An Annotation
Williams completely ignores all the gender based brain research when, in this article, he blames “culture” for sweeping boys and girls into their identity roles and interests. One example of this is his discussion about competition as he cites “How Schools Shortchange Girls.” After reading brain research, this article sounds childish and inflammatory.
