Notes -
I dont actually think an adult with reasoned convictions can actually be swayed all that much in either direction.
The kicker is that most adults dont have reasoned convictions. They just say the correct combinations of words to fit in and be high status among their group. In which case yes, you will be able to sway them.
This gets misattributed to a female trait because females in general tend to have less political convictions. So the swaying is usually done by the male most of the time.
I dont know if there is a term for inferences of this category where the statistics does back up what you say but the mechanism is entirely different. Particularly of this variety.
Nevetheless Im sure females being more agreeable also has something to do with it.
