The Tyranny of the Left

[UltraBudgie]

That was interesting but not really surprising. I wonder if that too can somehow account for the differences between men and women to some degree. I say that in the sense of how some studies have shown that the corpus callosum in females might be a little thicker.

We also have intuitively always separated the left from the right, even the words themselves suggest differences.

My thirteen year old granddaughter is autistic and completely trapped in the left hemishere. There is real panic and anxiety when she cant control or understand something.
I have had conversations with her explaining how the left and right hemispheres differ and why one is regarded as feminine and the other masculine.

I've seen those studies -- if I remember correctly, there was a fairly big deal made about them a few years ago, and then some retraction made when it turns out the results weren't as advertised.

People really want to think they've figured out something about the difference between men and women! Oh, if only. I'm doubt there's an fMRI machine that magical.

I'm sorry to hear about your granddaughter. She sort of sounds like a wonderful person. Sometimes I think those who don't feel uncomfortable and trapped in this world are the broken ones.
