A new study finds that sex and environment, not just age, strongly influence hearing sensitivity in diverse human populations.

Not how evolution works, and not how oppression works either.
One might guess men would have better hearing as they were often the hunters in our evolutionary history. But maybe women who would take care of children and the camp needed to be more aware of incoming dangers, for which good hearing would be an advantage.
As you’ve spotted, good hearing is advantageous to everyone.
However the men hunting/women gathering stereotype is increasingly regarded as wrong or at least simplistic.

That’s a you problem. As it turns out, science isn’t based on glances and vibes.
It’s plainly evident that taking any person with high testosterone and getting them to train at a physical activity will almost always result in better performance than training a person in the same way with lower testosterone.
The papers talk about the evidence based on ordinary, presumably nonspecialised individuals, not cherry-picking a few thousand people who have trained in such a way that testosterone can make its difference over time.

Ooh, you’re fun at parties, no doubt
Do you usually interact with people at parties the way you interact with people in the comments section of a link aggregator?
You assume I interact with people at parties?
