The average Homo sapiens father has always been older than the average Homo sapiens mother, the study found, with men becoming parents at 30.7 years old, versus 23.2 years for women.

It's interesting that this trend extends even past the agricultural evolution, back during the "communistic" hunter-gatherer societies.

This is anecdotal but as someone that returned to college in my late 20s the women are just so much more mature than the men are.

My female classmates will be consistently in class, maintaining good GPAs, and often working part time while participating in clubs or lab programs.

The men are well struggling to shower and bragging about not showing up to class thinking it makes them look cool and just being icky in general.

As my female friends put it the bar is in hell and they still aren't getting over it.

Shit, dyslexia made me read that as not showering lol. But yeah, I think most people did skip class at least once in their life time, usually some boring classes.
