Prenatal gender

Berkeley professor Judith Butler is known for claiming that "male" and "female" are nothing but social constructs, i.e. society acts as if gender is a thing, but it really only exists in people's minds. She's received honors for this, like the Mellon Prize ($1,500,000).

But . . what about studies that show true, empirical differences between male and female brains? Followers of the Butler mindset claim that adults and children who show these differences have simply been programmed by society.

Now there is a new study on the question of whether gender is real. American researchers performed MRI's on the brains of babies before their birth. Results showed striking differences between the brains of prenatal males and females.

What do you think - will this politically incorrect challenge be covered by all the news networks any time soon?
