No shirt, Shitlock!
Key points
A new study from Stanford shows remarkable differences between female and male brains.
The researchers found no overlap between male and female, and rejected the idea of a "continuum."
Male-pattern brain connectivity predicted male cognitive function but not female cognitive function.
Female-pattern brain connectivity predicted female cognitive function but not male cognitive function.
Are male brains really that different from female brains? Does it matter? Why should anybody care?
More than 100 years ago, a German neurologist named Paul Julius Möbius published a book titled Über den physiologischen Schwachsinn des Weibes, “Regarding the physiological weakmindedness of women.” Möbius noted that women's brains are smaller than the brains of men, even after adjusting for differences in height. He concluded that women are “physiologically weak-minded.” In making that claim, Möbius was continuing a tradition in Western thought that we can trace back to Aristotle, namely: women and men are different. That means men are better. ...
