    To be clear, you’re saying that asian women typically having smaller hands is dubious? I have to double-check because I’m astonished anyone doubts this.

      From the article :

      For one thing, it’s not even clear that the claim that Chinese women have small fingers is even true. Research on global hand size is lacking, but one study found that the average Chinese person has a hand size approximately equal to that of the average German. An analysis of hand size around the world, though it didn’t include China, found that even the largest average differences in women’s hand size between countries was negligible.
