–“Is the right hemisphere the more feminine of the two then? (referring to Ian MacGilChrist)”–

Right is prey in-time and space and left is predator over-time and space.
Hemispheres do specialize by those dimensions, but it’s more that there is female integration between hemispheres (lots, now, interpersonal) or isolation of the left hemisphere (just this, spatio-temporal).
The reason is the cost of neural computation (neural economy in time).
In other words the left plans actions which is why language is dominant in the left.
Ergo female prey lateral – lots of information in the moment, and masculine predator longitudinal (fast) – lean mean problem solving machines.
