Men and Women have differences in their brains that make them react different to situation. This article http://www.mastersofhealthcare.com/blog/2009/10-big-differences-between-mens-and-womens-brains/ "10 Big Differences Between Men's and Women's Brains" By Amber Hensley, explains the major differences in our brains. I thought it was very interesting to find out that men find it hard to understand emotions when they are not verbally communicated to them, they are not able to infer them like women. Although, mens brains are able to do math better than women because their inferior-parietal lobule is larger than women. Its weird to find that women have a larger limbic system which makes them feel emothion more than women. This article really explains the key differences between men and women. I find it to be very interesting to see all the differences that we actually have with eachother. One of my favorite points Hensley says is about our different reactions to pain. Women are much more vocal and need to morphine to handle their pain than men. Shes reasons this by saying "The area of the brain that is activated during pain is the amygdala, and researchers have discovered that in men, the right amygdala is activated and in women, the left amygdala is activated. The right amygdala has more connections with areas of the brain that control external functions while the right amygdala has more connections with internal functions. This difference probably explains why women perceive pain more intensely than do men. "

This gives a lot of answers to the wuestions baout why woman do things that men would hesitate to do. Such as crying over little things and reaching for their friends for supprt. This shows that there is bonafide information that the male and female brains are programmed differently. I used to think if I was born a woman that I would act the same as I do a man. But now I see that I would not act anything like a man at all because my brain would be programmed totally diferrently.
ReplyDeleteI found this post very interesting to read. I learned why men and women react differently to the same type of situation. I was under the assumption that men could take pain better because it was the "manly" thing to do. I had no idea that there was an actual science behind why women react differently to pain. I also found it fascinating that due to a larger limbic system, women can interpret emotion at a much deeper level than men can. All together this post answered a lot of questions i had about the differences between the brains' of the two sexes.
