Günther Paradox

The Güther Paradox describes the following situation:

You know your neighbour Günther for a couple of years now. He's pretty chill and you meet him often. you never had any problems with each other. One day you come home from work and as you step out of your car you see Günther shitting in your Mailbox. He's staring at you but doesn't seem to care, that you're watching him. What do you do?
This Paradox is used in modern Psychology to analyze the difference between the reactions of women and men.
"Did you know, that most men would shit in Günther's Mailbox while aggressively staring at him?"

"I mean I would shit in his Mailbox as well, but people would stare at him?"
"Yeah, Kind of crazy how weird the answers to the Günther paradox are."
