Regardless of your thoughts on this subject, Isn't discounting size a pretty big example of discounting sample data that does not support the conclusion?

And yet, I read a study where they codified how to tell if a brain was male or female. first time they tried, they got a better than 70% accuracy. After reviewing and updating their method, they taught this to other scientist who tried to identify the brain whether it was male or female, and were able to tell the sex of the person with 90+% accuracy.

It was the first of its kind and hasn't been repeated because its "damaging"

First clue is size. Male brains are bigger on average. That's cold hard fact. Try putting on your girlfriend's/wife's hat. Chances are it's too small.

Edit: also bigger/denser bones. But my point still stands. My hat falls down under its own weight to my GF's eye level.

Once you discard all the differences, an elephant and the moon are exactly the same.

Look, all I am saying is that you have never seen the moon and an elephant in the same picture, think about that.

Totally the same, once you only compare men and women of the same cranial volume and ignore all the differences in host physiology and chemistry. Sounds totally legit.

Very few differences in structure

Male brains are significantly more dense in axons and dendrites (neurons). It's not close.

That's correct. Now check out physics, I mean a real scientific effort to master physics.

Guess what you find out?

"representing a moving physical object with a single point is not mathematically accurate, but suits our purposes"

How do you build big lies? with lots of little lies. and winks and nods.

Tell me what electricity is. No... I didnt ask how it worked or what its properties are. Tell me about what it is, how it came to be and from whence it is derived. Spoiler alert: you cant. No one actually knows these things. We pretend .... a lot.

So are the biochemical and hormonal differences the "problematic" differences affecting the brain?
