A Nature study shows that men's and women's brains respond differently to seeing someone get hurt. "At some level the study proves for the first time in physical terms what many people assume they already know: That women are generally more empathetic than men and that men are more prone to schadenfreude - malicious joy when faced with another's misfortune."
