We can use both sides of the brain at the same time!
why is it wrong??
And that female brains have more connections between the two halves.
Physics are my fav.)
Gyrlz hat-ez maths bewause girls is so stooopwyd.
The corpus callosum connects the two hemispheres the same way in every brain irrespective of gender.And you can function almost perfectly if you manage to snap it.
*bites Bob's hand off anyway* 2 minos 1 = 3 ... 0 ... 1
2 handezes minos 1 handez = 3 ... 0 ... 1 handez
That's why we use a pencil. *points to the eraser.*
Penecillin? I just don't understand any of that. Of course I'm guy with a giant brian, so... all the more perplexing.

I haven't heard it called Brian before
It's a derivative f(x) = Brainf'(x) = Brian
https://www.pbs.org/parents/raisinggirls/brains/nature.html"•Female brains have more synapses (connections) than male brains."That looked more credible but there are other sites saying the same thing. I'm sure there's a more authoritative one than PBS but I don't feel like searching.And we have bigger, heavier brains, us mens.
Why do I hate math? Because it's hard for me! At fifteen I still struggle with the details, and I try my hardest to solve the problems. I do NOT do bare minimum, I try to LEARN, and do BETTER.
Are my parents (my teachers) sexists or biased? NO.
I just DON'T. like. math. period.
I have a friend who doesn't like math.Are her parents (her teachers) biased or sexist? No.Are her brother and sister (who help her) biased or sexist? No.I have ANOTHER friend who doesn't like math.Her parents also teach her. Are they biased or sexist? No.
Are any of these mentioned above stereotyping? No!
Don't you think a girl has the brain capacity to know whether she's good at something or not? Are we really that STUPID to believe that our teacher's "math phobia" somehow magically transferred to our brains? Or that someone's stereotypical brainwaves tiptoed into our brains disabling the math-functioning part of them?
Written in books of history are stories of how women were looked down upon, and thought lesser than men. Did that sexism stop them or make them think they could never do things just as well as men and underestimate themselves? No! They pushed harder to do what they wanted!
Yes, it's a given that men will always do some things better than women, but that is nature.
-No, in case your wondering, I'm not a feminist
African-Americans were put down, and thought stupid. Did this stereotyping stop them? Did it somehow bewitch them causing their brains to shrivel up and not be able to perform anything as well as those who put them down? No! They fought on and proved themselves just as smart and as brilliant as ANYBODY else!
I really hate it when people post stuff like this. It's all air-brained assumptions with nothing to base it on but scientific idiocy.
If stereotypes, phobias and biases were causing the problem, nobody on EARTH would be able to perform ANY action.
I mean no disrespect by this post; only only giving my opinion on the matter as you did.
When it comes to math, do not mess around. Everybody knows girls are better at math! We can use both sides of the brain at the same time! ( I was told that by a boy though...)
me=wafflechicks=spaghetti
Damn you!Your post made me very hungry...now I have to cook Well, I think I can manage to bake that pizza from the freezer...
outin i worry about you. brains make you hungry? you might be a zombie.that's okay, i'm sure you are a very pretty zombie. that likes brain pizza. but a pretty one still.
I always wondered what the grayish thing was on the pizza...Wouldn't mind being a zombie I guess, as long as my fingers would not crumble on the keys...But I would never wear something like that!
