Whenever I get to talking to women who I've always known to have certain qualities about them - courteous, calm, hardworking, generous - it almost always turns out that they grew up with strong male influences, particularly from older brothers (not so much with younger brothers).
On the other hand, whenever I meet women who are highly emotional, easily stressed out, and tend to see themselves as victims (with their resultant accusations of all sorts e.g. sexism), they almost always grew up with mostly sisters. If they had any brothers, it would have been much younger brothers. They tend not to relate to men very well and instead approach men in a more sexual way also.
Is this reflected in anyone else's experience? Or is it coincidence or bias on my part? Please do not answer based on how things should or should not be, but rather answer based on your own actual experiences with people whom you know.
