Sometimes testosterone gets converted to estrogen and masculinizes the brain that way. So don't do that! That is not how estrogen works.

I'm sorry but 300 people is just NOT a small study. Do you have any idea what the n's are usually like in medical research/neuroscience? Sometimes I have groups of 4 mice. FOUR. And you can factor in gender when analyzing the data. It would only confuse things if you analyzed boys and girls WITHOUT using gender as a…

It's reasonable to not care since there is not and will be no "cure" for autism in the way we understand cures. But it's still important to understand what causes it.

Uhh you can use gender as a factor in an ANOVA.

Baron-Cohen has been working on this for many years, so this isn't really news.

I'm not sure I agree. I don't see how a place of learning needs to have any kind of dress code. I teach at a university, and I've seen some pretty risqué outfits being worn to class, along with some ridiculous ones. I've also seen some very conservative outfits worn by some of our muslim students. Absolutely none of…

Well that was stupid.

Not sure how I feel about your screen name...

Whether it's due to the heat or not, whether it's restrictive or not, the real point is that it doesn't matter what these girls wear and whether you can get a glimpse of their bras through their shirts. If you don't want to expose your bra straps, fine - don't! But again, temperature aside, if you don't like seeing…

THANK you for this.

I kinda like it. I don't see anything wrong with it.

Maybe we should start thinking about changing society then and trying to create a world that isn't so fucking rule-filled and oppressive. And work is just plain different from school, sorry.

We aren't giving enough structure to people these days? Wtf? What a load of crap. We're giving people way TOO much structure. How is that not a super-conservative thing to say? First of all, this sounds like some classist snobbery going on. Second of all, I don't want my child to turn out to be a mindless fucking…

I mean, you can have that preference, but I don't see the need to enforce it on everyone else around you though, right?

Well, they ARE animals, literally. But otherwise I 100% agree.

Who even cares if the heat is their motivation, in the end? The real point is, why do you care what these girls wear? How does it affect you? Why are you such a busybody? Maybe if you don't like the way your students dress, avert your eyes and keep your opinions to yourself.

Ohhhh. I don't understand the need for dress codes in the first place, tbh.

I think some people actually think the brain does shut down while having sex :\

What? Sex is a motivated behaviour. Really, it's THE motivated behaviour.

WHO CARES if they're wearing tube tops?!?!??!
