Taste
Women are known to have a better sense of taste than men with 35% of women and only 15% of men calling themselves ‘supertasters’ — those able to identify flavours such as bitter, sweet, and sour more strongly than others. The underlying factors were identified in 1994 when Bartoshuk et al reported on the greater volume of taste areas (fungiform papillae) and taste buds on female than male tongues. It is suspected this protected offspring both during and after pregnancy as women of childbearing age and pregnant women taste flavours more intensely than younger or older females.
As if these differences are not dramatic enough, there is also the brain to consider, with significant differences in male and female brains.
As early as 26 weeks, female brains start developing a thicker corpus callosum, the part of the brain that connects the left and right hemispheres. This could be the subject of another article!
Meanwhile, recognizing the significant differences between the sexes can overcome many conflicts.
