Interesting stuff. I wonder, though:
> 62. In Why Gender Matters, Dr. Sax explains that "anomalous males" -- boys who like to read, who don't enjoy competitive sports or rough-and-tumble play, and who don't have a lot of close male friends -- should be firmly disciplined, should spend as much time as possible with "normal males," and should be made to play competitive sports.

- emmett 19y agoLike his critics say - his politics come first, and then the evidence follows. Anyone who thinks averaging brain scans directly leads to information that can be used to set policy is fooling themselves.
