[QUOTE=AndrewBlack]The counter question that I would ask is, do you, or anyone else, think that reading gender specific magazines or 'scientific' papers that pupport gender differences actually modifies peoples behaviour?QUOTE]

Of course the paper is a generalisation. It doesn't purport to be anything else. It is theorising on biological imperatives. Its rather like saying men are taller than women. We all know not all men are taller than all women but we know what is meant by it. However to say there is no biological imperative behind human behaviour is a nonsense. We are all biological creatures. It's a talking point, thats all. But yes, experience and socialisation are a very important part of the equation.
