This gender essentialist bullshit is demonstrably false. No. We do not, at this point, understand brain development well enough to prove or disprove sex essentialism / sex culturalism. The article says it: "Cause-and-effect is tough to tease apart". What it should have said is "Cause-and-effect are impossible to tease apart with 2015 technology". That is the only credible position to hold in 2015. What we do know is that there are observable biological differences between men and women, even at the level of the individual cell. To what extent they influence higher cognitive functions and their relationships to environmental stimuli is not clear. what about Ada Lovelace, Margaret Hamilton, and Grace Hopper? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism
