Overgeneralization, I agree. But just as you can fairly say that men generally are taller than women (any disagreement there?) without denying that there are some very tall women and some very short men, you can, IMO (also at the risk of being attacked like CH) say that in general womens brains and mens brains work differerently in certain ways without denying that some women think "more like men" and some men "more like women." But brain science is finding some very definite hard wired differences. For example, women have more brain paths between their left and right sides of the brain than men do. That's hard science. On a bit softer science, but still pretty good science, men are more likely to find their way around town with a map-type image in their brain and women with place-type images. Men tend to be better at map reading skills than women. Etc. Of course, there are very good woman map readers and very bad men ones. But again, we don't get anywhere pretending that differences don't exist just because there are some exceptions. If men and women were truly equal in all areas, we wouldn't have separate events for them in the Olympics now, would we?
