    The two articles suggest that girls are better at boys at skill based subjects (BTEC SUBJECTS) however looking at it from a different angle I realised boys are better at A levels which shows boys are smarter than girls overall as A levels are much harder and intense. People say girls get higher marks in class because they are well behaved however boys get higher grades overall. So does it really matter about the gender? In our contemporary society we have developed different skills both males and females. In our society we have minimal gender stereotypes which can lead to females succeeding as they don’t feel the pressure that they used to feel.

Female brains are superior in verbal tests because language skills including grammar, spelling, and writing are all housed in the left side of the brain, whereas in a male brain, the language skills are located in the front and back of the brain which makes it harder for them to pull this information. This means that it is easier for women to recall language skills because it all resides in the left side of the brain. Women are also superior in conveying their emotions because their emotional functions are within their left and right side of their brains. This means that women are capable are speaking their emotions because their emotional functions also resides with the language functions which means women can actually speak their emotions while men struggle with this.…
