•We came from the Hand of a loving, Heavenly Father.
• We were uniquely designed
•God deliberately made male different from females
•Both genders reflect the image of God
GOD MADE YOU SPECIAL!
• All the organs of the human body are
amazing.
• The human brain is one of the most complex
and amazing organ in the human body
THE HUMAN BRAIN – GOD’S MASTERPIECE
The human brain is an amazing machine, more complex than the most
advanced computer.It’s amazing abilities point to God’s
great creative power.Each side of the brain has specific
functions.
THE HUMAN BRAIN
The left and right hemispheres play an equally important role during a child’s growing stage. At times, the functions of both hemispheres overlay and
complement each other as shown in this photo where information ‘crosses the bridge’ from one hemisphere to another. BC believes that equal emphasis
should be given to both hemispheres.
Left Brain Functions
•Uses logic •detailed orientation
•facts rule•words & language
•past & present•math & science•can comprehend•knowing (facts)•acknowledges•order & pattern
perception•knows object name
•reality based•forms strategies
•practical•conservative
(cautious)
Right Brain Functions
•Uses feeling•“big picture” oriented
•imagination rules•symbols & image•present & future
•philosophy & religion•can get it! (i.e.
meaning)•believes (intuition)
•appreciates•spatial perception
•knows object function•fantasy based
•presents possibilities•impetuous (impulsive)
•risk taking (gut feeling)
The structure and function of the brain is different in males and females:
Females tend to use more right brain functions – this is why they are usually more
emotional than males.Males tend to use more left brain functions,
hence they tend to reason things out more rather than go with their feelings.
THE BRAIN & GENDER DIFFERENCES
Males find it harder to express their emotions than
females.
Males react differently to stress than females.
Males react to pain differently than females –
women will talk more freely about pain and will be
quicker to see a doctor.
Emotional Differences Women – More Emotional
MALE/FEMALE DIFFERENCES
Males process information better on the left hemisphere
than women.
The section of the brain responsible for language is
larger in females.
The section of the brain responsible for mathematical
ability is larger in males.
Learning/Thinking Differences
The Brain’s Hemisphere
MALE/FEMALE DIFFERENCES
Men have more bodily hair than women.
Girls begin puberty approximately two years
before boys.
Males have larger hearts and lungs than females.
Physical Features
MALE /FEMALE DIFFERENCES
Many men are sharply left-brain dominant.
Men are often less socially adept, and are more task-
oriented thinkers than females
Women tend to be more evenly balanced between left
and right-brain processing. Women are therefore
thought to be slightly more intuitive, and sometimes
better communicators.
Males Females
MALE/FEMALE DIFFERENCES
When faced with stressful situations, men usually employ ‘fight or flight’
tactics.
The parietal region is thicker in the female brain, making it
harder for them to mentally rotate objects – an important
spatial skill.
Women use a ‘tend or befriend’ response that is
rooted in their natural instincts for caring for their children and establishing st
Women often report difficulty with spatial tasks, both on
tests and in real life.
Males Females
MALE/FEMALE DIFFERENCES
An average man is taller and heavier than an average
woman.
Men’s skin has more collagen and sebum, which makes it thicker and oilier
than women’s skin.
Physical Differences Males Vs. Females
OTHER DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MALES & FEMALES
Females are more sensitive to sound than males.
Females generally have greater body fat percentage
than males.
Males have better distance vision than females.
Physical Differences Female – Better Listener
MALE/FEMALE DIFFERENCES
The Bible tells us in Gen. 1:27
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of
God created he him: male and female created he
them.”
Psalm 139: 14
“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully
made…”
God’s Doing God’s Plan
WHY WE ARE THE WAY WE ARE
God intended that the two genders should complement each other.
The male is supposed to be the “Protector and Provider”
The female is intended to be the “Nurturer and Comforter”
A child needs both mother and father to bring balance to the home.
WHY GOD MADE MALES & FEMALES
That we know and understand that males and
females are different.
Male and female to copulate and produce off-springs.
Gender does matter - there are specific gender roles
That we be confused about our sexuality.
It is O.K. for same sex marriages to take place and
the couple can adopt children.
Gender does not matter – there is no difference in
gender roles.
God’s Plan Satan’s Plan
IS GENDER DIFFERENCE A BIG DEAL?
We are God’s workmanship, created in His own image.
His intent is clear – He made Adam and Eve – male and female – and brought them together.
The first marriage ceremony was performed by God Himself in the Garden of Eden.
IS GENDER DIFFERENCE A BIG DEAL?
Because males see things differently from females it
sometimes leads to misunderstanding.
Gender differences is something to understand and
accept rather than fight about.
Celebrate Gender Differences Agree to Disagree!
CONFLICTS ARISE WHEN COUPLES HAVE DIFFERENT VIEWPOINTS
God made us different – the male is wired differently from the female.
We need to celebrate this difference
Let us take time to study and understand the differences between males and females.
Remember that with God there is neither male or female.
CONCLUSION
The following Brain Teaser is intended to illustrate the difference in the way males and females process information.
The class will be divided into two teams – males against females. The teacher will test to see which team has the
greater difficulty matching words and colors.
