:) Thanks for the suggestion. I have been there and done that. I know all of that stuff is covered, as I said, most of these are rhetorical- either in the unanswerable sense, or in the -I know the answers commonly given but am thinking about them myself anyway. I think I moved on anyway, I'll be pondering something else now. By the by- I have to do a research paper for my psych of women class and am considering doing something relating to evolutionary psychology- such as how women are supposed to be evolutionarily better at multitasking, etc. That general sort of thing- topic to be refined. Would you happen to know if there are a fair amount of peer reviewed journal articles out there to use as sources?
There is definitely peer-reviewed research out there about the evolutionary psychology of women.
Your first step should be to go check out the book "A mind of her own: the evolutionary psychology of women" by Campbell. It's a textbook that we used when I was a TA for "Sex and Evolution." It's a pretty decent book and might help you narrow down what you want to research.
I know there have been a few papers out there about multitasking and such, but I don't have them off the top of my head as it's not my research area. I can tell you that relationships, mate choice, parental care, aggression, and jealousy seem to be the most common things studied as they relate to women.
(As an aside, it would be really interesting to study the changes that occur during ftm or mtf transitioning. There have been very few studies on that unfortunately though.)
