Gender Pros & Cons
Advantages of being male:-
Advantages of being female:-
- ...most experts agree that women have the advantage in very
many ways when it comes to brains. they are better protected against
damage and less prone to problems such as autism, dyslexia, language
difficulty, colour blindness, schizophrenia, attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Tourette's syndrome and virtually every
brain disorder, both those which are there at birth and those which
develop later in life. In later life, men lose brain cells faster and
are more likely to develop memory problems. (Nicola Morgan in her book Blame My Brain, p.120)
- ...females tend to use both sides of the brain while using
language... Using both halves of the brain may explain why women tend
to recover speech better after brain injury and find language easier in
general.(Nicola Morgan in her book Blame My Brain, p.120)
Disadvantages of being female:-
- Violence Pandemic. Over one-in-three women worldwide experience physical or sexual violence, often from their intimate partner (WHO cited by CNN,
posted 20 June 2013, accessed 11 July 2014; also see The Guardian). This is likely to be an
underestimate. One in three women will be raped, beaten, sexually
coerced, trafficked or otherwise abused in her lifetime (UNIFEM [United
Nations Women's Development Fund], 2003, cited here, accessed 11 July 2014).
