Yes, I’m making generalizations—but the gender differences do exist

Yes, of course I am making major generalizations here, and not every man (or every woman) will think or feel or process or communicate the same. But on my surveys (and the surveys of many other social scientists), and in the fMRI scans done by neuroscientists, it is beyond debate that men and women often simply have different neuro-emotional wiring. Anything else is simply wishful thinking on the part of people who don’t want it to be so.
