Why It’s Time To Ditch the ‘Female’ and ‘Male’ Brain Nonsense
New research reveals what many suspected all along — and more
If you’re a woman, chances are that you’ve been asked to organise someone else’s birthday party at some point in your life.
Or take notes during a work meeting where you’re not the lowest-level attendee. Or help clean up after a house party with plenty of other people left.
Because women are just better ‘at this stuff.’
We are naturally born multi-taskers, organisers, caretakers, and… cleaners. Unlike men, of course, who clearly wouldn’t know what to do with themselves if someone ever asked them to do any of the above.

And the findings from a recent human brain study unsurprisingly make it quite clear.
