Summary: Intriguing
Comment: Yes, I know this book is controversial. And I read all the reviews about it and was a bit apalled. Yes, OF COURSE there are individual differences between every single being on this planet. And of course no one person should be judged on their sex, however this book does not set out to show that all women should be in the kitchen baking cakes and all men should be out bringing home the bread, it simply is attempting to paint a clear picture of the innate differences between men and women. Why is it that differences between men and women is such a terrible horrible thing? I don't see it reversing all of the progress made by women in the past 30 years, however I may see it celebrate the gifts that both sexes can bring, and not see it as superiority or inferiority! Males and Females were made to compliment eachother, NOT be the same in all respects. Not every person will fit every trait given in this book, and they didnt say sex was based on genitals! Its based on THE BRAIN. Its a wonderful book hehe. Read it.

Summary: A must read for everyone
Comment: This book has completely changed my outlook on the male-female relationship. Contrary to what the ultra-feminists who rated this book as a '1' have stated, what I, and my wife as well, have obtained from Brain Sex is a greater appreciation for the differences between men and women. What Moir and Jessel present is not a sexist portrayal of gender role but a celebration to the wonderful complementary roles that men and women were created for. Of course there is social 'engineering' that people in every society go through, but it about time we understand the reason why every society of significant size in human history has developed with similarly defined gender roles was not accidental but to make use of each gender's specific strengths and weaknesses. And although technology has opened up many barriers for women with each generation, it doesn't mean that biological differences have changed. Unlike these ultra-feminists who call women to try and play on the same exact field with men in order to achieve recognition, Moir and Jessel are instead urging us that we should recognize and celebrate women for playing on the fields that they alone could have played on throughout human history. Rejecting female uniqueness will only hinder real female liberation in the long run.
P.S. They should make this a mandatory read for everyone soon to be married couple, as I have gained a vast understanding and appreciation for my wife's innate female idiosyncrasies. She has also said the same about my quirks.

Summary: this book started it all
Comment: The book is just bad for society.What good does it do to
tell people they have one of four choices:female brain,
male brain,or if you're lucky enough,male with a female
brain,and female with a male brain.
Somewhere in this tangled mess of a book they forgot to
inform us that spatial and verbal brains are different
regardless of wether the person is a man or woman.
It's like playing gender Russian roulette.On one hand the
writers insist a person can be a female and have a male
brain,on the other hand a person can be male and have a
female brain.Since they find it highly unlikely for a female
to have a male brain,they tell you you're a sort of
cross over,you are a sort of odd person not following a
pattern or brain structure proper for your gender,or is it
sex?The word play in this book is of course confusing on
purpose,so the readers out there become so lost in word
play as to be unaware of how their brains are being washed
by this material.
I've read many books about "sex differences" lately.The
reason I'm doing this is to see how we are manipulated by
the media and written word in general.
Try reading this book and you will see how the writers
play with words and jump around.
The premise of the book is to fix people into opposing
groups,men and women.The agenda is clear.It's a money maker
because of the Western world obsession with "sex differences"
One thing which I found hilarous "sex is in the body" "gender is
the brain" and it seems as though if you don't have the right
body attached to the right brain,then you're a mismatch.
Written to confuse readers.
There are spatial brains and verbal brains and they can
reside in either a man or woman.What is very deceptive is
how the writers don't tell you about the different structures of
the verbal and spatial brain,and how they can be in either sex,
or is it gender?
