So, if there is a Female Brain, it may be more prone to depression and anxiety and certain kinds of self-harm, but it’s far less vulnerable to catastrophic failures like suicide.

It might even be more robust: for instance, men are more likely to wind up in the ER from severe traumatic brain injuries, but women are more likely to recover from them.
