MALE OR FEMALE BRAIN?

There is a common belief that men are smarter than women just because they have bigger brains. Well, that is a myth, and the truth is that the weight and size of a brain has nothing to do with intellectual ability! Moreover brain has its own ''gender'' ! ! ! 

Some facts:


• Albert Einstein’s brain weighed less than the average weight of a human brain!

• The male brain is on average up to 10% larger than a female's;

• The female brain have more nerve cells and connectors, therefore working more efficiently than male's.

• The male brain tend to perform tasks generally with the left-side, which is the logical/rational side of the brain.

• The female brain use both sides of their brains because a female brain has a larger corpus callosum, which means that it can transfer data between the right and left hemispheres faster.

• You certainly have got either systemising male or empathising female brain despite your biological gender and sexual orientation.

• The type of brain you have will influence your feelings, behaviour, talents and weaknesses.

I think it's time to appreciate each other as equal human beings whether you're man or woman. Darwinian theory has influenced and supported the idea that men were superior to women, which was already within many cultures. How can we challenge gender stereotypes?
