International Gallup poll on the role of men and women in society

The results of a 22-nation survey suggest that the association between certain personality traits and gender is strong. Most survey respondents report that women are more emotional, more affectionate, and less impatient than men. Men are widely seen as more brave and more aggressive than women. In several nations, including Germany, the US, the UK, and Canada, large majorities of survey respondents believe that social conditions in their countries favor men over women.
