I thought Nancy was asking me to identify a specific article that was selectively quoted. I did: all of them. I'm just saying that the headline is a lie, supported by selective quotation: this is not a finding of sexual similarity and none of the popular coverage claims that it is a study of sexual difference.

And again, you reiterate your original claim and respond to neither Nancy nor myself.

Here is an article. You say it is wrong and not only is its thesis wrong, every quote is misleading. When asked for elaboration, you go on saying that. If 'this is a very simple claim', it should be easy to elaborate how the popular articles are correct, the quotations of them misleading, and the revisionist interpretation 'nonsense'.
