Females may be ready to rule the world in the 21st century. Contraception has been around for less than half a century and Doctor Brizendine says that this is the key to the end of female subservience. Here's an excerpt from an interesting interview at the New York Times;
How big is the average male brain?
It’s about the size of a cantaloupe. It’s 9 to 10 percent larger than the female brain.
But the size of one’s brain is unrelated to one’s level of intelligence, right?
Yes. Remember, the female brain
has more connections between the two hemispheres, and we have 11 percent more brain cells in the area of the brain called the planum temporale, which has to do with perceiving and processing language.
If women have superior verbal skills, why have they been subservient to men in almost all societies?
Because of pregnancy. Before birth control, in the 1700s and 1800s, middle-class women were pregnant between 17 and 22 times in their lifetimes. All these eons upon eons, while Socrates and all these guys were sitting around thinking up solutions to problems, women were feeding hungry mouths and wiping smelly behinds.
