It is designed for writers to provide some information in creating more realistic fictional characters. JLR - I think you're right - men are very good at tuning out things they don't want to hear or talk about. :) Natalie - your comment made me laugh. I've found myself paying more attention to my own behavior and habits this week and I definitely talk a LOT. Ameya - thank you for the correction. I've made the change in the post.

I think one I'm thinking of specifically is in Africa. That's one of the first examples you learn in college gender classes, about how much of the gender differences are only beliefs, not facts caused by our largely-overstated differences. Though you're right about the brain differences. Those are only all-too-spot on.

Men tend to segregate tasks where women try to attack all tasks at once, I think this is in preparation for motherhood. Great post as always.

I'm a little surprised by the fact that women are better multi-taskers than men, since I always believed it the oppposite. Or maybe it's not multi-tasking, but maybe men are just better at tuning out people talking to them while they are doing a task and faking that they were listening all along. :-) Great posts.
