"Linear reasoning functions of language such as grammar and word production are often lateralized to the left hemisphere of the brain. Dyscalculia is a neurological syndrome associated with damage to the right temporal-parietal junction. This syndrome is associated with poor number manipulation, poor mental arithmetic, and an inability to understand or apply mathematical concepts.
In contrast, holistic reasoning functions of language such as intonation and emphasis are often lateralized to the right hemisphere of the brain. Functions such as the transduction of visual and musical stimuli such as spatial manipulation, facial perception, and artistic ability also seem to be lateralized to the right hemisphere."
An example of the gender typical roles of males/females is that men are considered more "logical", and "generally" more math oriented, etc, and what is considered more typically female would be perceiving the value of intonation or the emphasis (right brained traits) behind the linear, logical words. (this is meant as an illustrative simplifcation)
"Left brain functions:
linear algorithmic processing, concrete-oriented, mathematics: quantity - perception of counting/measurement, present and past, language: grammar/words, pattern perception
Right brain functions
holistical algorithmic processing, abstract-oriented, mathematics: quality - perception of shapes/motions, present and future, language: intonation/emphasis, spatial perception "
The differences between perceiving linearly (left hemisphere) and with perceiving holistically (right hemisphere) are very distinct. For example perceiving something in a concretely-oriented sense (left brained) and perceiving something in an abstractly oriented sense (right brained) is dramatic, imo. The difference between perceiving patterns requires understanding what came before, and the past--cause and effect. Whereas perceiving something spatially has to do with what is before us in the now as a whole picture. Again, according to widely practised personality study, men tend to make decisions based on logic and linear functions, and women on gestalt or "at a glance" instantaneous perceptions ("right brain", holistic), less tied to logic and cause and effect.
It's the difference between teaching your child about science(left), and encouraging them to indulge in imagination and fantasy(right). I grant you that the left and right brain functions technically are not as cut and dried and simplified as they are often portrayed in order to clarify for lay-people but these differences are clearly generally accepted.

I actually say Styx at Casino-Rama a couple years ago. All I can say is holy groupies!! Unreal. The audience practically sung along with the entire concert, and the entire seating area was shaking from everyone rocking out.
I got the tickets as a "what the heck...why not" thing....but I was quite impressed afterwards.
Where do you live??

I'm sure you're right, but I never understood it. I could never have sex with a man who wears more make-up than I do.
You see, that's the difference between you and I! (one at least. ) It's my DREAM to have sex with a man who wears more make-up than I do.....at least in spirit. did I mention I'm big on androgyny?? lol.

But all functions utilize right and left hemispheres, depending on the requirement for data analysis. I don't think it's accurate to say left and right are dramatically different and that women or men use one side more than the other. I think a more accurate statment would be "Women are encouraged to make decisions based on the analysis of data provided by the abstract brain" "men are encouraged to do the opposite" this doesn't mean that both regions aren't being used in everyone.

I dunno ... I'd have to see it to evaluate it I suppose. But one of the things I've always loved most about men is that they don't get all caught up with their appearance. Not once in 44 years have I had to sit around for an hour while a male friend or love interest tried on every piece of clothing he owned before he'd leave the house. Shower, run fingers through hair, put on a pair of pants and a shirt (whatever's clean), and they're good to go. It's refreshing
One of my best friends dated a primper for a while and I used to tease him relentlessly. We'd be at her house getting ready to go out and neither of us could get near the mirror, it was ridiculous.

If you are saying it's a lot cultural, I agree. The more prominant male traits tend to be associated with the left-hemisphere, while the more abstract traits women are known to employ are associated with the right brain. There are numerous theories and models that provide the context for the facts, whether physically and brain chemistry-wise, or whether purely theoretically and conceptually.

I was quick about it. Probably took longer to find clean clothes than put on a little eyeliner and shadow. Besides at that point in life it was probably "you chop a few while I get ready".

That the right or left hemispheres are solely responsible for anything. With the exception of motor-functions. But even with motor functions, the different regions that handle different things like Broca's and Wernicke's are dispersed throughout both halves of the brain. I would suggest with emotion and logic, the different processing regions are also dispersed.
That's all semantics anyway, we agree on the culture thing, we just need to convince everyone else.

I don't see it as semantics, but rather the discernment of fine details within different contexts. It all intermeshes.
But yeah, it is getting a little unnecessary, considering these things are not hardwired the way people believe they are, as in written in stone, and/or genetic or inherent. I'm personally fond of some gender norms, myself, though, as long as we have freedom to personally not accept ones individually, that we don't want to.
"The opposite of a fact is falsehood, but the opposite of one profound truth may very well be another profound truth." ~ Niels Bohr
The point is that the adults in our culture essentially program the children, causing them to fit these models we've created. So long as we continue to say "Men/Women are like this..." they will be. By saying it we are hard-wiring it into our children, they then behave according to expectations, for the most part.
Then the question remains, is it bad or good to have these distinct gender roles? According to women's liberation, it's a bad thing. Then we abolish this perception that men/women are better suited for specific roles within the family. This means women are not better parents naturally and men are not better workers as studies have shown. The differences are only from individual to individual. Perhaps we should look at the mass of white and grey matter of the amygdala in both parents to determine who is 'better'. But I don't think that's the only determining factor in what makes a good parent.
To prove you wrong here, my sister, 10 years ago, insisted to the rest of our family that her children were not going to be "typical boys and girls". She strictly tried to raise them, from infancy, to be in a sense, unisex. She treated both her daughter and son, 2 years apart the exact same. Same toys, same treatment, same everything. No girl or boy toys, they were all neutral. She wanted her daughter to be a tom-boy. Well, they didn't turn out the way she expected them to. The girl has very feminine tendencies, and the boy has male tendencies. In other words, our personalities don't evolve from what our parents teach us. Like someone else said, our personalities are pretty much there by the age of 3. Parenting styles aren't going to differ personality types, we're just born the way we are.

That's the thing, Yes, they were/are. I knew my sis was nuts to think that her two kids were going to be exactly alike just from her strategy of parenting. That's what she was trying to achieve.

Yes, it's not just what the parents teach, based on norms, but it's also what is modelled by the parents (big influence) and how children are molded by the norms that exist all throughout our culture and surround them from birth, among other variables.

I agree, it's a multiple of factors that contribute. But by the time my neice and nephew were 2 1/2-3, it was clear that they were very much different. That's too young an age to have society really to have any impact at all. Immediate environment, yes, but even more, I believe that you're born with your personality intact, and that you can't really program your child's personality from any angle at that young of an age.

"Linear reasoning functions of language such as grammar and word production are often lateralized to the left hemisphere of the brain. Dyscalculia is a neurological syndrome associated with damage to the right temporal-parietal junction. This syndrome is associated with poor number manipulation, poor mental arithmetic, and an inability to understand or apply mathematical concepts.
