    Well that’s the most delusional thing I’ve heard in a while.

    Did you know that women’s brains develop faster? Different sources say different years, but it seems to lie between 1 to 5 years on average depending on what age you look at.

    Estrogens stimulate development of the frontal lobe. Executive functions, risk-assesment and empathy to name a few tasks it does. Which plays a role in why girls with a developmental disorder, are often able to compensate enough (masking) to keep up with their peers, or even be in the top of the class. Boys on the other hand are less lucky, and their grades are affected more clearly by the same disorders. ASD, AD(H)D, dyslexia/dyscalculi to name a few. Interestingly, hyperlexia is almost only seen in girls. While it is a developmental disorder, it often works in their favor in school settings. Estrogens appear to play a role in language development.

    Estrogens also improve memory and learning. It’s why women have a better memory than men on average, and why they are outperforming men academically on average. Yes, women will remember everything you said to them. For good and bad purposes.

    Estrogens also play a role in social development. Which is why girls often prefer playing with toys that have a face on it, and integrate social feedback more often. Part of the reason girls are held to higher standards, which results in girls working harder in school, and suffering more often from performance/achievement related stress.

    If anyone has a child’s brain at 30, it’s you mate.

      Sure bud.

      I never commented on their actual brain development, only how society treats them which is objectively true and has a real impact.

      It’s sad watching how desperate you are to avoid reality when you don’t like it, but I don’t expect more from you people at this point.

        You didn’t read my comment, did you? I mentioned in my comment, that society holds girls and women to higher standards, and it’s effects on performance. Which is the opposite of pandering.

          that society holds girls and women to higher standards

          Uhh…

          Yeah, this is what I mean by bending over backwards to enable their delusions. The problem has gotten so bad we don’t even realize it’s there.

              If you don’t want to believe something, you’ll find ways to never believe it.

              I’m not answering your question. I’m talking about you, specifically.

                Except there is scientific evidence that women are held to higher standards. You’re the delusional one here.
