As far as I know the university doesn't pass people who's argument is based on anecdotal evidence. The studies are there, I just don't know his sources as I didn't write the thing. It's hardly just a case of "he said this so it's right". We could both sit here and discredit each others sources based on our own personal opinion, but it doesn't get us to a reasonable conclusion.

Surely you can agree with me that men and women have a different fundamental physiological make-up.
I know I'm crap at citing my sources, but I read an article in a science magazine about work done in India regarding intelligence.
Something similar here. Basically the findings were that intelligence is linked to genetics. What this is saying is that your psychological make-up is strongly influenced by your physical make-up.
It isn't an unreasonable suggestion that men and women are therefore psychologically different. These points are covered in the following articles (the 2nd one is particularly interesting).
Men, Women More Different Than Thought
Understanding The Difference Between Men And Women
