Male and female – equal, but different – using brain science findings

New research findings have revealed that our brains are sexed just as surely as our bodies and that the differences between the male and female brain are much greater than we used to think.

The brain's 'sex' influences all of our behaviour (including how we learn, relate to and care for others, and maintain our mental health), as well as how we perceive, and think about, the world – these are crucial differences which we cannot afford to ignore.

Indeed, ignorance of the biologically influenced sex differences is damaging society. In education, for example, we harm both sexes with the gender neutral curriculum, but especially the boys – they get the lowest grades, are diagnosed with the most behavioural disorders, make up 80% of school drop outs and perpetrate 94% of juvenile crime.

Understanding the brain sex differences is also a vital key to improving male/female relationships – the common cause of so much emotional suffering. Anne Moir's fascinating day therefore contains essential knowledge for us all.
