Thank you. As a psychiatrist, Scott ought to know better than to cite these things as gospel...
"the more progressive and gender-equal a country, the larger gender differences in personality ... become"
I suggest you read Lippa's papers and survey paper and draw your own conclusions. These inferences are drawn from very limited observations, and generalizing so far from the observational context is totally unconvincing.
What do Rhesus monkeys have to do with CS graduates?
The CAH studies I've been able to unearth are very underpowered. Maybe there are better ones, though. Also, CAH affects genitalia, which affects gender identity, which affects socialization. Not at all surprising that some CAH females would exhibit masculine characteristics, through socialization alone.
> why do they only affect CS and not other high status/high paying jobs (like being a doctor)
Outside SV and similar areas, CS has nowhere near the same status as medicine. How many TV shows can you list about software developers? How many about doctors?
