Are there any innate differences between men and women?

I am talking about psychology, hormone influence, brain ''wiring'' and all that jazz... I don't believe there are and the rest is just pseudoscience .

The thing is, if I am female, is there anything that you can say for absolutely definite about my brain without doing scans and tests?

You might be able to tell me that it is more or less likely that x,y,z is the case. But you can't make any statements for certain about any individual's brain without actually investigating.

*pre optic area

Or if you want something more scientific google "the sexually dimorphic nucleus of the pre optic are sdn-poa" tends to be larger in males. Research has in the past shown anomalies in the brains of homosexual men interestingly.

I suspect im falling for a troll but no it is not psuedo science. Male and female brains are very different. The differences are subtle but there are morphological and hormonal differences. Also if you fibd the science too baffling I can start simple.

A man has a penis. A woman has a vagina. Men tend to be hairier (someone needs to relay this difference to my chin!) Men are generally stronger than women although fitness levels probably equal. Bal bla blaty bla

"Petula, of course it's all socialization, I never said it wasn't. Only an idiot would think that completely different hormones or millions of years of sexual dimorphism would make a difference." (With ref to the innateness of risk taking, a psychological trait) Annie11111, 2014.

Annie do stop being so goady with all these threads pretending to say the opposite of what you mean.

It's so tiring.
