There’s loads of research in this area, why don’t you research it yourself? Cordelia Fine and Prof Gina Rippon have published books and articles that discuss this in the kind of detail that’s needed to understand this. This is a good introhttp://sfonline.barnard.edu/neurogenderings/eight-things-you-need-to-know-about-sex-gender-brains-and-behavior-a-guide-for-academics-journalists-parents-gender-diversity-advocates-social-justice-warriors-tweeters-facebookers-and-ever/ …

This discussion is great-- people have mostly been engaging in good faith and with minimal insults. Would like to see substantive responses to
@RealYeyoZa 's piece, which points out some real problems with Fine's position.1 reply 1 retweet 14 likes -

Amazingly, there are corners of Twitter where people do engage in good faith. This paragraph from the Quillette piece stood out for me. (I'm much more Ev Psych than Rad Fem, FWIW.)pic.twitter.com/gnXMBV9FJV

That article was very unfortunate in the same way as all other articles by men who have superficial look at “feminism” and carry on to misrepresent feminist position. Blank slatism is just about as rare as hen’s teeth in feminism. Also liberal feminism is faux feminism.

Apart from the obvious physical (non-brain) differences, are there any (average!) differences you would point to between typical males and females?

Most robust evidence is for heterosexuality (men are attracted to women, women to men) and behaviours around reproduction. Also, it is possible to fairly accurately predict a sex of a person based on number of male vs female typical traits 1.

But homosexual orientation is strongly correlated with gender atypical interests and play preferences starting already in early toddlerhood. Longitudinal studies show this. You can't argue one is innate but not the other.

And look at the effect sizes, we're not talking small differences here

But homosexuality is not innate. Entire cultures lack even a concept for homosexuality. In others, homosexuality is omnipresent and deeply embedded into the culture. The idea that sexuality is an expression of one's innate being and not shaped by the culture is just unfounded.
