October 2018 – People still recognize key differences between genders, as described by a July 24 report based on data collected in 2017 from a Pew survey of more than 4,000 people.

People most often used the words protective, father, and honorable as positive descriptions of men. Multitasking, brain, beautiful, and maternal were the most popular positive words used to describe women.

Both men and women agreed that the two genders express their feelings differently, have different hobbies and interests, and possess different physical abilities.

“People said traits related to strength and ambition are especially valued for men in society; and compassion, kindness, and responsibility are particularly valued for women,” the Pew report said.
