That surely is an interesting finding, especially if it can be confirmed.
Null hypothesis: females in general are more trusting and [consider themselves more] trustworthy. As humans we tend to project our own morality on to others, thus expecting people to be less likely to try and attack their stuff and so being less desirous of strong protection?
We're using alternate definitions: I'm using "my null hypothesis", as in my zero-numbered hypothesis that I would then attempt to test for. You're using, presumably "the Null Hypothesis" as a specific hypothesis suggesting that two populations have no causal relationship [IIRC]. My null-ordered labelling just confused my hypothesis with a particular default used in some statisitical arenas AFAICT.
idanoeman's use of "null hypothesis" is far more standard than yours. And if you use such a phrase in a highly non-standard way, you can't be surprised that people think it means something other than what you meant...
