Male and female brains aren’t wired differently
New research, published in October in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, concluded that despite size discrepancy, there’s no functional difference between men’s and women’s brains. “Male” brains and “female” brains simply don’t exist. In fact, there’s significant overlap.
and the myth of binary biological sex and gender essentialism continues to come crumbling down
!!!
actually if you read the article (which you didn’t) they said they DID find differences between male and female brains.
not only that i see this article reemerge every few years only to be shut down when anyone tries to produce the same results. mostly because these articles are full of shit and anyone who believes them is fucking retarded and/or didn’t read the damn thing
even @micdotcom‘s idiotic summery of this article SAYS there is a difference which these “researchers” stated they ignored
i read the actual study you nutcase lmfao
did you read the other recent giant meta-analysis study that found that every single study on the subject had failed to correct for brain size and thus was incorrect in their conclusions?
they aren’t saying brains are all literally the same, if you think that then you didn’t even get the basic conclusions
the point is that all brains are different and the “difference” between brains of people assigned female or male on average is negligible, statistically insignificant, and easily caused by socialization and neuroplasticity
not to mention that when a huge amount of individual brains have more features associated with the “opposite” sex than the average would suggest, it calls the entire categorization system into question
this really isn’t that complicated, but i wouldn’t expect a biological essentialist like you to understand very simple statistical and neurological concepts
