In this article by Lise Eliot, she discusses the myth that men and women have different brains and the publication "The Gendered Brain" by cognitive neuroscientist Gina Rippon.
Rippon is a leading voice against the bad neuroscience of sex differences. The book debunks the concept of a gendered brain. She analyses numerous studies, looks at the history of bias and the cultural impact of a gendered world, revealing that the brain is no more gendered than the liver or kidneys or heart.
Most of us remain strapped in the “biosocial straitjackets” that divert a basically unisex brain down one culturally gendered pathway or another.
