#4I wonder what would be the comments if the title would swap men and women. Definitly this would top HN

#5This would be considered sexist harassment in some circles.
update: LMAO - it's been flagged and killed. It's almost like the left ignores science when convenient just like the right does.

We've turned off the flags, but if there's to be a glimmer of a hope for a reasonable discussion we need commenters to leave out the partisan flamebait.

#7I wonder how they accounted for volumetric differences-- brains have structural differences between genders, with male brains usually 8-13% larger overall, but it's a lot more complicated than that, with volumes and neural densities varying across many different regions: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0149763413...
This would trivially seem to affect blood flow, since blood vessels for different sized regions would behave differently.

Yes, the article title manages to be both clickbait and flamebait, and to leave it as is would not only violate the HN guidelines, (which specifically ask for such titles to be changed: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), it would also do considerable damage to HN. Emotions are running particularly high about such material right now.

It's a press release title, the title for actual research article is Gender-Based Cerebral Perfusion Differences in 46,034 Functional Neuroimaging Scans http://content.iospress.com/articles/journal-of-alzheimers-d...

#10"The study also found increased blood flow in limbic areas of the brains of women, which may also partially explain why women are more vulnerable to anxiety, depression, insomnia, and eating disorders." That is the claim James Damore made in his argument.
