5. The brain cells are packed more densely in the female brain.
The female brain is on average 9 percent lower than its male counterpart. But this has little effect on cognitive abilities as the number of cells is the same and they are densely packed.
4. They are the unsung heroes of inventions.
The windshield wiper was invented by Mary Anderson in 1903. Moreover, women have invented over the years: reusable slides, paper bags, non-reflective glass, foot pedal trash can, dishwasher, and many other inventions.
3. Heels were for men.
Heels were introduced into the style of women in the 1600s to emulate the men who wore heels as a symbol of their masculinity and prestige.

Women are better at reading expressions, gestures, and voice tones from the very start of their lives, making them superior conversationalists and community leaders. Even in a group of people, all social interactions are likely to be led by a female alpha-type than an alpha-male.
1. Long live women!
The disparities in longevity between men and women can sometimes be up to a decade, but on average it’s around the world for at least 2-3 years. And this doesn’t just apply to human females. Female orangutans and chimpanzees survive their male counterparts as well.
