The Brains of Men and Women Are 'Wired Differently' 509
Rambo Tribble writes "Research out of the University of Philadelphia concludes there are major differences in the neural pathways in the brains of men and women. Men, they say, are wired more front-to-back, women more side-to-side. 'The results establish that male brains are optimized for intrahemispheric and female brains for interhemispheric communication. The developmental trajectories of males and females separate at a young age, demonstrating wide differences during adolescence and adulthood. The observations suggest that male brains are structured to facilitate connectivity between perception and coordinated action, whereas female brains are designed to facilitate communication between analytical and intuitive processing modes.' They propose this may explain why women have been found to be better multitaskers. Of course, this may also have ramifications for what skill and career proclivities each sex exhibits."

And the poisonous ideologies invented to justify it, and the pervasive violence employed to enforce it. For women's liberation through socialist revolution! Abolish the family!

Ah, this must explain why most programmers are women.

Of course it does...it comes with having a dick and wanting to get laid.
This part of the article:
Leads me to think this.....the male perception of wanting to get laid and seeing good looking females, that brain structure leads him to coordinated action on what he must do, how to act or what to tell the potential sex partner in order to get them to have consensual copulation with them.
Chicks wired for multi-tasking, that's good for the resulting offspring...keeping an eye on them while doing the housekeeping duties, etc.
Makes sense to me.

No one who is married needs to be told that men and women are wired differently.
For example, my wife seems to have a problem with my spending all my free-time playing Battlefield 4 and Need for Speed Rivals. She thinks family dinners and holiday celebrations and our anniversary should take precedence over a week of double-XP.
Clearly, her priorities are way out of whack. Yet, somehow it seems to work. Or at least it did until I stopped showering last Tuesday and she started insisting I sleep in the basement. But the joke's on her because that's where my gaming rig is set up.

Didn't you get the memo? Every difference between men and women is proof that the misogynists were right all along and the gender roles of the '50s are the most efficient way to do things.
