Our brains view women as a bunch of body parts
You pass a woman on the street.
In glimpsing this stranger, did your brain see her as a whole person? Or a collection of body parts?
Be honest, boys and girls.
If you are, says a University of Nebraska-Lincoln researcher [Sarah Gervais], you'll probably acknowledge that you perceived body parts.
What's surprising is that it doesn't matter whether you're male or female. At first, you still see women as a bunch of pieces — differently than you see men.
