Pariprashnena — Q&A Archive

"They are starting to discover now that there are literally hundreds of ways which the human brain, male and female, process information that are different from each other. You give the same information, the same stimulus through the senses but different parts of a woman'92s brain deal with it than a man'92s. Different parts. They have a different way of perceiving things, they have a different way of dealing with things."

"When women get stressed out they sit down together and they talk, that'92s all. They talk, and they talk, and they talk (laughter). I am not saying that just because we are all men in this room. I have said this in class in temples and all the women agree, they all know it'96-they like to talk. You put a group of women together, they love to talk. Why do they love to talk? It'92s not just because the comedians have made jokes about it. It'92s because there are biological reasons why. When women get stressed out and then talk, they produce a chemical in their bodies'96-or a chemical is produced, it'92s not like they are consciously manufacturing it, but the body works this way'96-they produce a chemical called oxytocin."

"That when a woman comes to a man when she is stressed out, and she immediately wants to talk, and the man listens and he says, after a couple of minutes, '93Well, why don'92t you do this?'94 Or, '93If you do that, then that will fix it.'94 And then she yells at him, '93You'92re not listening to me!'94 (laughter) Right? Why? Because he'92s trying to fix it, the problem, but she'92s not, she just wants empathy, that'92s all. Women get together, they empathize with each other. It doesn'92t matter what the problem is, they empathize with each other and then they all feel happy. It doesn'92t matter if they don'92t get a solution to the problem'96they don'92t want a solution to the problem in a lot of cases'96they just want the release. They want the release'96-oxytocin. Men'96-testosterone. They want to fix things. They are not satisfied unless they actually come to a solution to the problem."

"They don'92t mind religion. A lot of them have, as Prabhupada said, a simple faith that God exists because they feel a need for shelter. Not that they don'92t want any solutions but by nature they don'92t generally like to come to the solutions themselves and they tend to take shelter of a man to do that. A man is a provider and a woman is a nurturer."

"We are all conditioned souls, we are all handicapped by the fact that we have a material body, but within those bodies there are different levels of handicap. But still, if you take up Krishna consciousness seriously, then you have every chance, whether you are a man or a woman, of going back home, back to Godhead in this life. If you do it seriously. Therefore Prabhupada said that men and women in Krishna consciousness, their intelligence is the same."
