-- -- I always trip at article, are they going to explain this or we have to learn it from elsewhere , or its fault in the system and we just gotto memorize the fix answer ?
Ladydessy nailed it. All of your interpretations could be correct depending on the situation or context. I wish DL would add context "clues." This one might be. "We are directing our add campaign at males."

Still different tho. Crows and Blue Birds are both birds but they are still different. (Not hate intended
What are you even saying.. They are different species. Men and women have some physical differences, I agree. But no one should be treated differently for being different. Hope everyone understands...........
why isn't it 남자들와여자들는 if the answer is supposed to be men and women?
Because Koreans don't really differ btw the Singular and Plural form... Same words r used for bith the forms

Depending on context the particle 는 can indicate a general statement. In that case you don't have to make the subjects plural. So while this sentence could be translated "the man and the woman are different" it can also be interpreted as "men and women are different" without the need of using 들
How to say Men and Women run in this politeness level?
남자와 여자는 달려요?
or 남자와 여자는 달리어요?
or 남자와 여자는 달려?

The first and second options would both be correct but the first one is more commonly used I think since koreans like to make things short whenever possible. The third option would be an informal way of saying it, only use it with close friends and family
men is a plural form of man right? Then why does the translation say men? i assume it should -들 to become plural?
Why is "women are different from men" wrong when a previous question translated "개는 고양이와 달라요" as "dogs are different from cats"?

That would translate to 여자는 남자와 달라요. Making women the subject of the sentence. (In this case the particle 와 would mean "from" as in different from men)
But in this case it says 남자와 여자는 meaning that men and women are both the subject. And 와 means "and".
Yeah but there are some people who actually don't think so and it drives me up a wall
It's supposed to be man and woman are different cause it's 남자 and 여자 and its not 남자들and 여자들
