SCIENCE Is Real: Male And Female Brains Are Astonishingly Different

Shitlibs like to say “Science is real” to taunt those who refuse to abjectly humiliate themselves by parroting blatant equalist lies. Well, science THIS, libcranks:

Sex Differences in the Adult Human Brain: Evidence from 5216 UK Biobank Participants

Sex differences in the human brain are of interest for many reasons: for example, there are sex differences in the observed prevalence of psychiatric disorders and in some psychological traits that brain differences might help to explain. We report the largest single-sample study of structural and functional sex differences in the human brain (2750 female, 2466 male participants; mean age 61.7 years, range 44–77 years). Males had higher raw volumes, raw surface areas, and white matter fractional anisotropy; females had higher raw cortical thickness and higher white matter tract complexity. There was considerable distributional overlap between the sexes. Subregional differences were not fully attributable to differences in total volume, total surface area, mean cortical thickness, or height. There was generally greater male variance across the raw structural measures. Functional connectome organization showed stronger connectivity for males in unimodal sensorimotor cortices, and stronger connectivity for females in the default mode network. This large-scale study provides a foundation for attempts to understand the causes and consequences of sex differences in adult brain structure and function.

Delving into the contents of this research paper reveals that the structural differences in brain architecture between men and women are astonishingly large and notable.

The subcortical structures examined were the hippocampus, the nucleus accumbens, the amygdala, the caudate nucleus, the dorsal pallidum, the putamen, and the thalamus (Fig. S1). Raw volumetric sex differences are illustrated in Figure 1. The male distributions were further to the right, indicating higher means, and wider, indicating greater variance.

We first tested for mean sex differences in overall cortical and subcortical brain volumes, adjusting each measure for age and ethnicity…A set of Bayesian t-tests…confirmed that the mean sex differences were very large, with extremely strong evidence in favor of the hypothesis that males differed from females on every overall and subcortical volume.

…in the motor and somatosensory regions in the parietal lobe, the frontal pole, and the parahippocampal gyrus, females showed relatively higher thickness but males showed relatively higher volume and surface area. In the superior temporal lobe and orbitofrontal regions, males showed relatively higher volume and surface area, but there was no particular sex difference in thickness.

And on it goes, SCIENCE putting the lie to every feminist and equalist cherished belief about the interchangeability of men and women (and, soon, the cherished belief about the interchangeability of the races). lmao libs ur all gonna die? sure. but first, lmao libs ur all gonna have psychotic breakdowns as everything you hold dear and into which you have invested your egos will be crushed to dust and blown away on the winds.

What are the practical effects of all these impressively large sex-based brain differences? We see these brain differences play out every day in our lives. Men are better at math, women are more verbal, men are focused thinkers, women are multi-taskers, men are creative, women are conformist, men are cooperative, women are subversive, men are more physically aggressive, women are more psychologically aggressive, men are more driven, women are more nurturing, etc.

This isn’t social conditioning. This is biology. Stark, immutable, relentless biology. The only way shitlibs can achieve their (inevitably short-lived) utopia is if they mass lobotomize enemies of ZOG:

Of course, there is overlap in sex-based brain structure, just as there is overlap between hot and cold and between desert and grassland. That doesn’t invalidate the existence of differing categories. If sex-based brain structure didn’t overlap, we wouldn’t have Amanjaw Marcuntte and David Fatrelle.

But the overlap serves to prove the validity of the categorization.

A recent meta-analysis of sex differences in amygdala volume (Marwha et al. 2016) found that, although males showed larger raw volume, after correction for total brain volume there was no longer an appreciable sex difference. However, in our study the amygdala was significantly, but modestly, larger in males even after adjusting for total brain volume (d = 0.18 bilaterally).

Eenteresting. The amygdala is involved with threat detection. Might this explain why women, with their itsy bitsy amygdalae, push for open borders and can’t perceive the threat from inviting millions of racially incompatible foreigners into one’s homeland?

Guess we’ll just have to do something about that, like pump women full of amygdala growth activators until their attitudes change and they vote more reasonably.
