Here’s a controversial yet obvious truth– men and women are different!
A quick look at brain science supports this fact. The connections between neurons in the male brain are more condensed than in a female brain. That’s why men tend to focus on the bigger picture while women focus on details. Men use more grey brain matter, which makes them task oriented, while women use more white matter, which contributes to being more language oriented.
In this society that often tries to pit women against men, and calls masculinity “toxic,” it’s crucial that our sons understand that there’s a reason for these differences. Make sure your son has a positive father-figure in his life to help him understand what healthy manhood looks like.
