It appears that men and women may be wired differently so the sex differences we see in every day actions may be more than just testosterone:-http://www.the-scientist.com//?articles.view/articleNo/38539/title/Male-and-Female-Brains-Wired-Differently/-Another version:-http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=how-mens-brains-are-wired-differently-than-women

I love how the first article(near the end) tried to call the study sexist and that it reinforces gender role stereotypes. That whole topic is annoying.

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.

To me, that is like claiming the sky is not blue.

To me, that is like claiming the sky is not blue.-Some feminist ladies (?) want to be considered equivalent to boys. They should instead be proud of their feminine state.

If male brains are more connected back to front and female brains are more connected side to side then this presumably means that anyone's brain can be assessed for these two types of connectedness. Maybe corresponds to animus and anima as in Jung? -Presumably side to side connection accounts for "lateral thinking"!

And when you consider the measures our government ministers are taking to help the poor (cut their benefits), tend the sick (cut beds and staff), create social equality (cut taxes for the rich) etc., you might say they offer prime examples of masculine back to front thinking.

Front to back is analagous to push and shove.
