In their new paper, the authors Gershoni and Pietrokovsk looked at how active the same genes are in men and women. They measured the RNA produced by 18,670 genes in 53 different tissues (45 common to both sexes) in 544 adult post mortem donors (357 men and 187 women).
They found that about one third of these genes (more than 6,500) had very different activities in men and women. Some genes were active in men only or women only. Many genes were far more active in one sex or the other.
A few of these genes showed sex biased activity in every tissue of the body. More commonly, the difference was seen in one or a few tissues.
Most of these genes were not on sex chromosomes: only a few lay on the Y or the X.

That's how it will be received in academia.
“A few of these genes showed sex biased activity in every tissue of the body.”
I’m guessing that the men’s genes were more biased than the woman’s.
Touch something hard - “sex”.
Touch something soft - “sex”
Smell something sweet - “sex”
Smell something like sawdust - “sex”
etc.
I love their conclusion:
>What do these new insights mean for our progress toward gender equity? A bad outcome could be appeals to return to outdated sexual stereotypes. A good outcome will be recognition of sex differences in medicine and treatment.
Science confirms traditional views of male and female differences, but they can’t admit it.
There’s no room for science in science.
This shouldn’t surprise anyone.
I liked Wrangler jeans. Does that mean that I was hornier than others? That I was more physical with my “cows”? That “ rawhide” meant something besides cattle wrangling? Does it mean that Rev. Wright’s “ridin’ dirty” didn’t refer to a cattle roundup and drive? How about “drivin’ dirty”? Do jeans have anything to do with that? Did it apply to cars too?
/sarc for the PC infected minds.
The woman’s jeans brand should have simply been “OMG”.
As for the guy’s jeans brand, “WTF”.
All this money and time to find out that women and men are different.
If they were smart and wanted to keep the money coming they would do all their research using separate studies, all males and all females, doubling the studies.
Also, female mice get stressed when they smell any male (even on clothing) so that throws out tons of research. Plus only 25% of new research is duplicated. oops.
As we used to say in school back around 1960, “She has her jeans spray painted on.”
