I actually found the hair argument much more offensive, although probably because it involved a number of other issues (sexual freedom, women's freedom of association) that I didn't mention. (The debate was here, particuarly around MJ's post at 10:51 a.m. on Wednesday.)
I grew up, as I imagine you did, with the cultural belief that there are no important differences between men and women other than the obvious different, er, equipment. I'm less and less sure that this is true. I don't think this guy is right, but overall I'm less disturbed by the statement that men and women might have cognitive differences than by the statement that men and women should have different civil liberties.
