Ugh. Oh, he went there. For the last and final time, there isn't a "male brain" or "female brain." Every credible neuroscientist has debunked this myth in the last few years. Yes, neuroplasticity changes your brain - ie. watch a lot of porn and you train your dopamine receptors to fire with sight. But that is nature that is changing your brain. Not nurture.

This whole male brain vs. female brain is just another way for dumbass men without any scientific background to trot out their theories of why men can't help being men. The male brain doesn't exist. Stick a female and male brain in an fMRI scan and no one can tell the difference unless you measure brain volume. This neurosexism needs to stop.
