I recall reading that you want to isolate some small number of variables and look at them to see if you can find anything interesting.
Specifically, you want to isolate two variables and determine the influence that one (the independent variable) has on the other (the dependent variable). Central to this aim is eliminating other variables (covariates) that might be exerting influence on the dependent variable and confounding your results. In this case, the independent variable—biological sex—is clearly confounded by the influence of social conditioning. It is unreasonable to assume that tennis training magically overcomes 20+ years of indoctrination by a culture that discourages aggressiveness in women.
Clearly, huh? That's a really interesting assertion. Society indoctrinates women to not be aggressive -- all women? I have a hard time with this. I think you're being unreasonable here -- maybe a study is in order? You seem to be clinging to the belief that society molds you, that nurture is more important than nature essentially. That idea has taken a beating in recent years. Take a look at Genome: Autobiography of a Speces in 23 Chapters. |
