Thanks Tom. There is much in Dick Swaab's "We are our brains" about the differences in gender-typical brains.

Thanks Mike. I will have a look. This series will be about more than just brain differences. I am excited about it and think it will be of good use to many.

Nice one. It’s very little know the sea of testosterone men swim in just after conception over time…

Very useful and informative. We are conditioned to thinking "it's a boy" or "it's a girl," not to wondering "what kind of boy will he be" or "what kind of girl will she be." We seem to expect everything to depend on environment. The studies you cite show that a lot is decided before birth. I will look at Swaab's work, recommended by Mike. Many thanks.

So true Allen. I would urge you to have a look at David Geary's book, "Male Female: The Evolution of Human Sex Differences." Geary is a scientist in the best way. He offers study after study and offers his ideas about issues but tells both sides and allows the reader to decide for themselves. I love this book. It has been a constant resource on these issues. Sadly, it ain't cheap. lol https://www.amazon.com/Male-Female-Evolution-Human-Differences/dp/143383264X
