I was wondering tonight if there is a connection between sinusitus and decision-making, due to the location of the Orbitofrontal cortex / Ventromedial prefrontal cortex just above your eyes, and just above your nasal cavity. Well, one of the symptoms of trouble with the ''vfPFC'' is related to not fully 'getting' many gender-specific social cues. ''Men do this, women do that.''. So, I thought, hm, didn't Sweden come up with a Gender neutral word, hen? And yes, they did. Then I wondered - I wondered if there were chronic sinus infections in Sweden, and found this: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/oa.1268/abstract where a medival society in Sweden, 97% of them 1000 years ago had chronic sinusitus. So, then I came across this: and I thought to myself, ''Well, the land of IKEA where you don't really have to decide on furniture because it all looks pretty good... and the world tends to view Sweden as englightened in many ways - having very strong equality... and seeing this, I thought, ''You know, we may laugh but if you ever have seen very small children play, this is EXACTLY what they do. It is we, the uncles, aunts, grandparents, parents, teachers, neighbors, TV, and culture that constantly tries to reinforce these ''vast chasms'' of difference between guys and girls. But really, it's all made-up stuff. Logically, there's: a) plumbing differences and b) hormonal differences which have a bunch of side-effects that differentiate between men and women. And that's it. My hypothesis is off-the-cuff and the results of 1/2 hr of ''research'' but I've always had trouble remembering if a dog or cat was a boy or girl, thinking, ''it's neutered/'fixed'/spayed - it's neither a boy or a girl.'' But perhaps I just have a chronic stuffy nose. -Kenneth Udut
