      Oh I’m not riled up remotely.

      You just contradicted yourself quite badly, so I was clearing things up.

      So you do believe the myth that women are better shots? Because unfortunately, science doesn’t seem to support that notion. But I’m not saying you can’t believe in what you want, lots of people believe in magic sky daddys to give them the mental support they need. If yours is thinking you’re better than others - while failing to prove it, well that’s up to you, hunny. :)

          You have the writing skills of one, definitely.

          It’s just gives me a ton of joy to make people realise they can’t back any of the bs coming from their mouths. :)

              Nor have I said that you have.

              You’ve just pretended like it is true, despite the overwhelming lack of data showing any kind of mechanism for it.

              You just like thinking women are better marksmen. Despite there being no proof.

              It’s okay, many people are religious.

              Results: The results of the study indicated that men scored higher than women in pistol events and that no performance differences were found in rifle events when the whole group was compared.

              https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7068418/

              And these precision competitions utilise air rifles, which are much lighter in weight and recoil than “proper” firearms.

              Notice how I’m still not claiming men are better shooters.
