  5. Experts have discovered that there are actually differences in the way women’s and men’s brains are structured and in the way they react to events and stimuli. • Human relationships. Women tend to communicate more effectively than men • Left brain vs. both hemispheres. Men tend to process better the left hemisphere of the brain • Mathematical abilities. An area of the brain called the inferior-parietal lobule (IPL) is typically significantly larger in men • Reaction to stress. Men tend to have a "fight or flight" response while women seem to approach with a “tend and befriend” strategy • Language. Two sections of the brain responsible for language were found to be larger in women than in men • Emotions. Women typically have a larger deep limbic system than men • Brain size. Typically, men’s brains are 11-12% bigger than women’s but this size difference has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence • Pain. Men and women perceive pain differently - women perceive pain more intensely than do men. • Spatial ability. Men typically have stronger spatial abilities • Susceptibility to disorders. Because of the different use of the two hemispheres there are some disorders • that men and women are susceptible to in different ways Fact nr. 2: There is SCIENTIFIC PROOF for that
