Anybody that thinks women aren't aggressive just needs to come to my 
kid's school for morning drop-off with all the moms in SUVs - I live in 
a very friendly, rural small town where people are incredibly polite 
drivers, EXCEPT then; most NY cabbies are more polite.  I think an 
interesting study of gender differences could be done in that setting, 
as there is the presence of offspring, and competition over a common 
resource (limited access and a time pressure).  It really is quite dramatic.

Great link, thanks!

It's nice to see her name prominently in this article.  The article itself is really insightful and interesting, and cracks a number of stereotypes and assumptions, while highlighting the benefits of gender equality in the sciences.
