And undone again by me. The first ref is being misstated. It's a single study with small numbers of subjects, there are no results at all for the age groups 15–16 or 16–17, and the results are corrected for body mass. I can't even verify that the second source exists. The publisher does exist, but it does not list that book or that author in its catalog. Meters (talk) 04:57, 11 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
I don't understand what the problem is since two academic books are cited to support these claims. However, now I think my edits are probably out of place here. I added this only as a detail and cited sources as the rules of Wikipedia require. With names, pages... OK, you are free to return my edits if you want. I refuse to edit this article.

This article is about the differences in humans between the sexes, i.e the biological differences between the bimodal spectrum known as sex, within humans. Sociology has nothing to do with it, this article is about biology, not sociology. The article also massively conflates gender and sex, which are considered by most contemporary social scientists, behavioral scientists and biologists, many legal systems and government bodies, and intergovernmental agencies such as the WHO, to be different.

Just because sex and gender are conceptually distinct doesn't mean that one can't inform us about the other. Because the vast majority of people have the same sex and gender, sex differences in behavior are evident in the data. Crossroads-talk-21:18, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
But the intro of the article being focused on sex chromosomes implies that ALL differences listed here are directly caused by the X or Y chromosome, when I think it's well understood that social conditioning is the primary factor in a majority of sociological differences. I don't think that "Gender disparity" should redirect to this article, like it currently does. Either a separate article for differences in/linked to social norms and expectations should be made, or this article should be clearly split into two sections, with chromosomal differences de-emphasized in the introduction.
