1. Introduction
? When we think about whether we should treat a person according to one's sex or gender, we cannot ignore the extent of actual differences between sexes.
? Yet from neuroscientific findings on sex differences, is it possible to draw some conclusions about how to treat sex in our society?
? In this presentation I will...
? examine how popular discourse derives suggestions on social lives from neuroscience of sex and show problems in such discourse.
? consider how we should treat neuroscientific knowledge about sex when we face social problems.
