1/ Male behaviour like the Rotherham rape gangs and the Telford ones too etc etc etc?

The laws are already there if you don`t already know - it`s illegal to rape woman and it`s especially heinous to allow the rape of vulnerable girls. Its also scandalous and sickening that it was allowed to go on for years and it`s still happening too.

You`ve got your own opinion but mine happens to be that if you`ve got the XY chromosome you`re a male and therefore you should serve your time like a good boy in a mens prison.
Speaking from experience no doubt.
 
The human brain largely stops developing grey matter (neurons) at about 11-12 yrs of age. What continues to develop until about age 21 and perhaps up to ages 25-28 is mylenation, which is the insulation of the neuronal axon with a fatty sheath to increase the speed of an electrochemical impulse down the neuron and across the synapse to another neuron. It is unclear if and how mylenation affects judgment during these ages.

The hype surrounding "brain development continues into age 30" is mostly that--a bunch of neuroscientists/psychiatrists that document changes in brain activity across different ages, including some new synapses forming in the frontal lobe in the late 20s. To me, calling these changes "development" is like calling a rusting roof with occasional repairs "development". It is likely that they are just changes in rewiring that co-occur age, but these changes don't necessarily mean it's still developing (likely the changes are just another form of brain plasticity, a hallmark of the brain).

I suspect that "good" judgment is not determined by brain changes (or "development") at age 25-28, but largely by other factors, most of which have to do with personality traits in combination with local circumstances and hormone levels. More importantly, the changes in the brain during the ages of 20-30 likely don't have anything to do with gender identity as this is clearly something that emerges early on, well before puberty.

Great Post.

Admittedly I'm far to drunk to grasp the nuances or actually comprehend it but I'll back it to the hilt.

Are you saying our spiritual guru is chatting absolute wham?

Well I never.

Yes. I think that's exactly the type of thing he's talking about.
