Popular Science begs for scientists to stop doing sex-related science:
In the past decade, several thousand papers have been published on sex differences in the human brain. Many physical differences are genuine, but oftentimes not meaningful. Take for example, an easily measurable characteristic: size. One study recorded men’s brain volumes at 1,053 to 1,499 cubic centimeters and women’s at 975 to 1,398. The overlap means you couldn’t tell the sex of a random brain from its size.The blank-slaters are getting increasingly desperate. Now they're to the point of calling for a moratorium on sex-based neuroscience. But consider the deceit on which they're forced to rely.
In addition, many supposed psychological differences between the sexes are as illusory as the physical ones. In 2005, Janet Hyde, a researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, analyzed data from studies of apparent sex differences in traits such as aggression, social ability, math, and moral reasoning. Nearly four fifths of the traits showed only a minor or negligible difference between men and women.
With regards to brain size, the overlap means that any brain from 1,499 cc to 1,398 is necessarily male and any brain from 1,053 to 975 is necessarily female. So, while we aren't told how the distribution percentages fall, obviously one can tell the sex of 34 percent of the total range.
And if "nearly four-fifths of the traits" showed only minor or negligible differences, that means at least 21 percent of them showed significant differences. Anyone who understands that even a tiny delta can have consequences will understand that far from indicating the irrelevance of sex differences in the brain, this tends to indicate a massive difference in fundamental capabilities.
This is further proof that feminism and equalitarianism are intrinsically anti-science. Their true believers have no choice but to be anti-science, because science is methodically destroying the foundations of their ideologies.
