Gender Thinking

Hi,

IO9.com has a lengthy and fascinating excerpt from Cordelia Fine's new book Delusions of Gender. A book where she reviews the popular literature about the differences between the brains of men and women and finds that what gets written doesn't tend to square up much with the studies they cite.

It seems relevant to the interests of some of my readers.

I am in fact reading it! (Albeit very slowly since I’ve had to spend my commute time working on other stuff lately.) Really really enjoying it. Well, that’s not quite the right phrase, since lots of the stuff in it is unpleasant, but you know what I mean. Really appreciating it, maybe. And she’s quite a good writer.
