>>27681476First off, I'm not getting offended, insulted, or upset. People can disagree with you and think you're full of shit without being triggered tumblrinas.
Secondly, none of this is "psych 101". I took AP psych in high school and I took Cognitive Psychology last semester, and nowhere in there was there a slide saying "men are more logical, women are more emotional."
If you have any sort of evidence for saying that girls are better at solving math while boys are better at thinking up solutions, now is the time to present it. That claim doesn't seem at all obvious to me - more mathematicians throughout history have been men, but that's not saying much when women were actively blocked from that field. If anything, I'd think that men are better at quickly solving math problems when they know the technique. After all, that's pretty much what the SAT math section is, and boys do a fair bit better on that than girls do.
Like I said previously, women DO express their emotions more and acknowledge other people's emotions more, but that doesn't tell us jack shit about their internal decision-making. You can make a dumb decision because you're angry whether or not you've talked to anybody about it.
Now, some differences in brain structure have been proven. Go ahead and check this article out:
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-mens-brains-are-wired-differently-than-women/Notice:
>The results suggest that male brains may be optimized for motor skills, and female brains may be optimized for combining analytical and intuitive thinking. I don't know what that sounds like to you, but to me that sure doesn't sound like "men's brains are wired to be more logical"
This will be my last post in this thread, so if you still aren't convinced, I'll leave you be. I used to think pretty much exactly like you, but then I stopped being 14.
