I have been editing [[Cordelia Fine]] because her book <i>Delusions of Gender</i> is up for many awards. In case anyone is interested in the nature/nurture debate, Fine&#39;s book takes the nurture line (that is, men&#39;s and women&#39;s brains are different). She is obviously a talented, intelligent and successful author/academic but I note that the debate is undiminished even after the long time that I have been watching it. In the interests of balance, I also added a reference on the Fine article to a critique of the nurture view. The author of the critique is another talented, intelligent and successful author/academic who argues that the reason feminists like the behaviourist view is that &quot;anything else makes femaleness a disadvantage, out in the world 
beyond domesticity. The minute you allow difference - say, &#39;&#39;males are 
more driven&#39;&#39; - you make non-maleness second-rate&quot;.<br><br>I&#39;m pointing out this book, article and debate on this list in case anyone is interested in the arguments and current publications about it. As I said, the debate goes on and so does the research ...<br>
