Why men don't iron?

During the last fifty years psychologists have made us believe that differences between men and women are mainly the result of traditional social “conditioning” i.e the way we are brought up.

According to the theory women can be trained to do jobs that men traditionally do, and men can and should be in touch with his “feminine side”, more communicative and emotional, and should do the ironing.

According to recent scientific research, gender differences exist because men’s and women’s brains work completely differently and their biological differences mean that they can never think or behave in the same way.

Try this experiment: read a passage aloud from a book or magazine. At the same time, tap on the table with one finger, and try to maintain a constant speed. Do this first with your right hand and then with your left hand.

If you are a woman, you will be able to maintain a constant speed with either hand. Men however, when tapping with their left hand, will slow down.

This is one of the many experiments which proves that men’s brains are in compartments, with verbal abilities on the left side and spatial abilities on the right. For women, however, verbal and spatial problems are dealt with on both the left and right sides of the brain.
