1. Women remember fights that a man insists never happened.
2. Women excel at knowing what people are feeling. Men have difficulty spotting an emotion unless someone cries or threatens bodily harm.
3. Women over 50 are likely to initiate divorce. (In the local setting, women choose to stay in the marriage for practical reasons -- social status and family pressure, financial dependence.)
4. Women use 20,000 words per day. Men use only 7,000 words per day.
5. Thoughts about sex enter women’s brains once every couple of days. For men, thoughts about sex occur every minute.
As the article says, "The sooner women -- and those who love them -- accept and appreciate how those neurological differences shape female behavior, the better we can all get along."

Honestly, I was just thinking about where gay men fit on that list. Studies show that homosexual men's emotional and communication styles are more similar to heterosexual females than heterosexual males, but in terms of sex drive, gay men are more similar to straight men. So, on points #1-#4, I'd say gay men are more like women, but on #5, gay men are more like the majority of men.
There is a book that explains the differences in the ways men and women think in a more scholarly
(read researched) way.

Men and woman are different and there is nothing wrong with that. Woman have strengths just as men do. One is no better then the other.
