Are there Gender and Sexuality Differences???

What have we learned thus far? By looking at various examples, we have seen that differences in behavior are correlated with differences in the brain. For example, we saw that male birds produce song more than female birds, and we saw that certain parts of the male brains are larger than of the female brains. As another example, we saw that a baby human's brain is very different than an adult's brain, and we can see clear differences in their behavior.

So, what now? Can we ask questions about the behavior differences between men and women? What about the behavior differences between people with different sexual orientations?
