i guess it's my fault for continuing to read new york times features like this one. i don't understand why the times is out to prove that woman are inherently different than men. they always take these cockeyed studies and then draw whatever conclusions they want from them. oh, so gender differences are more pronounced in "civilized" countries than in "hunter-gatherer societies"? must be "the ancient internal differences being revived." that's the kind of conclusion that a ten year old would draw. it couldn't be that gender expectations actually increase more drastically in societies where there is technically more "freedom," so that people's behavior can still be kept in control. or that the stupid questions were biased, which they always are. uh, i guess woman should go back to the kitchen because then we'll be closer to men. seriously, why do they choose these quack doctors? i'm sure they could pick other researchers who have purposes besides belittling women. gaah.

Correction
A previous version of this article included an incorrect affiliation for Robert Deaner. He is a psychologist at Grand Valley State University in Michigan, not Colgate University.
