        Steve, It has long been OK to violate taboo of acknowledging sex difference--as long as the difference shows female superiority. @sapinker

        .@sapinker Always okay to find sex differences if women can be portrayed as superior.

        @sapinker And is sex really the best way to predict risk taking or can we use a more direct measure.

        @sapinker #NYTimes is terrible about reporting effect sizes. 21% more cards? We need to know how big the difference is.

        @sapinker Where is the evidence of a sex difference, a fundamental biological difference? Learned gender difference maybe, not sex.
