Is it possible that you could be more aware of how the opposite gender works than you realize?

it's an argument that's as old as it is contentious: that male and female brains work differently.\n\nMichael Gurian, psychologist and author of "What Could He Be Thinking?" believes there are about a hundred structural differences that have been identified between the male and female brain.\n\n"Men, because we tend to compartmentalize our communication into a smaller part of the brain, we tend to be better at getting right to the issue," he said.\n\n"The more female brain (will) gather a lot of material, gather a lot of information, feel a lot, hear a lot, sense a lot," he said.\n\nScientists say males have more activity in mechanical centers of the brain, whereas females show more activity in verbal and emotional centers.\n\nThe differences can be noticed from early childhood, Gurian said, such as when an adult gives a child a doll.\n\n"That doll becomes life-like to that girl, but you give it to a two-year-old boy and you are more likely, not all the time, but you are more likely than not to see that boy try to take the head off the doll," he said.\n\n"He thinks spatial-mechanical. He's using the doll as an object".\n\nTo find out why these differences exist, scientists have taken voyages deep inside the gray matter using MRI scans.\n\nThe scans show that in most women, the corpus callosum area, which handles communication between the brain's two "hemispheres", is larger.\n\nIn layman's terms, it means that the two sides of the female brain "talk" better to each other -- which could explain why studies show women tend to multi-task better.\n\nOn the other hand, the scans show men tend to move information more easily within each hemisphere.\n\nIt all boils down to genes, according to Dr. Marianne Legato Partnership for Gender Specific Medicine Columbia University.\n\nWomen are born with two X chromosomes, and men with an X and a Y.\n\n"And on that Y chromosome are at least 21 unique genes unique to males which control many of the body's operations down to the level of the cells," Dr Legato said.\n\nShe also said those genetic differences explain other differences, like why men can drink more alcohol than women without becoming intoxicated.\n\n"Women do not have the enzyme in their stomach that degrades alcohol which men have," she said.\n\nUnfortunately it doesn't explain why some men leave the toilet seat up, or some women can't take out the garbage.

Melissa, we may "think" we know it all. But you know, deep down inside, that it is the female gender that knows more. We men get on our high-horses and fall off more often than not. You women get on and ride the horse all the way to the end.There are exceptions of course. But not enough to make a difference. \n\nMy hat goes off to women.

I agree, I always wondered that myself. I work with a lot of women who talk about women can do everything a man can do, but let a heavy box land in front of them and it's like they forgot everything they said about their abilities.

Men and women can generally act differently in a workplace or school.  Even if they don't act differently, we can think they act differently.\n\nIt's helpful to go to school with people of the other sex so that you get used to working with them, and you don't have to make that big adjustment later in life.

I doubt it. I also doubt that it is possible for women to understand men. Our brains work way too differently. Although we all can be understandING...

Yes...some of the answers may be difficult for her.  It's just not good for her to demonstrate guy stuff with you.

someone who thinks they are a man/woman trapped inside the other sex's body.

I think this might be a reason why women are smarter than men.

You are naturally one sex or another, but your gender identification can vary.

I'm thinkin you are fairly young--perhaps a Jr.high or high schooler..the thing is girls are not difficult they are just as complex as you are-- just that because you both think differently shouldn't make it a problem as you mature you will see that in a different light.. its hard tryin to figure out the opposite sex not just for you but for all ages..it makes life better not all thinking the same..you need to just relax a bit and not get flustered..The book Men are from Mars Women are from Venus is a good read depending on your age---it does shed some light on how the other thinks...

I am pretty sure I act the same around the opposite sex although you never know what you are doing subconsciously

If you feel you are a man in a woman's body or vice versa, I think it may be a good idea.  You will have to live as a member of the opposite sex for a while before the op.
