first grka'ed, then pcstel'ed...now officially Maurice'd... >>>I'm not sure that I've completely solved the issue - a few graphs would help. But I notice that those with statistically small brains didn't answer the vital question of the best time for growing human brains to form neuron connections to learn languages such as mathematics, talking or reading. My hypothesis was that women aren't so [statistically and with equal IQs] good at mathematics because their brain has fully grown before they get to see any of it. <<< it is not that the jury is till out on this, but that they keep coming back with different finds...creating exacting correlations of neural development with motor, sensory and cognizant skills has proved to be somewhat elusive...not only between the sexes but within the same sex as well...nature vs nurture has been, and is still, a topic of never ending debate, study and ever changing "statistical" finds - not only among and between sexes, but also the races, nationalities, economic & social groups and etc...

I'm not sure that I've completely solved the issue - a few graphs would help. what about the festival spirit of overeating and excess? SNOWMEN 'REINFORCE GENDER STEREOTYPES', SAYS DOCTOR 23:29 Wednesday 20 December 2000 Snowmen on Christmas cards reinforce traditional gender stereotypes by reflecting men in prominent, public roles and women in private, domestic situations, according to new research. Art historian Dr Tricia Cusack believes the festive figures represent a return to a more conservative, patriarchal view of society than exists today. The Birmingham University academic, who studies cultural meanings in visual imagery, was prompted to research the topic after shopping for Christmas cards. "Snowmen in representations on cards were becoming more and more common and a kind of icon up there with Father Christmas, robins and holly. It's become even more marked in the last few years," she said. "I wanted to know why they should be so popular." In the research, which has been published by cultural history periodical New Formations, Dr Cusack also describes snowmen as reflecting the festival spirit of overeating and excess dating back to Medieval times and beyond. In promotional literature from the university, she writes: "In both the UK and US, Christmas has been gendered as woman's realm in its emphasis on children and family. "The snowman's location in the semi-public space of garden or field reinforces a spatial-social system marking women's sphere as the domestic-private and the men's as the commercial-public." She will discuss her work on BBC Radio 4 on New Year's Day at 6.15pm. © Ananova lineone.net
