- how the brain differs between male and female (spoiler: yes, the male brain is 10% bigger, but...)
- how hormone levels differ and what their effect is
- what effect our chromosomes have (and whatnot!)
- in what way social media is an exaggerator of stereotypes
- the answer to a question I always had in winter: why women perceive the same outside temperature as colder than men
