    yes...as to "how?" well, some people have spent a lifetime trying to answer that so, I'll either have to get back to you, or you'll have to ask someone else.

    Women tend to be more emotional than men. Men react more to visual stimuli where women react more to feelings.

    Yeah, but I think it tends to be over-exaggerated/emphasized by the media and culture. It's not so much that men and women think differently, but people are essentially composites of their own conditioning. Certain people (not just the sexes, but races and religions, too) are conditioned to act/think certain ways through the culture they're a part of.

    I think because of social norms, we (generally; not without exception) sort of allow or disallow ourselves from thinking different ways. For boys, a lot of times the masculinity image thing sets standards for being or seeming less emotional, and girls are the other way. And of course, there's the identity thing, because (gender dysmorphia, I think) people can "feel like a girl" or "feel like a boy". Add to that hormones, and you have sociology. That said, I think that like, chemically or whatever, our brains think in ways that don't have much difference to speak of.

    My history teacher once said that the difference was that all boys will burn ants with a magnifying glass and girls never will. Haha.

    yes, because of hormones. the primary male hormone is testosterone while women produce estrogens. This leads to difference in behavior and in thought. Though of course we are conditioned in accordance, the difference becomes exaggerated and the line blurred between what is "normal" and what is society's doing.

    Interesting. What, in your opinion, would those roles be? Would nature be purely in the chemical and nothing to do with role definment in a social setting or would nurture be the leading role there? Does how we think come from a combination of chemicals and sociological determinations or an overpowering of one over the other?

    Hi OP, just wondering: are you unable to think for yourself? Or are you an investigatory journalist??

    I think it's cultural for the most part (though the hormone levels might play a role to some degree).

    Whenever I hang out with girls, I tend to be under the impression I think more like a guy.
