Journal brain Waves or maybe it. Was brain scan lends new credence a a j. Jato a theory that Many of a amp suspected. But few of us in the interests of peaceful coexistence Between the sexes were prepared to discuss publicly. The theory All brains Are not created equal men and women Are different. It. Yes its True. Male and female brains have structural differences which experts believe May explain Many inconsistencies in our behaviour such As Why one sex suffers a chronic inability to perform simple household tasks like ironing Slacks without creating double creases and Why the other sex is obsessed with carping about these i abilities in the aforementioned sex and attributing them to laziness chauvinism Lack of commitment and monday night football. But now the truth can be known we men behave this Way because of the construction of our brains. At a recent meeting of the society for neuroscience in St. Louis scientists detailed these Struc Tural differences which exist in the fibres con. Nesting the two halves of the brain and in the Crevice known As the Sylvian fissure the surface of this useful Organ. A a what docs All Thlu. Mean to us in America where men and women Are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable. Rights a life Liberty and the Pursuit of mated Alisa not to mention equal Access to Public toilet facilities a actually these neurological discoveries raise several serious questions that should be and. Dressed such As. A How is Joan Collins brain different from Sylvester Stallone a what about Madonna a and Pope John Paul is a a where docs Saddam Hussein a brain reside a arc these differences the reason women can to stand to touch Worms and men can to stand to touch vacuum cleaners a these discoveries offer insights into the scientific phenomenon involving men and women and hard boiled eggs whereby when you toss a hard boiled egg at a seated Man he closes his legs and when you toss one at a seated woman she makes egg salad. Recent neurological research also helps sex. Plain Why men and women done to communicate on the same Wavelength a a phenomenon i first observed As Early As age 8 while conducting a clinical analysis of my Mother and father. In a frequent interaction she would ask him to pick up a few things at the store on the Way Home from work shortly thereafter he would walk into the House carrying a six pack of Budweiser which needless to say Hadnot been on her personally ascribe my inability to see dust on. The living room floor to the Structure of my brain. My wife on the other hand ascribes it to laziness. Likewise when i Wash dishes which i have been known to do and willingly admit doing in a free society where modern Man shrink from such tasks nor should he be made to feel wimpy by his fellow Many wife often conducts a test she Learned from watching to commercials for Cascade and rubs her forefinger across the dish but instead of the squeaky clean sound you hear on television there a a swishy sound you normally associate with squashing a Ripe banana and her forefinger looks As if she personally assisted in the Exxon Valdez cleanup. Being a Cha violist my wife claims we men acquired these habits from our fathers and their fathers before them who generally acted like Lay Good for nothings when housework was con corned and that our actions have nothing to do with the Structure of our brains. I disagree respectfully. In my own family i see evidence of this gender Gap daily. My four daughters Are always late for. Church. I arrive a Day Early. My wife squeezes the toothpaste from the Bottom of the tube. I squeeze it from the Middle. My kids done to squeeze it at All unless i threaten to take them to the dentist and have All their molars extracted. What in the end does All this mean for the future of Mankind and womankind does it mean Well never escape the stereotypes of men and women which have existed since time imm Tepori Al when men hunted while women cooked and women washed the dishes while men slept to think so much hinges on a few misplace fibres of Gray matter.
