TIL: males have 25% more neurons in the visual cortex than females - eviltoast

The eyes have it: Men do see things differently to women

The way that the visual centers of men and women’s brains works is different, finds new research published in BioMed Central’s open access journal Biology of Sex Differences. Men have greater sensitivity to fine detail and rapidly moving stimuli, but women are better at discriminating between colors.

    At the very least it makes a good exercise in questioning facts to make sure you are not coming to faulty conclusions by misunderstanding.

      I dont think we need to tread so lightly around this topic, since we already know that brain mass does not directly tie to intelligence from the simple fact that women have smaller brains on average but are not less mentally capable than men.

      Nobody arguing or even just reading this in good faith would try to frame this as women being mentally inferior.
