Like Cahill and many others, we welcome more active research on females in basic animal neuroscience. In the recent Cerebrum article, “ Equal ≠ The Same: Sex Differences in the Human Brain,” author Larry Cahill offers his perspective on the nature of sex differences in brain and behavior, and what he considers to be a “counter-reaction” to such research by “anti-sex difference” investigators operating from the “deeply ingrained, implicit, false assumption that if men and women are equal, then men and women must be the same.” We welcome this opportunity to correct some of the misapprehensions and mischaracterizations in this account, and present a more nuanced view of the relations among sex, brain, and gender. Why Males ≠ Corvettes, Females ≠ Volvos, and Scientific Criticism ≠ Ideology ![]() ![]() ![]() To commemorate the anniversary of full marriage equality in the US, this anthology celebrates the idea of marriage itself-and the universal truth of it that applies to us all, gay or straight. ![]() With this book, they share the magic and excitement of dreams that came true-in tales of fantasy and romance with a dose of their personal experiences in the mix. Men who, unbelievably, now stand legally joined with the men they love. Men who thought legal marriage was aright they would never have. Here, four accomplished authors-married gay men-offer their take on that question as they explore same-sex relationships, love, and matrimony. That ruling made history, and now gay and lesbian Americans will grow up in a country where they will never be denied the right to marry the person they love.īut what about the gay men who waited and wondered all of their lives if the day would ever come when they could stand beside the person they love and say “I do”? On June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court of the United States made a monumental decision, and at long last, marriage equality became the law of the land. ![]() ![]() ‘What the hell?’ Lisa sat in the bed, silken sheets flowing off her nakedness like water. I crashed back through Lisa’s door and slammed it behind me, bracing myself for the impact. Instead his senseless form was now chasing me down the hall bellowing for blood. In my mind he’d folded up with a pleasing ‘oofff’ and left me free to leave the mansion unobserved, stepping over his prone and senseless form on the way. I dropped what remained of the vase, turned and ran. When the person you hit doesn’t have the grace to fall over it’s generally best to have a back-up plan. ‘Ow! Jesu! What the hell did you do that for?’ Alain DeVeer turned, clamping his hand to the back of his head and bringing it away bloody. Classics such as, ‘What’s that over there?’ work surprisingly often, but for truly optimal results it’s best if the person doesn’t ever know you were there. This can sometimes be accomplished by dint of a simple ruse. ![]() I’ve always found hitting a man from behind to be the best way to go about things. Unless of course not letting them down requires honesty, fair play, or bravery. I’m a liar and a cheat and a coward, but I will never, ever, let a friend down. ![]() ![]() ![]() But as the miracle drug begins to fail, how long can he keep this secret from the girl of his dreams?

Finally, he is presented with a purpose when the spirit of his beloved sister Larka tells him of a human child whose destiny is intertwined with the fate of nature. Now he roams the Transylvanian mountains alone, searching for truth, stalking lies, and hoping to find solace. Fell, like his sister, weilds the Sight, an ancient and terrifying power that has seperated him from other wolves, even his dear pack.
