Such a weird article. It starts off by saying >>Systematising and empathising are two key dimensions in defining the male and female brain ...not all men have the male type brain and not all women have the female type brain ...the central claim ...is only that more males than females have the male type brain.<<

Then leaps (astonishingly) to >>They will have to face the idea that we are different, men and women, and that legislation designed to negate those differences will be worse than useless.<<

The entire POINT of the fricking legislation, fer cryin' out loud, is that some females have male type brains and some males have female type brains, BUT bozos like your author just can't accept it. They want to pigeon hole people according to the shape of their genitalia, not according to the abilities of their minds.

Speaking of female surgeons, I wonder if your author has made any effort to study the tremendous institutional barriers raised against women who DARE to enter this traditionally male bastion.

Another factoid your author doesn't mention is that once women start moving into a profession, men move OUT. When was the last time you saw a male secretary? Used to be only men, now almost all women. Why? Because men don't want to do "women's work." Makes their dinguses fall off or something.

In the old Soviet Union, only women were doctors. Not sure if that extended to surgeons, as well.
