The Caretaker
"You are such a girl!"...
Sound firmiliar? Next time someone tries insulting you with such things, take it as a complement! The female brain is better able to express feelings, connect with others, and even has a more developed sense of smell than male's! Female's have a larger deep limbic system than male's do; this breif picture gives you an idea of the area being discussed.
Though a female is better able to connect with others, having a larger deep limbic system than male's makes female's more susceptible to mental issues such as depression.
Think and Drink
Going out for the night? Well, before you end being your night with the "Just because Im a woman, doesn't mean I cant drink as much as you can" attitude, please take note:
If a female were to drink the same amount of alcohol as a male, the female's brain cells would be damaged sooner than the male's as well as be a possible recipient for long term damage. Though this applies to females who engage in drinking habbits much of the time, female's who go out for a simple night of fun are candidates too. Not only is the female brain more vulnerable to alcohol damage, but a female's organs function differently than a male's as well.

In women, the right side of an area called the inferior-parietal lobule, also known as the IPL, is much larger than in men. What is the signifigance? Scientists from at Johns Hopkins University found that the right IPL's size has some connection with mental mathematical abilities, rotation of 3-D figures, speed, and the perception of time. The IPL aids in selective attention (often heard as "selective hearing"), and perception. Women notice certain sounds, words, actions, and forms of body language more than a male would. Females tend to dwell on or think about these things for a long period of time, while the male brain would already have forgotten.
Fact!
Corpus collosum size: it is reported that a woman's brain has a larger corpus collusum, which means women can transfer data between the right and left hemisphere faster than men. Men tend to be more left brained, while women have greater access to both sides.
