Men and women don't "have different brains". Humans have brain plasticity and brains develop in accordance to experience and environment. Blue-boy-brains/pink-girl-brains is part of the trans agenda.

What are you doing here if you "loathe feminism"?

Yes, men and women do have biologically different brains. There's a LOT of info about this online, please educate yourself. Humans are animals, and like other animals, we are born with certain instinctive behaviors.

I'm here because I don't buy into trans delusions. Also, I want to fight for women's rights, but I am not a feminist because there is no subset of feminism that fits with my worldview. It's unfortunate modern feminism can't be for all women, but that's what thought policing does to a movement.

Educate your own self.

EDIT: I didn't say there are no differences between men and women. If that were the case TWs wouldn't be such a problem, right? My point is that the pink brain/blue brain framework is a genderist myth.

From what I've read, the evidence for biologically different brains is ambiguous. I'm only going on Cordelia Fine's 'Delusions of Gender' and 'Testosterone Rex', I haven't read anything peer reviewed or anything. They are worth a look, if you're interested in that field

Where's u/thrwpllw, is she here yet?

She was the go-to person for brain studies on Reddit. I think she's a neuroscientist.

For me the question is what exactly the differences imply, or don't imply. Some women seem to believe that a biological difference would somehow mean women do not deserve to have equal rights and opportunities. Different doesn't mean inferior, even if that's what men have been telling us. Women are an essential, needed part of human society just as much as men are either way. There's no need to deny science in order to demand better treatment for us. There's no need to believe any theory about anything in order to believe women's rights are important. Women who claim to be feminist shouldn't try to police what other women believe. We're on the same side about the things that matter.

Yeah that's true. I just found it interesting that the science of our biological differences is ambiguous.
