Emotional Wiring Different in Men and Women - Yahoo! News


Women are the only ones who are able bear children. We as a species are driven to procreate. It makes sense that we women would need to be more in tune with our bodies than men. Everyone spends the first nine months of their lives inside their mother's belly. If something's off, a mother needs to know. This is where I think the difference between men and women's emotional wiring originates.
This study focuses on the amygdala. That's an almond-shaped structure found on both sides of the brain. Its primary function is to process memories for emotions. The scientist who did this current study published another one a few years ago demonstrating how when people face an emotionally-charged situation, men and women brains respond to it differently. Men process those emotional memories in the amygdala on the right side of the brain and women on the left. Fine. We deal to emotional situations differently.
Now it turns out the amygdala also acts differently between the sexes when it's not facing an emotional traumatic situation. A man's right hemisphere amygdala is more connected to sensors that respond to external events outside of the body. Whereas a woman's left hemisphere amygdala communicates with sensors that respond to what's going on inside the body. To me, this strongly suggests that men's primary emotional responsibility was for keeping an eye out for external dangers that could threaten the main evolutionary purpose of being human - to procreate. But for women, our emotional responsibility turned within to ensure a safe and healthy abode for offspring.
So while I've always joked about how it's too bad men can't help out and share the child bearing responsibility, the truth of it is they just don't have the right head space for that kind of job even if it were a remote biological possibility.
That's all right. Women are tough. And we're the only ones emotionally built to do the toughest around - having children.
