P.S. You accuse me of being biased, but you have this stereotype you keep trying to ascribe to me that doesn't fit, but you just keep at it... For instance, you assumed I'm a liberal. I'm actually registered as a Republican and identify Libertarian on most issues. That's why I recommended that you actually take a few moments to get to know me before you hate me and lash out at me based on qualities you ascribed to me in the first place.
I never made any prescriptive statement about what women ought to do.

Wow, where did that come from. Read my post again, then read what it was replying to. Then do the whole thing again and see whether any of my post had anything at all to do with what you say women should do

And you are biased. All women are biased, whether republican, liberal or liberterian. Whether they live in the west or in a traditional society. The only difference is the degree of bias, which issues their bias affects the most, and how the bias is expressed.

And P.S. You seem to be biased toward the fact that abuse is a one way relationship going from men to women.

Again, there is no way to measure what you claim is measurable. You can create tests but the criteria and results are judged by someone else.

Or you just don't understand what I'm explaining. I even gave you a sample study.

This is science... You wouldn't use a subjective case.

Who decides what the rational or optimal decisions are? What's right for one person may not be for another.

Eh?
Logic, whether something is optimal, etc. are not ambiguous things. We know the rational or optimal decision, then we can observe what people actually do. If they don't match, then people are not optimal decision makers.

Compared to what scale?

Here, check out the Wason 4-card task for a simple example of the confirmation bias (i.e. we tend not to seek information rationally).

Of course you can measure it. There's tons of research on how people make decisions about a wide variety of things and we find that people aren't always optimal or rational.

You can't measure something that isn't rational but you can learn to pick up on patterns of irrationality.

"reading" psychological disorder? That sounds like it would be a super-accurate and objective measurement.

Also, no... I didn't say people are always rational. Sadly, we're often not, although we should always strive to be.

Oh, yes, of course, someone in western academia would be brave enough to suggest anything that would imply women shouldn't have sex before marriage.
