They needed a story for that??!!!???
LOL.
At least 3 times as much...
....
Well, that explains volumes
someone actually gets paid for this?
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus
Hope they didn't spend to much for this study.
I didn't need a study to tell me that ping.
2nd guy: They don't keep their mouths shut long enough to build up presure.
This story was three times longer than it needed to be. Apparently it affects writing too.
These scientists have obviously not been around male and female children. The differences are inherent and social conditioning plays a very limited role.
I can't believe ANY scientists are still pushing the "sex differences are caused by social conditioning" crap.
After marriage, the frequency differential seems to diverge even more.
But what the male brain may lack in converstation and emotion, they more than make up with in their ability to think about sex.
Dr Brizendine says the brain's "sex processor" - the areas responsible for sexual thoughts - is twice as big as in men than in women, perhaps explaining why men are stereotyped as having sex on the mind."
Is this article satire?
Women drivers with cellphones stuck to their ear, and that's easily 95% of them, should be outlawed. They should be treated like DUI offenders, they're nearly as dangerous.

We hold these truths to be self-evident...
It's gotta be satire.
I'll never forget this one time a boss of mine needed to wipe his glasses. A coworker had tissues on her desk and he headed toward them. She said,
"Those have lotion in them." (he keeps walking)
"Those have lotion in them." (he reaches for a tissue)
"Those have lotion in them." (he wipes his glasses with tissue.)
Boss: "Argh! These have lotion in them!"
Not to be the thread police, but here is yesterday's thread with the usual sarcastic FReeper replies.
Ah yes...a buzz. Now that's scientific.
the simple act of talking triggers a flood of brain chemicals which give women a rush similar to that felt by heroin addicts when they get a high
Oh now I understand because everybody knows all about heroin. Oy.
The book - written by a female psychiatrist - says that inherent differences between the male and female brain explain why women are naturally more talkative than men. In The Female Mind, Dr Luan Brizendine says women devote more brain cells to talking than men.
Devote more brain cells, NEED to devote more brain cells, EXPEND more brain cells, WASTE more brain cells...so many ways to "say" not quite the same thing with fewer words.
Dr Brizendine, a self-proclaimed feminist, says the differences can be traced back to the womb, where the sex hormone testosterone moulds the developing male brain. The areas responsible for communication, emotion and memory are all pared back the unborn baby boy.
Pared back or streamlined?
"Women have an eight-lane superhighway for processing emotion, while men have a small country road," said Dr Brizendine, who runs a female "mood and hormone" clinic in San Francisco.
Exactly what is "processing emotion". It seems to me that the eight-lane superhighway is oftentimes overwhelmed and gridlocked. It sure doesn't seem like an advantage. Particularly if a "mood and hormone" clinic is necessary to tend the roadway.
Dr Brizendine explains that testosterone also reduces the size of the section of the brain involved in hearing - allowing men to become "deaf" to the most logical of arguments put forward by their wives and girlfriends.
Again, "reduces" or "streamlines and finely tunes"? Further, why the assumption that the arguments coming from so much talk is "logical"? It seems to me that logic is not a byproduct of the eight-lane superhigway for processing emotion but is drowned out by all that traffic. But I guess we'll leave that to the "mood and hormone" clinics to sort out.
Surely there are differences between men and women. Of that I have no doubt. Surely those differences are all valuable. I suspect the writer was looking for ways to justify all that heroin buzz she was getting from just talking to these researchers about her brain.
