What Is It About Men?

Derek: There are distinct differences between the male and female brains.

Chief: Female brains have a larger hippocampus, which usually makes them better at attention and memory.

Alex: Male brains have a bigger parietal cortex, which helps when fending off an attack.

Avery: Male brains confront challenges differently than the female brains.

Mark: Women are wired to communicate with language, detail, empathy. Men, not so much.

Owen: It doesn’t mean that we are any less capable of emotion.

Derek: We can talk about our feelings. It’s just that, most of the time, we really rather not.

Alex: ”Be a man.” People say it all the time.

Owen: But, what does that even mean?

Chief: Is it about strength?

Owen: Is it about sacrifice?

Avery: Is it about winning?

Mark: Maybe it’s simpler than that.

Derek: You have to know when not to man up. Sometimes it takes a real man to set his ego aside, admit defeat, and simply start all over again.
