I would agree to the logic and math part...................

Why Men Don’t Listen to Women (excerpt)

While most of us actually hear female voices more clearly, men’s brains hear women’s voices first as music...

Bottom line: Men have to work harder deciphering what women are saying because they use the auditory part of the brain that processes music, not human voices. Men’s brains are not designed to listen to women’s voices. It’s not the pitch of the woman’s voice, but rather the vibration and number of sound waves that cause the problem, notes Discovery News.

But guys have no trouble at all hearing each other because men use a much simpler brain mechanism at the back of the brain to decipher another man’s voice and recognize it as
speech.

One of them has a protrusion located between their legs; the other an indentation. But I forget which is which

The one on the left is the male, the one on the right is the female.

If there is a mechanistic difference between the brains of males and females, is it inconceivable that there is also a difference between the brains of the races? Isn’t it possible that some races’ brains work differently than others, and that that difference could account for economic and cultural disparities?

The old ‘Nature vs Nurture’ argument. I believe it’s nurture not nature that some are in the situation they are in...............

Scientists uncover a difference between the sexes...

Are they perceptive, or what?

[Mr Radical]

"For 20 years, Woolley actively avoided studying sex differences in the brain until her own data showed her that differences between females and males were real."

It took 20 years for this 'scientist' to discover what most folks have known all along? Sheesh!

ROFL!

In other news, scientists predict the sun will rise in the east tomorrow, and each day after that...................for a long time to come...............film at 11..................

"We are not doing women—and specifically women's health—any favors by pretending that things are the same if they are not," Woolley said.

To heck with the men!

[IronJack]

I believe the phenomenon is too pervasive to be environmental. And it also gets to be a causal question: are certain racial cultures marginal because their members are different-brained, or do different-brained races spawn cultures that define “success” differently?

Oh oh. The jackasses at Target are going to have to bring back the boys and girls underwear signs. I guess the dysfunctional rainbow family and their “parents” are going to have to suck it up and take it like whatever the hell sex they consider themselves as being.
