Yes

2025-12-04 11:13:23 UTC

2025-12-04 11:13:28 UTC

I think there has to an inherent difference

There was a historical perspective that female brains was right-sided dominant and the male brain was left-sided

2025-12-04 11:13:52 UTC

my thought is that at the very least, the differing effects of hormones mean that the brains are 'different'?

2025-12-04 11:14:10 UTC

2025-12-04 11:14:11 UTC

No structural differences but the different levels of hormones make us use the brain in different ways

Maybe a self-controlled one due to the strength of social conditioning but not an actual biological one?

2025-12-04 11:14:21 UTC

I don't see why not: same anatomy, but most likely differences in development due to biological and social environment

2025-12-04 11:14:25 UTC

I think potential differences, but also differences between male vs. male and female vs. female - environmental factors playing a role

2025-12-04 11:14:45 UTC

yes based on genes in the X and Y chromosomes and then potential different receptors activation . Also due to epigenetic factors

2025-12-04 11:15:05 UTC

2025-12-04 11:42:50 UTC

Really great lecture, thank you

More on the biology of the female vs male brain

2025-12-04 11:42:53 UTC

This has been great! Would a follow lecture up digging into the role of culture/religion/family

2025-12-04 11:43:00 UTC

Further information/discussion on the current state of play in healthcare in relation to gender

2025-12-04 11:43:34 UTC

Brain changes that occur during parenthood, such as increased responsiveness to children's need, increased empathy to others, reduced grey matter etc... that occurs for both genders depending on time spent with child

2025-12-04 11:43:47 UTC

Maybe the psychological implications across roles and assignments

2025-12-04 11:43:52 UTC

very insightful. would like to learn about raising children as gender fluid/no gender

2025-12-04 11:43:53 UTC

vulnerabilities

2025-12-04 11:47:09 UTC

maybe some acknowledgement of the physical/social stresses that different sexes experience (e.g. for females - periods, feeling unsafe/more vulnerable to sexual assault), that feel so integral to being female (and for many - integral to being a woman), and which can make it hard when someone chooses to move between the two genders, as they have not had to experience the same
