"Here's a snap brain quiz. Which sex uses, on average, about 20,000 words a day, in contrast to the 7000 uttered by the other sex? Who has two-and-a-half times the amount of brain space devoted to sexual drive, meaning they think about sex, on average, every 52 seconds? When their feelings are hurt by someone they love, which sex reacts by assuming the relationship is over? Who has larger sections of the brain for action and aggression? If you answered, in order, women, men, women, men, you've been watching too many Woody Allen movies. Now, science is confirming that Woody was right all along."
"Brizendine points to a study of 10,000 people across 37 different cultures, that reveals women are less interested in how a man looks and more interested in his wallet and social standing."
The book is at:
http://www.louannbrizendine.com/
"Hormones and Phases of a Female's Life"
Where she says that our entire brain changes depending on which week of our period we are in!!
So come on, we know the brains are exactly equal, why listen to the hundreds of studies cited in the book? Is this just the latest manifestation of patriarchal logic and science oppressing women?!
