In reply to the corpus callosum of women is not bigger, posted by mars on February 18, 2001, at 1:53:38
There's been a recent spate of modern disrepudiation concerning the correlations between CC size and gender. This is nothing more than a pathetic attempt by feminists to prove their "the same as" men in nearly every respect. Unfortunately, a lot of well-meaning but otherwise ill-informed men and women have echoed this misinformation to such an extent that even doctored practitioners are beginning to believe it and regurgitate it as well.
Fortunately, there are MODERN MRI-based studies that correlate CC size and gender. The results of one such study, done in 1997, can be found here: http://cogprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/archive/00000085/
Thank you for your enlightened understanding.
