Abstract
In this article, the writer argues that there really are scientifically provable differences between the brains of men and women. Specifically, the paper explores how the brains of men and women atrophy over time. The writer then looks at how men and women have different intellectual competencies - differences which, broadly stated, suggest that men are better in the realm of mathematics and mathematical logic while women are better in the realm of language arts and visual memory. Lastly, the writer notes that evidence provided by Doreen Kimura suggests that boys and girls differ in their levels of aggression because they really do have minds shaped by widely divergent hormones. The writer concludes that it is simply not smart to suggest that men and women are exactly the same.
From the Paper
"Simply put, the process by which the brain atrophies in men and women is quite pronounced, can be measured quantitatively, and suggests that men and women experience varying levels of mental acuity and efficacy at different points in their lives. As an addendum, this sort of thing clearly indicates that the differing behavior of men and women in, say, their middle to late 50s is not necessarily predicated upon sociological constructions but upon differential aging of the brain and the changes in behavior this creates.
"There are also cognitive differences between men and women that suggest different patterns of competencies - not necessarily, as ideologues on both sides of the gender debate might like to argue, different intellectual capacities. For instance, a host of studies conducted over many years proves that men perform better than women when it comes to spatial tasks such as those that involve object manipulation and/or envisioning an object moving through space."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"There are several factors that can interfere with the client's ability to draw the shapes or designs accurately including arthritis, visual problems or other issues that can make the design copy inaccurate without it meaning emotional or developmental problems.
"There are several different versions of the test and each of them uses the same basics for examination but uses different evaluation methods. Therefore it is important that the clinical assessor be familiar with whatever version is being given to that particular client to be sure that the interpretation is accurate."

Abstract
This paper examines the role of sex in the lives of four female narrators. For some, sex is a tool with which to gain power. For others, it is a box in which to hand over power. It explains how Bender uses sex to underline the root message in her stories, often turning her characters into modern-day grotesques.
From the Paper
"The stories in Bender's The Girl in a Flammable Skirt use everyday situations for their material but twist and turn them into unconventional modern-day grotesques. Sex is a recurring situation in many of these tales. Sometimes, the sexual act functions as an expression of love, as in "The Rememberer." Sometimes, as in "Fell This Girl" it is a vehicle for hatred and power. Bender takes sex and forges it into an action underlining the root message of her story."
