Men are from Mars, women are from ... Mars too?

It turns out the sexes aren't locked in a cosmic battle after all: a new report from US psychologist and women's studies specialist, Dr. Janet Shibley-Hyde, contests the ideas of inherent gender differences. . . . her review of 46 meta-analyses (which cover a number of studies) conducted over the last 20 years, shows men and women are alike in the majority of areas. One minute I'm thinking we're from different planets and then, BAM!, our worlds collide. Hyde's report, however, drew some criticism from an expert on sex differences, Dr. Nick Neave, that I actually think is rather smart and on point. "There are differences. Ignoring them is foolish, and exaggerating them is dangerous. But that doesn't mean that society shouldn't treat the genders equally." Okay, finally someone who might be on to something. Imagine simultaneously accepting and respecting differences! What a concept.
