I wonder if it’s related to the fact that we’re female....
Supposedly the female brain, though it has 4% less cells than a man's, has more dendritic connections between brain cells and a larger corpus collusum. This means women can transfer data between the right and left hemisphere faster than men. Men tend to be more left brained, while women have greater access to both sides.
This gives women an advantage in cases of brain injury, like trauma or stroke. If a woman has a stroke in the left side of the brain, she may still have language "stuff" on the right side, and so finds it easier to relearn and to recover more rapidly and completely.
Or so they say!