From what I've read, there is a gender difference where girls look at math in more practical ways instead of abstractly. This is fundamentally wrong, as far as math processing goes. It's like a computer processor trying to find out how to access the internet. That's the user's job, not the processor. The processor's job is to make the computations to get you there. If any of your teachers have ever lined you up by gender, boys and girls line, or ever said "boys and girls", they hold sexist attitudes. (I just found out that this is illegal, BTW.) Also the research doesn't bear out your statement. Hidden biases are present, but because few people know what it looks like in practice, no one labels these behaviors as sexist.In order not to like something like math, you have to have had a negative experience with it sometime in the past. It's not like broccoli which contains chemicals that many children are adverse to. In this case, there is a biological reason not to like broccoli as a child. But as for math, there is no biological reason to hate math unless you've had negative experiences in the past.We all have biases. For example, I don't like most black people. I also don't like racists. But not liking most black people doesn't mean I'm a racist. All parents have biases, even sexist ones. It's subtle, e.g. dressing up the girl as a princess on Halloween, or saying how "pretty" she is, etc. A bias based on presumed traits is stereotyping. It is virtually impossible for a person not to hold stereotypes and act according to them. The brain is limited in this respect to make thought processes faster. Stereotypes is a way that relieves the brain from having to think.Dunning-Kreuger Effect: those who are stupid are too stupid to know they are stupid.The vast majority of women conceded to their gender roles. They didn't push harder to get what they wanted. If the idea of gender equality never came into Western consciousness, they'd still be baking bread at home while taking care of their children.There are few things that men do better than women because of their sex, like muscle strength.Neither am I.They prefer to be called black, not African-Americans. If what you say is true, then why do black people do so poorly in school? Why are black dropout rates higher than any other racial group? Why are most prisoners black? Why do blacks think getting good grades are bad? Because they think that they are stupid and are aware of the negative stereotypes of blacks. Look up "stereotype threat".I did include links to some scientific literature. It's not air-brained assumptions. It's based on decades of study and research. Actually, stereotypes are what makes the world easier to function. If you know you've had good experiences with something in the past, the same is expected in the future. This is a stereotype/heuristic processing. If you've had bad experiences with something, then you'd expect that in the future. This is why Muslims are the new black. The same happened with the Japanese and the Chinese and the Jews and the Irish... The same is sort of happening with Hispanics, but Hispanic population is so large that it's difficult target them as a group.There's no need to apologize for stating your opinion. This isn't a communist forum.
In speaking of physics, the other day my physics teacher tried to teach me the physics of skateboarding. He told me that every time I try a trick I should die. What the freaking heck?! He's soooooo ugly for saying that!
1:39 seems much more likely to happen
Sheesh. There is SO much wrong with that whole post, I almost have nothing to say.My parents are NOT biased. To say so is rude, especially since you don't even know them. They have no "hidden" biases that they are "unaware" of.
From what you're saying, we can't say a boy is handsome or a girl is pretty for being biased. If this was true then every compliment anybody has ever payed a person has been sexist.If saying "boys and girls" is sexist, we might as well blot the words boy, girl, men, and women from the English dictionary, and refer to every body as "that person".Infact, let's remove all gender!
I also said "scientific idiocy" that means I believe the scientific information provided is stupid. In fact, how can we trust the scientific information? IT MIGHT BE BIASED. The person who wrote it could be SEXIST. Heavens above! We just can't trust anybody can we?
It's sad to see our culture becoming so brainwashed these days.
Teachers need to teach students how to USE their brains not just believe any fatuous information that comes their way.
As for the rest of it, I don't even know how to respond. I don't know how anybody could even THINK to believe that information.
