Hi Ziggy, I hope I am not butting in

here because maybe I have interprepeted

your post wrong, but if you found the

book, Men are from Mars and Women are

from Venus, really irritating, you might

like this new book that has just come

out debunking much of these myths. Below

is a review, and a link, and a link to

newspaper article.

Description

Female and male brains are

different, thanks to hormones

coursing through the brain before

birth. That's taught as fact in

psychology textbooks, academic

journals, and bestselling books. And

these hardwired differences explain

everything from sexual orientation

to gender identity, to why there

aren't more women physicists or more

stay-at-home dads.

In this compelling book,

Jordan-Young takes on the

evidence that sex differences are

hardwired into the brain. Analyzing

virtually all published research

that supports the claims of "human

brain organization theory,"

Jordan-Young reveals how often these

studies fail the standards of

science. Even if careful researchers

point out the limits of their own

studies, other researchers and

journalists can easily ignore them

because brain organization theory

just sounds so right. But if a

series of methodological weaknesses,

questionable assumptions,

inconsistent definitions, and

enormous gaps between ambiguous

findings and grand conclusions have

accumulated through the years, then

science isn't scientific at all.

Elegantly written, this

book argues passionately that the

analysis of gender differences

deserves far more rigorous,

biologically sophisticated science.

"The evidence for hormonal sex

differentiation of the human brain

better resembles a hodge-podge pile

than a solid structure…Once we have

cleared the rubble, we can begin to

build newer, more scientific stories

about human development."

surprised you don't know. We can

actually think for ourselves, believe it

or not.
