men too dumb to recognize they had a concussion... men think everything is "hangover"

Yeah, I've read that as well.


The article says concussions for female are more severe and the effects last longer. I wonder if that is the neck muscle(less of) making severe head trauma more common or if there is something fundamentally different with female brain injury healing 0or both?


It's because more of their smaller brains are injured. It's science.

Not smaller brains... smaller head and thinner skulls.

Thought this was an interesting article.

Recent research, however, suggests that female athletes are not only more likely to sustain a concussion in any given sport; they also tend to have more severe symptoms, and to take longer to recover. Katherine Snedaker, founder of the non-profit campaign group Pink Concussions, believes that many like Jessica are “invisible patients” with an “invisible injury” – and that means that they may struggle to get the support they need.
