Of Course most of us New this.









[A pioneering study has shown for the
first time that the brains of men
and women are wired up differently
which could explain some of the
stereotypical differences in male
and female behaviour, scientists have said.]

Does this mean for people who consider themselves transgender can now seek help from the scientists using this test to determine if they are male or female ??

[Kizzy]

I doubt it, I thought the right/left hemisphere dominance was well established as a factor?
More males being seen as left dominant and female right, doesn't mean there aren't females that are left and males right?
Or there are split brain thinkers whose dominance is equal, my daughter is one.

I will never cease to be amazed at the b*ll*cks some scientists spend their grants on.

[the truth]

certainly highlights the fact we need more male teachers for kids , to offer some more balance....the number of male teachers is a pathetic 12% of the total teachers.....If that figure was the other way round feminists would be up in arms....feminism is now destroying our childrens education and mainstream media is too scared to say anything about it. Ill now be called a troll. well Im not I 10000% genuinely know this is the main problem.

Does that statistic apply to highschools as well as primary? My high school (Scotland, so that's age 11 - 18) had roughly a 50/50 split I would say. But, my Primary School had a measly one male teacher out of 15, and he left when I was about 8 (I never actually had him as a teacher) leaving an all-female staff. Just wondering if the 12% is for any specific stage of education or all stages combined. If it is a combined statistic, I don't think it's as much of a problem; on the whole, younger children do better with more nurturing females as caregivers (obvious evolutionary reasons for this) and I personally don't think focussed education needs to start until high-school age. That said... with an ever-increasing number of single parent (usually mother) families, maybe it WOULD be beneficial to have a better split at primary school age, as there are a lot of children growing up without many adult males in their lives...

I look forward to your research paper with great anticipation.

glad ou agree...12% is a major problem and the media and the politicians should have addressed this years ago...clearly the feminists don't care.
women teachers vastly outnumber men at every age of education, in fact under the age of 8 in the usa only 2% of teachers are men....2% that's just sad, for those kids with no fathers they have no male role models in their lives, tragic

What kind of humor do you deem appropriate, now that rcasm is off the table?
