The basic shape of the curves will be the same because of the mathematical process of creating the curve but the standard deviations will differ and the scales.

EXACTLY.

And as I stated earlier, it is possible that what is a blip on one curve is a spike on the other (i.e. a vanishingly small behavior for one sex may be practiced by an overwhelming majority of the other, so unless you are denying that possibility, how are you plotting it?)

As far as I can tell, your mental model inappropriately varies the rise and run for one curve as opposed to the other in order to make them functionally identical.

What you are being berated for is avoiding demonstrating the validity of your "oversimplification and error" assertion. That you've attempted to camouflage what is assumption and speculation on your part with inadequate models and supercilious pedantry is icing on the cake.

Bless your heart. Have a great day.

blip on one curve is a spike

Non Sequitur, the rise over the run is related to slope. Normal curves are evaluated based on the area under the curve.

So we are to ignore your conflating multifactorial human nature with human nature as an indefinable something that is a discrete unit that can be measured?
