This is a topic for the women of ozpolitic..but guys may comment.

The topic is ..

Why are men and women so different in how they interpret life and situations..

Is it hormones-social conditoning-or something else.

Some women say men can only manage  one task at a time and only use one half of they're brain at a time..

Women can multitask, but men cant.

What does this say about the way male and female brains function

Is Homer a good representation of average male intelligence?


mmmm...maybe

It has to be a combination of hormones and genetics.  You look at two children being brought up in the same household - one boy and one girl.  In most cases the girl becomes multi-skilled almost automatically - whereas the boy tends to be more basically physical and gravitate towards sport.  Try teaching a boy to sew or fold his clothes up neatly - he might give it a half hearted attempt, but the interest isn't there or the ability to make a habit of it.  On the other hand, most girls have no interest in racing their bike along a rough dirt track or taking their skateboard down to the local skatepark.  In every way males and females are equal - they just gravitate towards different interests.

Of course this doesn't apply to all girls and boys - but probably the majority. 

Different cultural expectations placed upon them.
