Girls Vs. Boys: Brain Differences Might Explain Tech Behaviors

[GrandizerII]

Responding to OP:
Of course there are sex differences in ways of thinking and attitudes between men and women, but nothing in this article shows that the differences are due to sex-based biological differences from birth. We know social conditioning is a major brain changer from when children are very young.

I never claimed it proved that lol. In fact, I was more interested in reading about how video games and social media affect a child's brain.

Although, I think the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. I think sex determines these differences a lot more than people would like to admit, and I think societal influences affect the brain's development more than a lot of other people would like to admit.

I think people who try to paint any behavior (save for a few exceptions) as being solely nature or solely nurture are total morons.

The title of the thread is misleading then. Sure, brain differences mean differences in behavior and psychology, but that does not mean that the different ways girls and boys are socially conditioned doesn't contribute to brain differences. And it's not really clear if there are innate psychological differences between men and women that are firmly "set in stone". In fact, even with respect to differences in aggression levels, some recent studies have been suggesting that the differences might not be due to innate neurobiology differences between the sexes after all.
