I’m sorry but what an asshole of a teacher.
Who the fuck uses 7 point scales to rate something
A 7 point, or Likert scale, is extremely common in a lot of fields, particularly psychology and social sciences.
4 = Neutral
3 or 5 = Little
2 or 6 = Somewhat
1 or 7 = Heavily/Likely
1-7 works very well for scales involving how you feel about something
e.g. Kinsey Scale has 1 as only interested in opposite sex and 7 as only interested in same sex. 4 is could go either way, 3 is slightly more into opposite, 6 is heavily into same sex, etc.
The best response to that would be a nice and clear “and…?”
People have a hard time publicly voicing their clarifications after being called out.
“Any of you ladies want to get in touch with my feminine side, you know where to find me. 😘”
No shit it’s correlated more women want kids than men. Professor was a dipshit
Actually, multiple studies show that men have higher desire to have children than women.
It’s interesting and sad how so many people state their sexist and stereotypical believes as facts. And than want proof their believes are wrong, otherwise they will continue to believe in their sexist beliefs as if they were facts, even without any proof for their own narrative.
I could ask you, why are you so sure women want children more?
Studies and national surveys of multiple countries show the opposite:
Female students showed lower willingness for future childbirth than male students (χ2 = 26.85, p < .001). Women valued motherhood significantly less than men valued fatherhood (t = 6.34, p < .001). Women had a lower fertility knowledge score than men (t = 2.53 p = .012).
Why Young Women Are Less Interested In Marriage And Children Than Young Men
When it comes to having children a similar pattern emerged, with 67% of males saying they want to have children one day compared to 61% of females. Just 12% of males said they didn’t want children compared to 16% of females
Why do more men than women think children equal fulfillment?

Actually, you can find studies that confirm any bias you like.
What matters a lot more is what the body of research as a whole trends towards. Meta studies are the things to read, if you can get them.
Do you have a source that women want children more than men? Since so many of you treat that as a fact I am sure you have ample of research backing you up.
“Men who want kids have lower testosterone” first of all bullshit, but let’s assume its true. That means the men are older, not that they have more female characteristics.
I take testosterone supplements, solely to squash any inkling of the thought of having kids. Plus, the boosted T-levels may contribute to an earlier cardiovascular event, further reducing my chances of having a kid; it’s a win-win all around
