No overlap is rather surprising, though as others have mentioned the article doesn't do a good job explaining what is actually being measured here.

The idea that the male and female brains are identical has always seemed to be more grounded in political expediency rather than in reality. While there are always outliers (which is why the purported no overlap seems odd), when you actually interact with people in the real world it doesn't take long to identify behaviors and ways of thinking that are more common with either men or women.

I suppose the root of a lot of the trouble here is that some people just suck and have to make everything a competition. If men and women are different, then one must be better than the other, right? Surely we couldn't just accept and come to understand our differences and therefore work better together.
