Girls Vs. Boys: Brain Differences Might Explain Tech Behaviors

[GrandizerII]

It's more statistics than science in my opinion, and statistics are the death of the individual. In terms of healthcare (which I know nothing about) I think any added benefit provided by studying sex differences emerges as a result of moving one step closer to individual differences.

Well, it's statistics found through scientific methods of discovery.

John's right. Statistics say something about groups, if they say anything at all. They say nothing about individuals.

Also, it's important to note the differences between individuals within the same sex group, something that is just as important as differences between the two sex groups.

And differences between the sexes do not mean they are innate. Neuroplasticity strongly suggests that whatever differences there may be at the start between the two brain-sexes is mostly irrelevant since the brain is very very malleable to environmental conditioning, especially at a young age.

Listen, the science on this subject is well established and not really up for debate so far as I'm concerned.

Not really. If by "inherent" you mean "from birth" and "fixed in stone", that is up for debate and is probably wrong and/or a legacy of traditional sexist thinking (neurosexism).
