But if we know nothing of the cause, how can beliefs on that basis be taken as offensive?
Snips and snails and puppy dog tails notwithstanding.

There is no reason to attribute the differences to neurotypology— and there is a long history of ‘scientists’ looking to differences in neurotypology to justify sexism (and racism).And all attempts to trace the ‘differences’ to brain structure alone have failed.

In the absence of complete certainty about where the differences come from, it IS certain that unfounded claims that “men and women’s brains are different” is both false and sexist.
