    sure, but experts have been making bad assumptions before.

    Like archaeologists up until relatively recently have been calling viking graves with swords in male, without really looking at the actual skeleton.

    that said, yeah, I still definitely trust the experts more

      My wife’s been reading this book that references this. As well so many other cases of men assuming genders or disregarding women in science, among other things. It’s crazy. “hmm that skeleton has wide hips, but it is also buried with a sword, so it’s a man”. Female physiology traits in a man is way more plausible, than a woman being buried with a sword … wtf?!?

      Anyway, the book is next on my reading list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invisible_Women:_Exposing_Data_Bias_in_a_World_Designed_for_Men

      Shouldn’t have just assumed but in that case it was the correct assumption vast majority of the time. Still bad to assume.

          And out of Viking graves with swords, how many of them have turned out to be women?
