Men and Women think differently: a scientific truth

Although the physical difference between the sexes - in size and anatomical structure - is obvious, the question of the differences in the psychology of men and women is much more complex and ambiguous, and it is not so easy to reliably measure these differences.

And when scientists manage to detect such differences, then, as a rule, disputes arise as to whether they are congenital, that is, biological, or acquired-sociocultural.

In other words, are men and women born different, or are they made by society?

Over a period of time scientists have been proving an immutable fact: men and women still think differently. And it's not even about the notorious female logic. Everything is much more serious.

It's not going against the truth, if we understand that humanity, throughout the whole thorny path from monkey to modern homo sapiens, persistently reflected on the topic of gender differences. That is why women and men, whatever one may say, but very different from each other. It seems that God created Adam and Eve separately, although the materials used the same. And yet the difference is striking ...

In our age of progressive post-industrial civilization, scientists do not cease to open up new differences and they have came to the conclusion that after all, men and women think in absolutely different ways. And it's not just about the logic of thinking, but about something more serious.

According to studies of brain anatomy, men are more "thought" by gray matter, and women - by white. Do not be surprised, sometimes it happens. For those who do not know, recall, the brain distinguishes between gray and white substances, which are not the same in terms of microscopic structure and in their genus in the functions of the brain. Gray matter then forms continuous layers on the surface of the brain (crusts of the large and small brain), then it lays its cavities (ventricles), then it accumulates inside the white matter in the form of nests (nodes, nuclei, centers).

And here it turns out that in the process of thinking men, unlike women, employs 6.5 times more gray matter. In turn, the beautiful floor opposite - 10 times more white matter. Almost the eastern dialectic of yin and yang.

In order to understand them correctly, scientists especially emphasize: such a difference does not in any way say that one of the sexes is more intelligent than the other. These results indicate that human evolution has created two different types of brain for the same images of the actions of the intellect. By accurately identifying sex differences, scientists can potentially help in the study of dementia and other diseases.

According to the old saying, men and women are so different from each other that they seem to be inhabitants of different planets. This statement amuses somebody, but irritates someone.
