given there's a study which adds to the whole male/female brain being a huge crock of shite they still come out with this pish.
'but there’s one thing we all know for certain: men’s and women’s brains are wired in completely different ways that make the two sexes so very unlike one another'
'An analysis of the brain scans of 1,400 men and women claims to show that entirely ‘male’ or ‘female’ brains are extremely rare, with most being ‘inter-sex’ — or somewhere in between.
Back in the real world, this simply can’t be true. For centuries, the battle of the sexes has been waged over the biological differences between our brains — be these in our approach to map-reading, relationships or household chores.'
'Brains develop a gender in the womb
It’s not possible to put all our differences down to the ways in which boys and girls are raised — because the gender of your brain starts developing before birth.'
The article goes on to explain how men are wired not to listen, not hear babies cry, but to think about sex more.
I know they have some studies linked. But if I taught you the trumpet every day and then did a scan of you playing it no doubt some parts of the brain would 'light up' on a scan that wouldn't for someone not using their brain in the same way. Does that mean we have trumpet brains?
I know I'm probably preaching to the converted here but I needed to have a rant. I was so positive this morning, my son learnt about sexism in his PHSE class yesterday and came home talking about what bollocks gendered behaviour was. He'd had his eyes opened and was talking about how the patriarchy affected his sisters in a negative way, but him too. You think you're getting somewhere.....
