That paper has little, if anything, to do with aphextron's point. It's a study of brain anatomy.

Here's some directly-relevant literature, which points to a systematic preference for occupations in men vs women: [0]

Hence saying it was largely debunked from a biological perspective.

aphextron didn't elaborate on the source of the psychological differences. I was pointing out that it wasn't biological and most likely cultural.

And that's completely irrelevant to the current discussion.

BTW it's not even debunked from the biological perspective. It's debunked from a brain anatomy perspective.