It sounds worse than it is because bias is portrayed as a negative thing. It not. It's actually neutral. We qualify it as negative or positive depending on context but mostly, when "bias" is used, it is used in the negative context. Here's an example of bias: you're parents care more about you than they do about other children. If you say they don't have any biases, then they should care the same about other children than they do you. But they don't. They are biased toward you.The language refers to gender which is neutral. How we interpret that language is biased. It reminds us of our gender which leads us to act according to the stereotype. Acting in accordance to a stereotype is called "stereotype threat". This is why when blacks are reminded of their race before taking a test, they do badly on the test because blacks are supposed to be stupid. You see similar behaviors for girls when it comes to certain subjects, like math or science, for example.In Sweden, they are attempting to rid gender discrimination by using the gender neutral pronoun "hen".https://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2012/04/hen_sweden_s_new_gender_neutral_pronoun_causes_controversy_.htmlIf you think science is idiotic, then why are you using the internet? Why do you wear cloths that were designed on a computer? Manufactured using machines? On synthetic materials? Transported on ships?Why do you even go to the doctor? Without science, going to the doctor was a terrifying experience since bloodletting and giving you arsenic to cure your ills was standard treatment. It's no longer done because bloodletting and arsenic kills you. It was the scientific process that showed that this was the case and alternatives were developed, tested, and used. The care you get at the doctor is very different from the care just 50 years ago, thanks to the scientific process.Not brainwashed, but kept ignorant. Ignorance is not bliss. It's what compelled you to respond to this thread, and I appreciate that you did respond.Most teachers don't know how to teach. They teach the way they were taught which may or may not be effective for learning. Most teachers, like most people, don't think. How can a person who doesn't think teach others to think? Thinking, btw, is metabolically expensive. It's not in an organisms best interest to think since it uses so much energy. (The brain is 2% body mass but uses 20% of all the energy.) Forgetting is actually a survival advantage since a memory of something that is unused uses energy.And here's the thing about knowledge: you have to have knowledge to understand. If you don't know anything can you understand anything?I don't just think it. I believe it. I'm a psychologist and teacher. It's in my best interest to study these things because it improves upon how I interact with people/students and teach. Very often, I come across people who don't want to learn, who think it's a waste of time. These people are ones who've had bad experiences in the past, making them indifferent to accepting anything that doesn't fit with their own beliefs. I used to be one of these people. I was very insecure and as a result, couldn't accept new ideas, especially ones that contradicted by beliefs. It was not a period of learning; it was a period of wasted time fighting to be right when I was actually wrong. Time is not something you'll ever get back. So I learn for the sake that I enjoy it. As a result, I'm much smarter than I was. As a result, I'm much more intelligent than I was.
Seriously? Twisting the words of a fifteen year old?
I'm not a therapist, I'm a psychologist. These are two different things but therapists use the word "psychologist" because it sounds better. A psychologist studies and researches behavior - a scientist. A therapist tells you that you have "penis envy" and that your problems are caused by an inability to to form close bonds when the opposite sex. These are not testable statements. This is not science.I was only pointing out what a bias is; everyone has biases, even you since you are biased against hearing certain things.Learning and forgetting are BOTH survival advantages. Learning allows one to adapt. Forgetting allows an organism to save energy. Similarly, choosing NOT to learn saves energy.Since you mentioned your age, you probably think of yourself as different from an adult. The reason this would be so is because of your upbringing from home, school, and maybe your community. The mere mention of your age suggests age discrimination is present in your community. This is true for most communities. The result of age discrimination is that young people, like yourself, don't trust adults because of the discrimination you've faced. I've been in the same situation.There used to be a mantra, before I was even born, not to trust anyone over 30. This distrust is caused by the discrimination by adults toward youth. It's the reason why youth are uncomfortable talking to adults. This behavior is a generalization from the few adults young people have interacted with. How many adults to young people interact with? Parents, teachers, and that's usually it. And how many actually talk to you like you were just a person, not a child? This is where young people get the idea that all adults are alike. This is how racism and sexism and other forms of discrimination continue.Also, I didn't mean to twist your words. But I did want to point out that the science behind the mentioned articles are valid. They take hundreds and thousands of people and measure certain qualities. Then they compile them all to see what qualities are similar or different. There are clear patterns. Even though I placed a link to only some of them, there are hundreds of similar studies and experiment that are published in academic journals that show similar findings. From this perspective, the results are considered in line with previous findings and is therefore said to have "validity".I sense your distaste for the subject and it is revealed by the anger you have toward it. This probably occurs because of the way your teachers treat you, both directly and indirectly. They have biases which probably praise boys over girls for their ability in math. You aren't born not liking math. You learn not to like it because of the way you are treated by certain people (i.e. teachers). If you read one of the articles, it mentions the biases toward boys in math. Maybe you'll be able to identify this bias the next time your in class and a teacher responds to a boy calling out answers but tells a girl to raise her hand.From this article: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/04/120416150359.htm"After analyzing this data, the researchers found disparities between teachers' favorable perceptions of the abilities of their white male students and these students' scores. Conversely, white female students were perceived by teachers to be doing more poorly in their math classes than they actually were."
