I'M NOT CLEAR ON WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO PUT THIS. IT IS RATHER BRIEF, BUT DOES LINK TO OTHER PAGES APPROPRIATELY. PERHAPS YOU SHOULD GO AHEAD AND POST IT AND LET ME KNOW WHERE TO FIND IT SO I CAN SEE IT IN CONTEXT. --jl AND WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR EDITING COMMENTS, TRY TO AVOID MAKING STATEMENTS LIKE "I DON'T LIKE IT" AND BE MORE FOCUSED ON THE FACTS -- CITATIONS MISSING, ETC. IN FACT, YOU COULD MARK APPROPRIATE PLACES WITH "CITATION NEEDED" NOTES.

I've read the Biology of gender page, and think a few changes would be beneficial. Under the Nature Vs. Nurture section, the paragraph does not contain any citations. The information is too informal.The Behavior section doesn't seem to serve a purpose. The one sentence "Hormones have been linked with male aggression", was not taken appropriately from the source provided. Besides that, it is a very ambiguous statement. There is already a link to the aggression page, which is good. I will have to double check with the aggression experts, but I think the statement should be replaced with something like:

Aggression
Males are typically considered the more aggressive sex, but that may depend on the definition of aggression. While females are less likely to be physically aggressive, they are frequently involved in gossip and indirect acts of aggression Aggression in the brain is primarily associated with the amygdala and hypothalamus. Many studies have examined the correlation between aggression and certain hormones and neurotransmitters, specifically testosterone. However, the link between testosterone and aggression in humans remains unclear. A more established negative correlation has been discovered between serotonin and aggression, meaning that higher levels of serotonin are correlated with lower levels of aggression and vice versa.
