Thanks for the interesting discussion in class and in the forum so far. As you think about this topic here are a few more questions to consider:

I agree with what has been said that most people would probably identify as female or male. That being true should research continue to treat these categories as different even though the variation within a sex is just as large as the variation between sexes? (in research for treatments, etc.)

A lot of research about sex differences focuses on cognitive differences. Is there any value to this research besides one sex being able to say "I'm better than you?"
If not, should this research continue to be done? Is it valuable to know which sex is better at certain tasks?

Should researchers be trying to find a biological basis for homosexuality? If there is a biological basis would this stop some of the prejudices against this group or promote more? Ultimately, does it matter if sexual orientation comes from biological or social influences?

Again, thanks for your discussion!
