Unfortunately the Discover archives don't seem to be working but you should educate yourself on the limits of brain science and show more intellectual humility.
The author, a neuroscientst writes "More generally, the controversy over human sex differences is a vast one, with a huge amount of evidence to consider, and it isn't going to be settled by one neuroimaging study, or even a hundred."
You seem like the type of person who makes up their mind after one study, as long as it fits your biases regarding gender. You would be well service by talking less and realizing much of the world is beyond your understanding as a human with limited information and (likely) a limited understanding of brain science.
you have to cite other studies if you want to discredit the ones linked.
otherwise, you are asking me to just take your word for it. i have the word of hundreds of women in my family and friends circle..not to mention my own personal lived experience as a woman..to attest that female hormones act differently and that brain plasticity both ways occurs with trauma and subsequently retraining. i am not bringing up testimonials second hand or my lived experience nor political correctness. i am bringing up scientific studies. what are you bringing to the table?
you havent offered anything substantial or credible other than call Nature* Neuroscience 'junk science' and look up a skeptic blogger who isnt even saying anything about the subject at hand. and in the link he provided, he is washing his hands off a Daily Mail article about women and food.
[..]This appeared in the Daily Mail a while back. This headline was based on a neuroimaging experiment, which, predictably, didn't prove anything of the kind. Yawn. I've written about this kind of thing before, and no doubt I will do again. But why do I do it? What's the harm in this kind of thing?
A cynic might say that this kind of thing is harmless fun - or at any rate, harmless. No-one really cares about articles like this, and no-one takes them seriously. No-one's going to read this article and start to think that all women are impulsive and gluttonous - at least not unless they were a sexist pig to begin with.[..]
if 'neuroskeptic' is going to disown Nature Neuroscience like he is doing with a Daily Mail article, then we certainly dont have anything to discuss here anymore.
I'm not convinced you understand the studies you are citing but let's posit you do understand them. If a study came out tomorrow that you felt contradicted what you just cited, you would retract it? And therefore it would be obvious what you wrote here today was false?
Maybe, again, you should show a little humility instead of spreading stereotypes as if they are objective facts.
This post might be a good place to start:
