Thank you Veronika. An intelligent poster with a great sense of
humour, you should post more often!

In the 90s an interesting book was published on the subject,
called BrainSex. (by Anne Moir and David Jessel)

It went into the details of how the foetus develops, how
the male foetus is flooded with testosterone and how the interruptions
to these flows can affect male behaviour later in life.

All really interesting stuff really, ie. what Science new at
the time and how much effort was going into not discussing this
kind of basic biology, by those with a barrow to push. I think
that is a great shame.

I think we would be far better off if we acknowledged our differences
and do what we have a natural aptitude for. That does not mean
that one is inferior to the other, simply different.

Once again, this is about generalisations, each case is however
a bit different.

Fact is that hormones affect behaviour and to deny that is to deny
basic biology
