It's interesting to learn about studies that prove the gender divide in the nature versus nurture debate. How, despite their efforts, scientists can unknowingly show biased tendencies when trying to prove that the difference in gendered brains is real. 'Neurotrash' is the perfect moniker for some of the studies that say girls are predisposed to caring activities while boys prefer machine-type subjects. A good dive into stereotypes, children, and how leaning on old traditions and ideas can make our society disfunctional in the long run.
