Quote: "A much larger percentage of a woman's brain is devoted to nuance, subtlty in verbal and nonverbal communication; emotional expression, perception and interpretation etc."

Question: "That's all well and good, but what are the practical implications of it?"

Answer: probably not PC but here goes... "practical implications" -- healthy offspring. IMHO, women are programmed (mostly nature, some nurture) to be nurturing towards their children. They are excellent communicators. They have to be.

So you're saying the same quality that brings conflict to marital relations enhances parental relations?

Could one not just as easily assert women have difficulty in relationships where their role is not at least quasi-parental?
