Men's Brains, Women's Brains

Men's Brains are made of little boxes. Women's brains are like wires. Mark Gungor. Mark was at Woodland Community Church in Bradenton in 2008

This comedy should be on TED, it fits exactly my personal experience. This is almost exactly the way it is between my husband and I, he definitely has an "empty" box and I am way more analytical for every situation.

I’m only anaylical when I’m giving advice. But when I’m by myself my brain is super empty, and I’m a woman. Like I just be chillin playing video games.

[@chercw]

He's funny. He's not pretending to be scientific. My husband watched with me and copped to the "Nothing" box. Just saying from my big ball of wire! LOL Hormones!

[@fraiser3330]

😂😂😂😂

[@kdbrown777]

Alternate title for nothing box: the sanity box. It's what keeps men sane. :)

I CAN TELL YOU.I DIFFER IN ALMOST ALL OF THINGS THAT MAN DOES AND I DO..MEN THINK TOTALLY OFF THE WALL FROM MY THINKING.

[@retroradify]

I'm a woman. I've been told by many of my confidants that I'm one of the most rational, calm, and logical people they have ever met. I've won awards for my work in logic and philosophy, and I'm a tier 1 law student. The attitudes this man is reinforcing are wrongheaded and just a quick glance at the comments on this thread demonstrate how they rationalize sexist behavior. Gender is not a binary system and there is no reason one needs to let instinctual tendencies or societal pressure govern.

Clearly your emotional response shows that what he's saying is true. That's why you just read into what this and connected the wires just the way he described.

[@farber2]

I think he's fairly close. think of one specific aspect of something, and stay there till you solve it, or bounce around and see what alternatives are.

Larry Cahill, associate professor of neurobiology at UC Irvine, and Louann Brizendine, neuropsychiatrist at UC San Francisco both have published extensively on recent findings that show clear anatomical differences in men's and women's brains. They strongly disagree with you.

[@astrammd]

Enough difference to distinguish male from female on autopsy?

[@akstebbens]

@Rybot9000: actually, there are significant differences that begin to occur in early fetal development, when the male brain gets bathed in testosterone while the femail brain gets very little.

[@Calixtus]

@Rybot9000 I am proud to find at least one American male who knows pride enough to deny this distorted and humiliating opinion of the masculine. From a rational perspective, there is very little to suggest there should be any substantial form of difference between a man and a woman. The difference asserted so strongly by the public's view on this does not match up to or is replicated within the natural world. For this I ask, do dogs think differently from bitches? You have your answer.

[@HenryPage]

@SirFrancisDashwood15 "Women, on the other hand, pull stuff out of thin air that have absolutely nothing to do with whatever conversation you're having with them" What an utterly ludicrous generalisation. Have you had any experience of argument above graduate level?

[@janihutri650]

What's the title of this original show.

[@royroy3]

This is funny but great advice..

[@alliecat1941]

I HARDLY HAVE ANYTHING IN COMMON WITH A MANS WAY OF THINKING.

[@Rokass99]

@nerdpantish Yeah, that's why he's speaking logically.

[@pineapplescoconuts]

funny and true!!

[@HenryPage]

@rpdarrow The tone of your reply tends to imply that you are not as knowledgeable as you make out. Of course in-utero development has an impact on neurological structure of the female; but in-utero development simply means foetal development. Such a state is hardly permanent, is it? (unless you are one of 'those' estate mothers with 12 children and an inability to say 'no'). Why don't you explain to us what the distinct neurological construct differences between the male and female brain are?

Anyone here from 90day fiance?

[@chercw]

@SoCalxHeartbreaker ROTFL! We have our days! Bet your single! LOL!

[@yakitoriPB]

@SirFrancisDashwood15 I agree wholeheartedly. Logic

[@Amperzand]

So let me get this right: the academics who are arguing about who knows the most, are (ahem) - male. Jeez, chill out, it's FUN!

[@unicornsplayxboxtoo]

@jayc342009 Yes I have, Dont need to be angry so much..

[@socalbonzi]

@unicornsplayxboxtoo by responding to his comment in this manner, aren't you indeed contradicting yourself and actually agreeing with him by trying to win this argument?

[@Susky97]

No matter what category you place his humor in, hes plagiarized this from Margaret Atwood. Her essay The Female Body from the mid 1980s uses this same analogy related to male and female thinking (individual boxes vs. hardwiring). Whatever you think of his shtick, hes not being terribly original.

[@akaRazz2]

@Rybot9000 Lighten up.

[@bab008]

Adam.....shhhhhhhhhh! 😊

[@physphilmusic]

Your post does nothing but simply demonstrate your irrationality. The fact that you can be calm and rational says nothing about the majority of other women. There will always be outliers whenever we try to talk about a certain group of people. Sure enough, there is "no reason one needs to let instinctual tendencies govern". But most of us, male or female, have difficulty to overcome even the mildest instincts. The result is that the majority of women will act in a different way to men.
