The proverb “Men are from Mars, and women are from Venus” is one you may have heard. If you have, you have probably previously thought about how men and women differ from one another. And there are a few significant ones, according to scientists.
Despite all the differences, there are also a lot of parallels. But the similarities are probably not why you came to read this essay. The fact that men and women are just wired differently should not be shocking. Women are frequently predisposed to some diseases, while men are frequently predisposed to others.
And while those may account for a sizable portion of our differences, there are still other ones. These ten distinctions are all supported by science.
1. The minds of men are bigger.
The male brain is roughly 11% bigger than the female brain. Not our intelligence, but our body and organ size dictates who we are. Therefore, having a bigger brain doesn’t necessarily make someone more brilliant; rather, it only makes sense given their bigger physique and structure (on average.)
2. Women have superior understanding and reading skills.
According to a Stanford Medicine article, numerous studies have shown that women’s reading and comprehension abilities are superior to those of the typical male. In measures of perceptual speed and fine motor coordination, women also do better than men.
3. Men and women have distinct ways of seeing things.
Men are better able to track how objects move on a greater scale than women because they have thicker retinas and larger M cells. Women, on the other hand, have a greater number of P cells, which improves their ability to recognize objects.
4. Left and right hemispheres
Men typically use their left hemisphere of the brain more than their right. However, women frequently employ both sides.
5. Birth is when birth brain abnormalities first appear.
Fetuses of both sexes begin to differentiate relatively early. Female brains start growing a thicker corpus callosum, which joins the left and right hemispheres, as early as 26 weeks.
6. Men are better at thinking in three dimensions.
Men are more likely than women to think of objects in three dimensions. Many scientists think this is probably due to the fact that men may have needed this capacity in the past due to hunting and competitive combat.
7. Women perform many tasks more adeptly.
Multitasking is not one of the benefits that guys may enjoy. Women, on the other hand, are better at multitasking.
8. Men are predisposed to these illnesses.
Unfortunately, men are more prone to experience dyslexia, schizophrenia, autism, and addiction to alcohol or drugs. Scientists say that it results from the way their brains are wired as well as the absence of estrogen, which is known to shield the brain in numerous ways from some types of mental illness.
9. These disorders are more likely to affect women.
However, women are much more prone to get post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. Additionally, autoimmune diseases and heart disease are more common in women.
10. The front to back connections in men’s brains are more numerous.
Men have stronger connections between the parts of the brain responsible for motor and spatial skills, even though women are better at using both hemispheres (right and left) (back and front). They typically have stronger hand-eye coordination as a result.
11. Gray matter,
In the hippocampus, which controls memory and communication, women have more gray matter than men. Additionally, memory and social cognition have greater connections, which is probably why women are more adept at understanding and empathizing.
12. Verbal centers.
Women are bilingual in their ability to verbalize and communicate. Women may also come across as being chattier than men. Actually, the wiring connecting these two sides is more to blame.
13. Men use their dominant hemisphere to process language.
Men typically use their left side more, which is where they process words. Most men choose ineffective language to explain what happened, which may have something to do with the common stereotype of males and communication.
14. Bonding and relationship.
Oxytocin and estrogen, the hormones that promote social interaction and emotion, are found in larger concentrations in women. Women are more motivated to form emotional ties as a result. Contrarily, men tend to have higher testosterone levels, which can make them more aggressive, easily irritated, and insatiably curious.
