That article was published in 2003! The article is a sloppy piece of work containing a few incomplete peeks at actual research. The idea that the difference in the actual mass of men and women's brains doesn't lead to some overall superiority for men is groundbreaking only if your high school biology teacher was a Victorian phrenologist. The articles recycles a patchwork of hacky old mythologies about sex and gender. I expect more from Mental Floss. Seriously. Your link to the Psychology Today article is hardly “new research”.
