What I find the most telling is that women's brains and men's brains are compatible.

Three articles (where comments are allowed - and as you'd expect interesting):

The Difference Between Men and Women’s Brains Revealed?

The picture the reveals why men and women's brains really ARE different: The connections that mean girls are made for multi-tasking

The hardwired difference between male and female brains could explain why men are 'better at map reading'

Now we need a study of the differences between the liberal brain and the human.

Short-circuits, probably.

For instance, on average, men are more likely better at learning and performing a single task at hand, like cycling or navigating directions, whereas women have superior memory and social cognition skills, making them more equipped for multitasking and creating solutions that work for a group. They have a mentalistic approach, so to speak.

Uh huh, Uh huh. IOW, if your wife tells you "No, it wasn't there it was at the other place," or "No, it wasn't him, it was his brother", etc. etc. ... JUST FORGET IT!

My wife gives me crap because I’m such a terrible multi-tasker lol. She never forgets when bills are due, who needs a Christmas present, what groceries we need, who’s birthday is coming up, how much we can spend etc. She’s extremely intelligent, but give her the task of putting my son’s lego set back together and you’d think I was asking her to do quantum mechanics. ;-)

First off, thanks for posting this

Second, the problem with an article like this is that it says nothing about what the actual experiments were and the actual findings were. This is narrative story speculation of potential implications or understandings of the results of these experiments, not a description of the experiment itself and the actual experimental results — except for one sentence almost buried in the article.

For example, “ones” are big cool buzzwords now, but not necessarily meaningful in the manners they are often used. This article should describe how they are defining the “connectome” and the scientific methods they used to assess the connections etc...

As written, so many of these press release articles from university PR departments are modern just so stories and the interesting hard science is hardly touched upon.

I seem to remember a bunch of women that couldn’t see any evidence that O.J. Simpson committed double homicide.

What kind of brain is that?

A study was needed for this?

The authors observed only a few gender differences in the connectivity in children younger than 13 years, but the differences were more pronounced in adolescents aged 14 to 17 years and young adults older than 17.

I suspect that either their technology was not up to the task or they are not looking in the right places.

Anyone who have observed children at play can tell you that their behaviors and how they choose to play are markedly different.

And I certainly believe that the architecture of the brain for the most part drives behavior particularly in the very young.

From the earliest age of children it is easy to observe the differences in the way boys and girls behave.

One of the strongest, most obvious differences I have found between the sexes is the sense of compass direction. Almost any woman couldn’t point out west at sunset.

I guess that multi-tasking comes in real handy when deciding who to vote for, say Bill Clinton and Barack Obama...

I'll tell you right now that in many things women are smarter, more organized and more creative in their approach to problem solving.



(Of course this is because for a significant portion of their life they receive monthly re-programming from the alien mothership circling the planet.)

Well, if this study has validity, they can now test an equal number of people who describe themselves as homosexuals and see what each of their brains looks like as compared with the preponderance of the brains of the people born with their gender. This could either support or debunk the homosexual lobby claim that homosexuals were meant to be the opposite gender.

A study like this should cause loss of grants and perhaps IRS audits.

How sexist. Women don’t have brain connectivity?

While true, it’s nevertheless sexist, and we can’t have that.

Like saying gays are gayless.

There is another study in progress that has discovered that they are built differently!
