4 months agoCould be as simple as humans get so many neurons and need to allocate them across total set of stuff needed for life.
Women need to devote a good % of those to pregnancy mode, while men just have normal mode.
Therefore some functions may have to deal with reduced neuron allocations, because the ‘missing’ ones are required elsewhere.
Obviously a simplification of things, but with only one way of needing to be men optimize to a different configuration with a different allocation of neurons to match.
Reality keeps sliding into absurdity rendering satire mute.
