Afghan women yesterday and today
Photo stories about the changes that have touched the women of Afghanistan since the fall of the Taliban regime, and about the gender issues that have remained unresolved in this country today. Women are finally starting to rebel against slavery and abuse of men. God created man, he realized that he was wrong and created woman to correct his mistake. God in his creation began with smaller and imperfect, and finished a great and perfect. He created man after the other creatures, the woman did the same after the men, so it is perfect.
Women perfect men. The woman knows better how necessary to live in this world. The woman - the personification of the material world.
Man - the personification of the ideal world and it is not known how to live in the material world. So he wants to change the world. Woman for the man - it is something mysterious, what they look with horror, delight and shudder. The fact that women more perfect than men, more hardy and tenacious - it's a fact. Since ancient times, in fairy tales and parables man looked so stupid that is waving with other such eccentrics. All that can men - and women are capable of. But much of what can women - men are not given. Even such a seemingly simple thing, how to understand them. Psychic energy women perfect men, because it is thinner and vibration, it is 6 times higher than the male ... her mental strength - great cosmic value. By the way ... the majority of men and remain with teenage brains, according to their interests and abilities.

Women's immunity is stronger
All the matter in the molecules of the X chromosome, which is responsible for our immune system. Since women than men, X chromosomes already two, then they have greater immunity. It is this property of women live longer, suffer less, and less complaining about health.
Women are easier to tolerate stress
Scientists suggest that this is due to the protective effect of the female hormone estrogen, which is produced in the brain. I think that we carry stress more easily because the girls easier to open up and share experiences, and men still tend to restrain their emotions.
Women distinguish more shades of color
It turns out that women are more colors available than men. The fact that the eye contains a greater number of female cells responsible for the perception of colors. That's why we almost did not colorblind. It turns out that when a woman distinguishes crimson, burgundy and red, for men these colors equally red. When color blind man ceases to recognize the color red. If such violation occurs in a woman, she does not cease to distinguish between red, she just sees a man, that is, does not distinguish between shades of red.
Now I understand why, when I show her husband svezhenamanikyurennye pens with concrete pink lacquer, he says: You know, I do not like the red color :).
Women have better developed peripheral vision
And then all of nature has provided for us. Man was originally a breadwinner and a hunter. He had to see the prey, and to keep her in sight. That it does not distract, vision narrowed almost to the limit, that is, there is an ability to see clearly far away, but only straight ahead. This is how the binoculars. The women had to keep track of everything that happens around, and it was necessary to have a wide field of view. Therefore, women are more developed peripheral vision, which sometimes reaches 180 degrees.
Women are better distinguish smells
Scientists calculate the number of our olfactory cells, concluded that women in their average 43% more than men. This difference leads to the fact that women are better distinguish odors.
Women have better memory for names, dates and other details
According to experts, the female brain at any age is better able to recover the information stored there. So do not criticize men for what they often forget the dates of important events.
Women seem to tolerate pain
Better, of course, it does not feel, but if you have to, then women in terms of tolerability of pain were more fortunate. Despite the fact that the pain we react more sharply, its intensity and stimulation of pain in women has been declining for 20 seconds. In men, this adaptation does not occur. Women endure pain helps the female hormone estrogen, which is a natural analgesic. That it reduces the pain of childbirth.
Women seem to tolerate monotonous work
We are better able to cope with monotonous work and showed great perseverance.
Women feel other people's emotions thinner
Women are more sensitive to the nuances of the various movements and facial expressions. We will catch the shades of emotion. Perhaps because of this talk about the good woman's intuition.
