Save for the plumbing downstairs, men and women are exactly the same; any differences in interests or abilities are merely constructed by society and have nothing to do with how we are hard-wired. This is what we've been told ad nauseam by third-wave feminists.

This is all nonsense, of course. And anyone being honest, even those hard-line feminists, understands this, regardless of how much they might protest publicly.

Buttressing what we already know intrinsically and via basic observation, a science journal called "Brain Structure and Function" recently published findings from a study that showed sex differences in the anatomy of the brain present in just one-month-old babies.

(By the way, if someone can explain to me how society "constructed" such differences in these infants' brains, I'd be all ears.)

"Using high-resolution structural MRI, we measured subcortical gray and white matter brain volumes in a cohort (N = 143) of 1-month infants and examined characteristics of these volumetric measures throughout this early period of neurodevelopment," reads the study's abstract. "We show that brain volumes undergo age-related changes during the first month of life, with the corresponding patterns of regional asymmetry and sexual dimorphism. Specifically, males have larger total brain volume and volumes differ by sex in regionally specific brain regions, after correcting for total brain volume."

The study also states that their findings suggest such brain differences are "present at birth."

"Our results complement a growing body of work investigating the earliest neurobiological changes associated with development and suggest that asymmetry and sexual dimorphism are present at birth," says the abstract.


Still, the Left will continue to conflate equality with sameness and put women at a disadvantage by advocating for nonsensical things like transgender "women" competing against biological women in sports.

The Party of Science, ladies, gentleman, and third-gender options.

I'm not sure anyone here has ever considered sex a construct. I think everyone understands the biological difference in sexes. It's often just deemed sexist to recognize the difference.

Now I have heard race called a construct and gender; but not sex

Shades of Broca . . . I think we have another melange of misconstruction and right wing triggers.  LOL we all "know" what third wave feminists have been telling us once the Dailywire tells us what they've been telling us.

The source study is free of all the political claptrap about "the left." Like most such research, it strives to fill a gap in the larger body of ongoing research into brain development. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00429-017-1600-2

Yea, sex isn't a social construct, gender is. In fact, those who are proponents of trans rights would agree that brains are wired differently based on sex and note that trans folk are wired differently than their "plumbing".
