Beyond the missing 5 ounces of female brain “Gina Rippon” leading voice against bad Neuro-sexism says –Hunt for proof of women’s inferiority has more recently elided into hunt for proof of male female complementarity.
Female brain has tremendous unique aptitude – outstanding verbal agility, ability to connect deeper friendship and love psychic capacity to read faces, tone of voice for emotions, state of mind ability to diffuse conflict, nurturing the young ones. These are talents women are hardwired with those men frankly are not says neuroscientist “Lise Elliott”.
Women outperform Men on tests requiring recognition of emotions or relationships as evidenced by large Ventral prefrontal cortex, straight gyrus.
Women friendships are deeply enigmatic, not just “I help you and you help me”. It’s beyond back scratching relationships of men; with evolutionary traits of greater communication over agency traits of men.
Now that it’s a known fact that XX Brain is different from XY with superior memory verbal abilities and multitasking.
Though we find it content to speculate and debate over such cognitive abilities, when it comes to mental health the difference is baffling! International epidemiological data indicates rates of 20 to 40% higher psychological disorders in women than men.

You are unique experiment of sexual selection; you have never happened before and never again! This is because genetic factors, temperament, life experiences playing a unique role in uniqueness.
Darwin proposed that female choices might be the driving force for sexual selection, (If you believe it might be because she was better at keeping herself alive, surviving birth, manoeuvring through danger, monitoring safety of a young ones.
If there is no variance in women’s reproductive success, then one woman is interchangeable with another.
So, each woman is different from one another provide fodder for competition and selection –
Thus, I conclude XX is unique across gender and within gender!
