I would ask "Do rationalists views' differ by gender?" but that would lead to reliable failure mode.

Then I'd ask "Does the failure mode differ by gender?"

An interesting question and one that should be easy to answer empirically. The observation attached to it isn't incorrect, but I do think you should remember there is such a thing as a self-fulfilling prophecy. (~_^)

Now I'm really curious if there are topics where this is true. I'd be most interested in rationality related, and not very directly gender related topics (since those are tricky to discuss productively).
