Horizon - is your brain male or female NOW (9pm bbc2)

[SevenZarkSeven]

DH just pointed it out for me

So going to watch - hope I don't need to feel the RAGE too much

Anyone with me?

Why are none of these highly educated people considering the fact that the men a women they know might act differently because they have been socialised to behave that way?!

Ha, I know about this crawling experiment.

And now, the baby obstacle course!

hurray, they're falling into the trap

not that i ever did that with mine, oh no

I'm so slow at typing...

I want to see how a mum with boy/girl twins reacts to the crawling ramp.

I was one of two girls in my A Level Physics class. We both dropped out after a year, the shame!

This is depressing isn't it, with the school kids.

so 'creative' or 'caring' for girls

'doctor', 'architect', 'computing' for boys

so depressing.

I like the powerful important music for the male/female behaviour brain woman who is on now.

It said She Is Worth Listening To

This Dr Gina something seems to have more of an idea

Thing is the girls identified that they had been influenced by media showing scientists as male etc but of course knowing something doesn't mean that emotionally you can not go along with it IYSWIM.

So finally an expert that say difference between male and female brains less than diff between females or males.
Yippee!

Oh this is good stuff now!

I don't see why 'creative' and 'scientist' (or indeed 'architect') should be considered mutually exclusive though.

I love Gina

However lots of poeple will have had their ...

dammit DD down have had to pause

Brain washing from birth. Differences are learned.
I had only brothers and my father treated us the same way. (Thank you to DF!)
And guess what, brothers arts based and I am a mathematician!!!

Yes, finally, cultural pressures.

oh well, hopefully this is educating pp who have otherwise assumed the stereotypes are trufact

Oubliette. Absolutely. Creative scientists! Arty architects.

Hope so!

Yes Oubliette, of course scientists are hugely creative!

Just goes to show the damage these stereotypes do to both genders

unpause!

people with belief in difference will have had their ideas confirmed and switched over by now...

Are you watching. Her hand is way further in. He is keeping watch out!

A closed hand will stand the cold for longer than an open hand

Also, doesn't he do this all the time?
