So, if I turned up at your lodge dressed like Courtney Love, you'd be cool with it? ;D Send a photo of yourself dressed as her and I'll decide.

In Okinawa ... wash self in public bath with nude lady quite proper, Picture of nude lady in private home quite improper. In America ... statue of nude lady in park win prize; But nude lady in flesh in park win penalty. Conclusion? Pornography question of geography.

Moreover, it seems there is a tendency which goes beyond objective scientific interest to look for (and find) differences between male and female brains. We might draw an analogy with looking for differences in the brain structures of people who are fat or slim, tall or short, rich or poor, etc. While I might suspect biases underlying such studies, I would not be surprised to find social conditioning giving rise to some general neuro-structural differences in such cases.

Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own specified world to bring them up in and I'll guarantee to take any one at random and train him to become any type of specialist I might select – doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant-chief and, yes, even beggar-man and thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocat- ions, and race of his ancestors. I am going beyond my facts and I admit it, but so have the advocates of the contrary and they have been doing it for many thousands of years
John B. Watson (Born this day 1879)

As we are considering the possibility of genetic differences in behaviour and as, at least as yet, our understanding of gene function is too imprecise to link specific genes to specific behaviours (a controversial possibility), perhaps in the study of sex differences it may suffice for now to consider sex chromosomes. I’ll begin by stating that this is outside my field — However, my understanding is as follows: Usually women and men have XX and XY chromosomes respectively (total 46) but there are a number of possible abnormalities. Keeping the subject fairly basic, we might consider cases in which an extra chromosome is present (total 47) resulting in: XXX (women), XXY (men) and XYY (men). All three of these trisomies generally present with some intellectual impairment and some physical traits, mostly added height and a degree of abnormal breast development, etc. in XXY men. Initial consideration in the late 1960’s led men with an extra Y chromosome (XYY) being labeled “super males,” attributing behavioural problems to the disorder, such that it was even used as a mitigating defense in court proceedings. This seemed to suggest that their behaviour was that typical of men, writ large, and might simplistically support the notion of innate (genetic) behavioural, sex differences. However subsequent studies have eliminated the sample bias of the initial studies, have allowed for other variables and have shown there to be no overall behavioural differences. This is also the case with XXX women and XXY men.
