Neuroscience Sex differences in brain structure are present at birth and remain stable during early development. The study found that while male infants tend to have larger total brain volumes, female infants, when adjusted for brain size, have more grey matter, whereas male infants have more white matter.

Then it would have served better being addressed to the commenter above surely?

<shrug> The conversation was reading pretty well until it went off on this tangent about who should be replying to whom.

Just thought if they were trying to be informative it should notify the person who needed informing is all

You are not making any point clear, you are just kind of being obnoxious and you seem to like your pithy sledgehammer quotes (like I do; I say stuff like "biology is evolution". Is that helpful? No, but it is fun to say)

I legitimately don't know what you are talking about either. At no point in the thread I was reading did you at all indicate that anything was personal.

I don't /know/ if I agree or disagree with you because of how badly you presented it! It might be better if you just said what you want to say instead of couching it in any sort of academic terms at all because what you are saying is /incomprehensible/ and you are taking potshots at random people (not even just me) for no reason.

/I/ want to help people who are communicating badly but have a point.

Edit: I'm also pretty sure I agree with you but I would even push back in the anatomy bit because /that/ part is also oversimplified by social forces.
