Seems like another deceptive statistical study that probably doesn't even control for brain size. It also seems to have discovered that women probably mix up their logic and "intuitive modes", as we always thought.
And why would they further show statistics by race rather than by brain size? Brain sizes affect the density of connections and proportions of white matter to grey matter, so comparing small-brained women and men to large-brained women and men would seem like an obvious thing to do if you have the data [edit: but this is obviously me just desperately looking for a control.]
Instead, I suspect they were fishing to find out some headline-grabbing result, hoping that (for example) black women were more masculine than white women, or Asian men were more feminine than white men.

That’s quite a bomb to throw with zero evidence. Like, why does your mind even jump to that?
