Today's women are in no way inferior to men: they fulfill themselves professionally, take part in political life, and create intellectual elites. We are great in the same roles as men, but that does not mean that we are no different. We are very different! The good news: In many ways, gender comparisons are in our favor.

We are all the same, but … it's only the first 6 weeks in the womb. After this time, the genes send the signal "I'll be a girl!"hormonesenter work and the process of creatingwomanbegins - a creature with specific physical characteristics, but also psychological predispositions that will affect her relationship with the world . - You can already see it in the first weeks after giving birth - says Marek Domański, a specialist in family medicine. - Tiny, she looks for her mother, she talks to the man leaning over her. The boy will be satisfied with the toy hanging over the crib.

Girls learn to read, write and count faster. But they only triumph in the first few years. Then the boys catch up with them. They are even better at abstract thinking, have a more developed spatial imagination, and therefore tend to be better at science.

Nature favors women …

… in terms of the senses. Women's hearing functions more efficiently: we hear better, we remember random melodies more easily, we can repeat them better and more clearly. American researchers have established that among people who sing well, there are as many as 6 times more women than men. But we also get irritated more easily by the sounds - the man is not bothered by the sound of the dripping tap, the woman gets up at night to turn it off. We also feel the taste more intensely and more accurately, and the female nose is definitely more sensitive than the male nose. Our eyesight is also different for us. We see better at night, gentlemen, in bright light. We have better visual memory and respond better to the so-called red spectrum (we distinguish more shades), gentlemen have a better depth of vision. Our field of view is wider and, for example, when driving a car, we also look at the roadside, men see only the road, but they judge the distance better.

Women live longer

We have a chance of reaching eighty, while men are only 74. Where did thesedifferences? Women are genetically stronger than men (more male than female newborns die in infancy), which makes them more resistant to many diseases and easier to deal with them. But they can also take better care of themselves.

According to data from Berlin doctors, women visit doctor's offices up to 100 times more often than men! They also more often believe in the power of prophylaxis and treat even potential threats seriously. According to statistics, they do preventive examinations 8 times more often. Men's life is also shortened by a less hygienic lifestyle, cigarettes, alcohol and stress.

- An additional bonus of female hormones is protection against cardiovascular diseases - explains Grzegorz Południewski, gynecologist-obstetrician. - Estrogen cares for the heart, so there is less risk of a heart attack. It has a beneficial effect on lipid metabolism in the body, reducing the risk of death due to advanced atherosclerosis or coronary artery disease. Hormones also protect against blood clots and embolisms. Only later, when we are dealing with the hormonal silence typical of menopause, women are catching up with men in terms of heart and vascular diseases.

But female hormones aren't just fun. - Estrogen protects the heart but causes fibroids to grow and stimulates the development of breast cancer. Progestogen protects against endometrial hyperplasia, but increases the risk of inflammation and causes relaxation of the ureteral muscles - lists Grzegorz Południewski. - The monthly hormonal swing is not pleasant either. Duringovulationwomen may move mountains, but before menstruation some ladies suffer and can be unbearable for themselves and those around them.

Important

Gender being told

Girls start talking earlier and use whole sentences faster. They have fewer problems with mastering grammar and spelling, they can tell stories better, and they usually learn foreign languages ​​with greater ease. Stuttering is almost an all-male condition - for every "stuttering" woman, there are ten men who stutter.

The body of a woman and a body of a man …

… they are very different from each other, not only in terms of their sexual organs. Women are built more delicately, there is more body fat in their bodies, they also have a slower metabolism (therefore they gain weight more easily). Men are taller and heavier, with stronger bones and more muscle mass.

Women are more agile, men have better hand-eye coordination (as befits hunters). A woman's skin is about 16 percent. thinner than the male and has fewer sebaceous glands. For this reason, signs of aging appear on it faster. The first wrinkles are formedbefore the age of 30, most often these are lines on the forehead. And when estrogen levels begin to drop in your forties, the aging process accelerates. The skin becomes even thinner and prone to wrinkles. Women also have gray hair earlier, sometimes in the vicinity of their thirties. But fortunately we don't get bald.

Important

Iron woman

Men are more resistant to short, intense exertions and have greater lung capacity. But ladies are more resistant to pain and endure physical suffering better.
