Thus, females tend toexpress more egalitarian and non-hierarchical ideologies. Herzog, Betchart, and Pittman [20]proposed theoretical reasons for gender differences that included: (i) the socioculturalperspective, that women are socialized to care and nurture, at the same time as boys areencouraged to be less emotional and more utilitarian; and (ii) that femininity leads to a morenurturance-expressive dimension of personality that is more highly related to concern for animalwelfare, even as masculinity relates to less sensitivity to the ethical treatment of other creatures.Gender is known to
