Case in point about "a certain group's position", it seems that the underlying stance of "the gendered brain doesnt exist" is: difference equals inferiority. Which of course is both absurd and reactionary. Saying that there is no difference and gender/behaviour is 100% the result of social pressure basicly means that for example gays are also conditioned, so this "theory" actually agrees with nutcase things like gay conversion therapy.
