According to 84 yr old male academic!

Warning - Do not read with a mouth full of tea and toast!

Seems a pretty accurate article to me. Of course it omits all the many similarities between the genders but hey ho, that wouldn't sell many books would it.

Ha ha what an idiot! So much of this has been discredited. It's a shame that people will read and trust it though Sad

Not sure much of it has been discredited but it certainly is guilty of alpha bias in that it over-exaggerates the differences.

(Discredited in the sense that meta-analysis shows significantly more similarities between genders than difference)

Oh jesus. I can't even...

oh, I agree with that Vashta. I just can't see the point in publishing the material - its not exactly new and whilst its not wrong, by only publishing the differences it does give a very distorted view of the genders. However, if he'd written a book saying how similar we are, would it sell and would the telegraph bother writing an article about it?

Very poor indeed. I showed my A level psychology class this article this morning to support my rant from last Friday on publishing bias.
