: Any article postulating notable biological differences between the male and
: female brains, especially invoking one of the evolutionary just-so stories
: that have rendered the once-promising field of evopsych a joke, is pretty
: much guaranteed to be of low quality.

: Nearly every popularly accepted belief about absolute gender differences in
: neurobiology is incorrect, whether it's the idea that female brains are
: more interconnected or the idea that women are better multitaskers.
