They Just Can’t Help It
What kind of brain do you have? Simon Baron-Cohen, who has done intensive research, says there are really big differences between male and female brains.
My theory is that the female brain is mainly built for empathy(E), the ability to understand other people, and that the male brain is mainly built for understanding and building systems(S). According to this theory, there are three brain types: the E-brain, the S-brain and the "balanced brain" which has both abilities-empathy and systems-thinking(the ability to understand how things work).
It is important to stress that not all women have the E-brain, and not all men have the S-brain. But generally, there are clear differences. For example, women tend to choose different things to read on the railway platform or in the airport departure lounge.(69)
They are more likely to go for magazines on fashion, romance, beauty, counseling and parenting. Men are more likely to choose magazines that feature computers, cars, photography, sport and the outdoors.
You may think that these preferences are in some way influenced by people’s upbringing. However, there is scientific evidence to suggest that this is not the case.
A study carried out in the lab at Cambridge University shows that newborn girls look longer at a face, and newborn boys look longer at a mechanical mobile, which suggests that certain differences between male and female brains are biological.(70)
It has also been observed that baby girls as young as 12 months old respond more strongly to other people’s emotional problems. Teenage girls and women spend more time comforting friends who have problems. Women are also more sensitive to facial expressions. They are better at noticing subtle signs of changes in other people’s feelings, or judging a person’s character.
Boys, from an early age onwards, seem to love putting things together, building toy towers or towns or vehicles. Boys also enjoy playing with toys which have clear functions, which have buttons to press, things that light up, or devices that will cause another object to move. You see the same sort of pattern in the adult workplace. People whose jobs are in metal-working or the construction industries are almost entirely male. Mathematics, physics and engineering, which require high levels of systems-thinking, are also largely male-chosen disciplines.
Some people may worry that I am suggesting that one gender is better than the other, but this is not the case. The theory says that, on the whole, males and females differ in the kind of things that they are interested in and that they find easy, but that both genders have their strengths and weaknesses. Neither gender is superior overall.
Others may worry that a theory like this creates gender stereotypes, which is not true, either. The study simply looks at males and females as two groups, and asks what differences exist, and why they are there. [br] Which ability is more related to the "E-brain"?

The ability to understand other people.
