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?

Women are not worse or better. Just different. Why some women fail: they assume men/boys think and act just like them.

They may have been told that the way men act is due to habits that can be changed. Men can adapt but programming eventually overrides. Both men and women have to compromise and meet somewhere in the middle.

An observation: many claim that a woman would make a better leader than a man. I question this statement because women can be very unpleasant if they have been hurt in any way. They will carry a vendetta forever against the person who hurt them. They think about it day in and day out. Eventually, they will forget. But probably never forgive. And only after many days, weeks, months, of thinking about it do they forget. Probably the way they cope.

"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" is very true.
