[quote=Anonymous]13:17 here (posting at the gate on my phone so cut me some slack). I appreciate your taking the time to read the NIMH study. As I understand your blogger's point, Sax overstates the sex-based differences found in the study. Fair enough. I am in no way a scientist, just reasonably literate. Poking holes in anyone's science is easy to do. However, if the logical leap you are suggesting is "Sax overstated the differentials in the NIMH study, therefore male and female brains are exactly alike", I do not think your blogger or the NIMH team would agree. Sax explored a number of theories for why boys have done poorly academically in comparison to girls over the past 30 years. He was looking for answers, one of which was that there are inherent biological differences. I think the NIMH study and, frankly, common sense, support this. The fact that Sax assigns more significance to the NIMH study than your blogger doesn't invalidate his theories for me. [/quote]
