RE: Sex Differences: Do females and males have different brains? Addendum

Yeah. I guess, thinking about it, it's not such a radical hypothesis to have. The difficult part is offering arguments for how that may be the case, and exploring the ramifications. In many animals biological differences are exaggerated by various behaviors, for example a male bird adding a fake feather to his tail to exaggerate the tail-size that is already, on average, bigger than a female's. So I think to some important degree our socializing men and women toward greater extremes is an attempt to accentuate those already-present biological differences, and, ultimately, to attract mates.

Sort:  

The problem (re: socializing) in humans (which is also a great “blessing”) is the ability to think, speak and form an opinion. Because one can influence their fellow human with more than just the physical senses but all the psychological.

Where everything gets skewed beyond a relatively uniform specieal (of the species) normalcy.

Like genes, like memes! One physical, the other mental.
