NOT SO DIFFERENT
IN THE END
Over the last few decades, touchyfeely self-help books have painted
a picture of male-female
relationships as something
between an ongoing battle and a
complete exercise in futility.
They lecture that men and
women are different, with
completely different styles of
communication, thinking, and
behavior.
They’re not just different
sexes, they’re from
entirely different planets,
and never the twain shall
meet.
If all these things were true, it would be a miracle that any two people managed to have
a functioning relationship at all. Indeed, recent psychological research has shown that
women and men are far more alike than they are different, and many of the things that
we’re taught about the supposed differences in men’s and women’s brains are nothing
but mere myths.
