Sex and Brains!
Is your brain male or female?
That was the title of BBC documentary in 2014. In one of the documentary interviews, Michael Mosley, a British physician claimed that “studies” have found that women are better at “empathizing and communicating”, while men are better at “systematising” which means understanding and building systems-not just computers and machinery, but abstract systems such as politics and music. Michael Mosley has been strongly influenced by the work of Professor Simon Baron-Cohen of Cambridge University who argued that the differences between male and female brains occur because of the higher testosterone levels in the womb. No need to say who have the highest levels.
