You keep saying "more to come" and then never seem to actually come back with the goods. Perhaps because you can never find anything substantive that actually supports your "everyone knows" positions? There is no reputable science that indicates that there are inherent, hard-wired differences between male and female brains. Brains are highly plastic, and change in relation to what they are exposed to and fed, but that doesn't mean that the things you've been socialized to are innate or universal. Otherwise there would be no male social workers and no female physicists. Duh...
It feels good and affirming to take your identity in part from "I'm not like them" but it's artificial. Grow up!
Edit: Dr. Eliot and her collaborators — fourth-year Chicago Medical School students Adnan Ahmed, Hiba Khan and Julie Patel — conducted a meta-synthesis of three decades of research, assimilating hundreds of the largest and most highly-cited brain imaging studies addressing 13 distinct measures of alleged sex difference. For nearly every measure, they found almost no differences that were widely reproduced across studies, even those involving thousands of participants. For example, the volume or thickness of specific regions in the cerebral cortex is often reported to differ between men and women. However, the meta-synthesis shows that the regions identified differ enormously between studies.
Male-female brain differences are also poorly replicated between diverse populations, such as Chinese versus American, meaning there is no universal marker that distinguishes men and women’s brains across the human species.
“The handful of features that do differ most reliably are quite small in magnitude,” Dr. Eliot said. “The volume of the amygdala, an olive-sized part of the temporal lobe that is important for social-emotional behaviors, is a mere 1% larger in men across studies.”
The study also rebuts a longstanding view that men’s brains are more lateralized, meaning each hemisphere acts independently, whereas women’s two hemispheres are said to be better connected and to operate more in sync with each other. Such a difference could make males more vulnerable to disability following brain injury such as stroke. Here again, the consensus of many studies shows that the difference is extremely small, accounting for even less than 1% of the range of left-right connectivity across the population. This finding does agree with large datasets that have found no gender difference in aphasia, or the loss of language, following a stroke in the left hemisphere, contrary to long belief.
