There's an interesting book on the real differences between men and women. They concluded that it's mostly some minor physical differences, and mostly the differences are experiential differences. Rather than women are prone to think this or that way just because they are women - it has more to do with the experiences they've had.
For example, women are supposedly more helpful and compassionate. But they found that men are also just as helpful in their own way. For example, they know how to change a tire and often they are more than willing to help with things like that. So also this book breaks down the negative stereotypes of what men are supposedly supposed to be like as well.
It irritates me when I read things about what women think, when I often don't think that way. For example "chick flicks". I'm supposed to like films like "Sleepless in Seattle" - which I found a bore. And not like action films and such. As a kid, my older brother liked war movies, and so I developed a liking for war movies. (my fave- Bridge Over the River Kwai"). I do like romance, just as "Shall we Dance" - (the Japanese version naturally), if it's done intelligently, or funny, but most romance movies are such a bore. Why put up barriers for yourself, I'm curious so wouldn't want to limit myself to thinking in a particular way just because of my gender.
And this book showed that many of the ways that men and women are different in are...it's easier to show it geometrically. Take one circle for men, one circle for women, there is always an overlap. Therefore the possibilities for what you think or what you're like are limitless. So when you read articles that men are one way and women are another, it's very generalized, and yet they often don't point that out to you. Why would anyone want to limit themselves? I hope that makes sense. My brains are a bit mushy today. And what's the name of this book? I can't remember, but I'll let you know when the fog has cleared.
Someone in Seattle said that men and women are becoming more similar mentally. I think that's a good thing - we can understand each other better and relate more.

) But still there does exists the difference which we shouldn`t forget about and not to get aggravated with things which just can`t be done any other way and not an attempt to irritate each other
It's a sad story, but true... However I got a Barbie and also liked playing girl things with her by myself.
