Dr. Hariri
26 Jun 2016Excellent! That’s word of wisdom.
It is exactly based on anthropological and sociological studies about mental differences between men and women. This Russian maxim is definitely based on well-established scientific facts between the two genders. Thank you.

28 Jun 2016I agree with this statement. As the video says, women are taking care of everything more than men; as mothers, women have a lot of worries about their children so that there is a famous sentence about mother which says mother is the king of sadness. Women are the center of family, they have to manage the life and be careful about everything towards family members. With regard to their personality, women are more emotional and have breakable character. In the society they are more in danger than men and they should be more careful about themselves. Taking these factors in to account, we can say that women are more likely experience the feelings of sadness than men.
Dr. Hariri
28 Jun 2016Thank you for your elaborate comment.
Corrections:
as mothers, women have a lot of worries about their children so that there is a famous sentence about mother which says mother is the king of sadness. ==> Women have so many worries about their children that there exists a famous maxim about mothers that says, “A mother is the king of sadness”.
they have to manage the life ==> They have to manage life.
have breakable character ==> breakable/fragile character traits
Taking these factors in to account ==> taking these factors into account
women are more likely experience the feelings of sadness than men. ==> Women are more likely to experience …

29 Jun 201615. My question is do you think mental and brain difference means that one of them is better or you believe that they are both humans and there is no difference between them?
Dr. Hariri
29 Jun 2016Thanks for your question.
Corrections: Mental and brain difference –> differences
means –> mean because the subject is plural
It’s crystal-clear that they are both humans.
