Description
Gender Equality here people! The most sensitive gender issue on the face of the Earth right? I hear you... But do you know one of the oldest myths about gender centres on the fact that women have smaller brains, which was considered evidence for intellectual inferiority? While it’s true that, on average, women’s brains are smaller, by about 10%, there are several problems with this assumption. Despite the fact that there is an average difference in size, the overall overlap in the distributions of men and women’s brains is huge. “So that you get women with big brains and men with small brains.”
It’s worth noting that Einstein’s brain was smaller than that of the average male, and overall, many studies find that there is next to no mean difference between men and women’s intelligence or behavioural traits. Yet the claims continue to persist everywhere in the society. REFERENCES: 1. United Nations University Scholarships 2. humanrightscareers.com 3.
