  Female and male brains differ in both structure and function. Women's brains are about 10 percent smaller than men's. This explained that women tend to be less impulsive and more concerned with emotions than men are. Yet, when it comes to putting brains to work, women and men have their own areas of expertise. Men do better than women at spatial tasks such as thinking about rotating or manipulating an object. They're also better at navigating along a route and at high-end mathematical reasoning.
  
  Do you agree with this?
  * Men have bigger brains,but It doesn't make them smarter.
  * Women have better memories, worse sense of direction.
  * Women live Longer, but on average men are happier.

  A larger brain does not necessarily grant greater intelligence. It is generally understood that one needs to take into account the ratio of brain to body mass. Basically this means that the larger the body, the more of the brain will be devoted to "non-intelligent" tasks such as heat regulation and physical coordination. Taking this into account, males and females have roughly the same brain to body mass, and hence, almost identical levels of intelligence. This is a very interesting article. Good job Katy!
