There's no such thing as a "male brain" or "female ... -https://newsela.com/read/brain-gender/id/13332
This is one of hundreds of web sites coming up on Google repeating each other. It seems this was first listed in 3019 and has been gaining traction since.

I was looking for the Norwegian Research who first broke the differences in M and F brains and so far can't find it after digging back over a hundred sites into Google. They buried it just as they are trying to bury us again. If you have any of the original research papers or the web sites listed hang onto them as they are burying them in the search engine.

Even with all the research into the differences of M and F brains. Even though M and F brain can be picked out in an MRI it seems the truth is no longer relevant. We are losing ground once again and I believe it is because of the political fall out of realizing transgendered children exist. Close off that concept until the kid reaches the age of eighteen (again) so a five or six year old boy-girl can no longer be a discussion.

Someone turn the water pail upon me. I AM HOT!

God is it too early to check out? I'm beginning to dislike..., hate what the world is becomming.

Maybe. . ..

It's just possible that Google's algorithms are sending you results that fit your online profile.

Try the same search on a computer of a liberal friend.

My SERP tonight is what I expected to a query about female/male brain.

All of the whistleblower testimony the last few days about Facebook could logically apply to Google as well.

Or... just don't use Google

there are other options out there that value your privacy a lot more.
duckduckgo and startpage are just two of them.

If I have to use Google then it is via a private window. From memory, that was about 6 months ago now.
I just don't want to feed the monster/big brother unless I can avoid it.

Trends & Profiles = Skewed Results

Hypatia Littlewings's picture

I think such skewed results are actually part of a bigger problem, and not that Google it self has picked a side on this particular topic, or at least not intentionally.

Something is going on with, search, news feeds and, social media, in general. Result have been badly skewed by a combination of, advertising, what is trendy, profiling, and the pursuit of, hits or likes. What you get instead of, what is actually relevant is, a combination of what is trendy on the topic, and what profiling thinks(predicts) you want to see. Which is further skewed, by advertising, both directly, and indirectly, and the overall pursuit of hits.

This tends to feed on itself, the more hits(or likes) something gets the more it is trendy, and the more it goes to the top of the results. Also the more your personally generates hits on something, the more similar results will be pushed to you personally. This means among other things that, non-popular result will get hidden. This fails badly when, you don't actually fit the profile, or are looking for something that is not popular or trendy.

Besides giving bad results, useless in some cases, and a false view of the facts to the general public, this is also tending to polarize extremist views. When the profiling fails it fails, but if it is either near the mark, or at least hits an undecided mind, it then, pushes them down the path it predicted, by feeding them more, and more of the same, or even more extreme in the same vein. It is not actually intentional as such. However the end result is: Instead of balanced results you get, multiple feedback loops, dividing people, and reinforcing extremest views, on many topics.

This seems to be a major problem with today's society, effecting everything, but it is both massive subtle at the same time. I am not sure how it can be fixed except, possibly by, making people aware of it. Unfortunately, that is not likely to be a trendy topic.

.
PS. my current results are showing articles that are on both sides of the male/female brain issue.

Thanks Ladies

All of you are right. It's probably Google doing an algorithm on me. The dang search engine has been trying to get in my panties for more than a year now. Such as it has noticed I have been spamming (never) and shuts down my search until I cough up my phone number and address, and a pint of blood. (fat chance) I close down the links, switch over to Bing, Duck Duck, or Yahoo and keep searching. And we are okay the next day when I boot the computer again. They have done that to me four times this year.
And yes most of my searches are either for tractor, diesel parts, or I'm searching in depth data about transgender. Thus even though it's bad out there as Google just spilled the beans about all the false facts feeding into each other. God you think they hand out a prepared speech to those people. Do they really believe it without checking for the real research? Or do they hate trans so much they want to get the propaganda out to the politicians and the masses to make them think like they do?
Hugs Ladies, and so many thanks for giving me a heads up. I was fuming to say the least.

Back When I Cared

Back when I was running a massive website and cared about SERP positions, I would regularly clean out my cache and cookies to get an "unbiased" SERP.

My guess is Google has found ways to get around even that, but you might try it.

Google is trying hard

to build a complete dossier of our lives, likes, dislikes and pretty well everything about our lives, on each and every one of us. So are Facebook and friends but those can be avoided. Google is much harder.
Web and App devs all over the world have taken the easy way out and used the nice and free google libraries. Most sites simply do not work without at least some of google being permitted through firewalls etc. They are Evil beyond doubt.

I gave up on google as my main search engine around Aug 2010 when I worked for an Ad slinger for a while (I needed the money after my previous employer went TITSUP in 2009). I saw how SEO worked and more importantly, how targetted ads were being implemented. That did it for me.

That's just my opinion btw.
