The brains of males tend to be very compartmentalized, allowing them to focus intently on one thing at a time. This lets males get things done well and quickly. However, this usually disallows effective multitasking.

Female brains work in the opposite way. I wouldn't necessarily describe it as a mess, but it's not "organized". At least not in the same way. This sort of function is why women tend to be excellent parents, being able to keep track of multiple things at once and tend to screaming kids while remembering their entire grocery list and oh, they need to call their parents and wish them a happy 32nd anniversary.

I'll post sources when I get home

Men appear to have more gray matter, made up of active neurons, and women more of the white matter responsible for communication between different areas of the brain. In women's brains, the neurons are packed in tightly, so that they're closer together. Some women even have as many as 12 percent more neurons than men do. These neurons are densely crowded on certain layers of the cortex, namely the ones responsible for signals coming in and out of the brain, and these differences were present from birth.

The sections of the brain are not specialised to different chores, and most things like chores would probably only involve short term memory and a balance of dopamine receptors (the deficiency of which causes ADHD btw) which owed itself to not becoming overly absorbed in tasks.

Anyway, I am sure we will find out when you look for links.

To be honest there is not much to discuss about what the neurological differences are now that we can just check the link

Men and women differ in motor skill ability. In general, men are better at gross motor skills while women are better at fine motor skills. Gender differences in brain physiology are often cited by scientists to explain these differences.

Although women tend to have better fine motor skills, the cerebellum has a larger volume in males than in females
