This’ll shock you. Men and women are different. Sorry; …are different!!!! Holy shit!!!! All those years of truly believing that the only difference between men and women was the level of opportunities and expectations and was really down to being given a dolly at age 1 instead of a plastic machine gun, and now they’re saying its not so. You can dress a boy in dresses, give him make-up and toy babies, even make him an Arsenal fan, but there’s still something innate (a word you can still legally use in this context, but only under extreme caution) that makes him a boy. Forget the fact that males and females have a totally different chromosomal make-up and hence are totally, genetically ‘different’, ignore (at your peril) that a man, generally speaking, has a nob, we have all been waiting for science to validate this ‘properly’. Men and women are different. It’s in their brains.
They scanned foetuses in utero in the second half of pregnancies. I mean, that’s in itself quite a feat. But they did it. And they found distinct differences in the development of male and female brains. Unfortunately, as with all physiologically based brain research, they don’t have a fucking clue what this actually means in the real world outside of an MRI picture. Although maybe MRI scans ARE the actually reality and where we live is just NOTHING!! Like The Matrix!!! In which case I’m not paying my council tax.
The boy foetuses got very excited when Match of the Day came on. Started really kicking off. And the girl babies were doing what looked like knitting in the womb. Strange.
But in fact speculation is all they can do. Because they still don’t really know how each bit of the brain works, more importantly, how the collective bits link and what results these differences might produce. But they ‘feel’ that girls may be more cautious by nature, boys ‘vulnerable and programmable’ (science speak for ‘stupid’).
Not sure you need a longitudinal study costing 72 million dollars to find that. Just go to any kids playground (I go WITH LILA, OK?) and you can see that with an alarming consistency.
Is it even fair though to assume such a non-binary, gender-inflexible, either/or paradigm in 2019? Hmmm…
Happy Monday, be careful out there (for the men), lighten up (for the women)
