I have never believed in the equality of men and women. Don’t take me otherwise, I always believed (and that was before the Venus-Mars series came out) that there are significant differences between men and women and comparing them on the same plane is a futile exercise.

I was reminded of the above thought after coming across this very interesting piece of information. It was about a group of scientists who are working on how languages affect the brain of men and women. They discovered that there were considerable differences in the way the brains of men and women reacted to various language related tasks.

The experiments and studies involved a number of language exercises which were undertaken by men and women with low and high verbal fluency.  The scientists found that there was greater activation of language regions in men’s brains than in women’s.

Of course more tests are required to get accurate and conclusive results, but for the time being the above stands. As for me, I am waiting for tests which determine which sex is wired for better language translation capabilities. ;-)
