Are there no studies which support his claims with respect to traits?  If studies exist, then the science exists.  There may be a consensus or there might not be a consensus, but that does not mean that there is no science there which supports his position.

Look for a meta analysis (a study of studies) with regards to trait distribution,  they exist. Take a look and let me know what you will find (you might not like it).

Do you deny that women are [b]more likely to be diagnosed with neurosis of some kind and receive treatment[/b]?  Is that statement factually incorrect?

Do you deny that women are not socialized to promote certain traits and reduce certain traits?

Neither of those is evidence that women as a group have greater incidence of neuroticism--that evidence could also show that they are more likely to seek treatment for a mental health problem, or more likely to be diagnosed with a mental health problem instead of a physical problem ("it's all in your head.")
