Neuroscience research has identified innate physiological differences in brain structure that makes women naturally superior when it comes to rational decision-making, judgment, planning, organization, impulse control, abstract thought, communication, negotiation, consensus building, multi-tasking, and memory control. In other words, “[a]natomically women have the brains it takes to be extraordinary leaders” and “are wired to hold positions of power and run the world.” Specifically:
Women
have larger, and more active prefrontal cortexes than males. The
female prefrontal cortex also develops more quickly, fully developing by age 21
but the male prefrontal cortex does not fully develop until age 25. The
Prefrontal Cortex is the executive function system of the brain, responsible
for most decision-making, judgment, planning, organization, impulse control,
and abstract thought. Woman’s larger and more active prefrontal cortices thus
gives them innate advantages in all these areas.
A
related region of the brain involved in rational decision making is the
anterior cingulated cortex. Like the Prefrontal Cortex, the Anterior
Cingulated Cortex is larger in female brains than male brains, further
increasing women’s superior rational decision-making capabilities.
Males relatively
underdeveloped prefrontal cortex is the underlying physiological reason “responsible for a lot of men’s shortcomings,” including why males are less mature than
females. “With an immature PFC, even though” males “can
intellectualize dangerous situation or poor behavior, they may engage
regardless.”
Scientists have likewise identified sex
differences in neurochemical processing that makes male brains more susceptible to nuerochemicals that
promote impulsive and aggressive behavior, further aggravating the problem of
male immaturity.
Women likewise have larger and a more active hippocampus—the brain’s memory center, which in turns gives women superior abilities in not only forming and recalling memories but also verbally communicating the information contained in their memories.
Women’s brains likewise have more neurons devoted to language processing, which makes women superior communicators, negotiators, and consensus builders.
Female brains also employ an order of magnitude more “white matter”—neural structures responsible for connecting and coordinating different processing centers—when processing information. This gives women a far superior ability to multi-task and avoid the “tunnel-vision” to which male brains are susceptible.
