Why did we go from brains to penises and vaginas though? Are the organs directly related to psychology? I thought we were post-Freud.

Because it's tough to argue that biology affects genitals but not the brain. Why is the brain exempt?

Nope. 1) Brain's are v plastic so sex differences may be influenced by dev 2) Gender is an expression of culture for which bio matters

So we agree that biology affects gender. Glad we settled that.

The question was whether or not culture is definitely the cause of many sex diffs.

There's at least three interpretation of what "Agree?" implies, so I can't reply unambiguously.

At category boundaries, we know people aren't good intuitive physicists or statiticians. Same probably goes for biology.
