re: #256 karmic_inquisitor

My son tells me that women’s brains have a higher concentration of white cells where as men are almost entirely gray cells which apparently makes women better multitaskers than men. Men’s brains are supposed to be better geared towards “deep” and narrow thinking. That’s what he tells me that he learned in a Biology class - haven’t bothered to check it out except to be inclined to agree with it from my own observations.

Umm, no such thing as “white cells” and “grey cells.” The “white matter” is composed of the “wires” running between different areas of “grey matter.” If women had more white matter, they would have more connections between their cortical cells. This theoretically could allow them to think more creatively, or alternatively it might just make them confused. ;-)
