When it was revealed that scientific studies published in the new book "The Female Brain" demonstrate that women talk more than men, many of us responded with a collective shrug. Anyone who has ever been in a relationship with a member of the opposite sex -- whether romantic, familial or friendly -- knows that women talk more than men. A lot more.
"The Female Brain" indicates that not only do women talk three times as much as men, but they also get a chemical rush in their brains from hearing their own voices. This may explain why women describe "feeling better" after talking about problems or issues in their lives, beyond the mere relief of getting it off their chest.
But what is most fascinating about the book is the background of its author. A neuropsychiatrist at the University of California, San Francisco, and the head of a female mood and hormone clinic in San Francisco, Dr. Louann Brizendine is also a self-described feminist. In putting forward the results of clinical work and scientific analysis, Brizendine was forced to concede that everything she had been taught about gender was wrong. That is, men and women really are different. As she put it, "I know it is not politically correct to say this but I've been torn for years between my politics and what science is telling us. I believe women actually perceive the world differently from men."
None of this will come as a surprise to those already attuned to the politically incorrect reality of gender differentiation, but for those indoctrinated in the feminist school of gender uniformity, Brizendine's words are heresy....

Stillwell must not be married. If she were, she would have already figured this out. (and I'm not talking just physical differences)
I think I was around 5 or so when I figured this out.

I'm not dumb enough to comment on this one.
This is a huge discovery in San Francessepool. In the Cesse Pool by the Bay, they have long thought that men and women were the same and thus interchangeable.
NOW is going to cook this woman over a slow fire! I surprized she hasn't already been run out of San Fran on a tastefully decorated rail.

Friendship between Women:
A woman didn't come home one night. The next day she told her husband that she had slept over at a friend's house. The man called his wife's 10 best friends. One confirmed it.
Friendship Between Men:
A man didn't come home one night. The next day he told his wife that he had slept over at a friend's house. The woman called her husband's 10 best friends. Eight of them confirmed that he had slept over, and two claimed that he was still there.
I wonder if her being female will insulate her from the backlash that ultimate forced the ouster of Lawrence Summers.
God forbid you conclude anything that contradicts PC platitudes, even if it is demonstrably and empirically true.

I remember that up thru the early 90s (after which I quit watching), the only way Vietnam vets ever got on PBS was if they were weeping.
That's exactly what happened to Cinnamon: The Making Of A 9/11 Republican
Thanks for the link. It takes courage to admit you've been wrong all your life. Kudos to Cinammon.
It reminds me of the enlightenment of David Horowitz.
I credit discussions with my mother, when I was fourteen, late at night around the kitchen table. She allowed me to advocate and question the socialist position, then logically reason out for myself their obviously ludicrous consequences.
It is not necessary to know why a green persimmon will pucker your mouth, only the knowledge that it does is enough.
Isn't there supposed to be a "Captain Obvious" picture?
"The entertainment industry is big on pushing the gender envelope. Whether consciously or not, the progenitors of pop culture help to perpetuate a kind of gender role reversal. Women have become tough and controlling, while men are seen as weak and indecisive.
It has now become far more commonplace to see mere mortal female characters punching people in the face on a moment's notice, beating up or overpowering men and taking the romantic or sexual lead."
"TV shows are populated with male characters -- usually police officers or detectives -- who stand meekly by as their much more confident and assured female counterparts (who often happen to be their bosses) lead them by the hand. An episode from the first season of "Heroes" featured one such male character, with superpowers no less. Still, he was content to tag along in the rear as his aggressive female partner charged into a violent suspect's home instead of calling for backup. The fact that she and other such female characters typically weigh only 90 pounds and have more intimidating hairdos than they do physical prowess seems to make little difference."
The science fiction film industry especially, seemed to decide thirty years ago that all commando units are totally gender neutral. And no soldier can hold a candle next to the combat expertise of the little lady scientist.
"Maybe its time you looked at the rest of your political beliefs and compared them against reality - then (horrors!) you'll end up a conservative.'
Heh. And if it had been her religious beliefs instead?
