how people see the world or how they're socialized to if it turns out to not be inherent. There's not a purpose in ignoring preferences that can be studied snd replicated just cuz they're based on gender.

I usually hate this subreddit as well, but sometimes they got a point. I mean I saw a statistic here that said something like "2/3 of people who sneeze from sunlight are women". I sometimes do that and I'm a male. Does that mean I'm gay or effeminate? Hell no.
