“I think the point is that women don’t understand men as well as they think, and frequently they don’t want to even be bothered to understand. Frustration on either side is unacceptable. I think we can agree on that.”

And the point female freeps are making is that men don’t understand women as well as they think.
So we’re all in the same boat I guess.

Absolutely, as men are reminded on a daily basis in our culture, but your point is already well known, while men’s frustration is ignored, and even demeaned. That is what I see as the point of the article.
Neither sex has a monopoly on the subject.
I think talking about it is good though.

The difference is that men (in general) KNOW they don’t understand women, where the reverse is seldom true. Far too many women (and I work in the womens’ world of a hospital, 90+% female) think they know all there is to know about men. To learn, one must start by realizing that one doesn’t know all, and start seeking to fill the gaps. If you don’t even know you HAVE gaps to fill, that isn’t going to happen.
I’m not Rumsfeld, but those unknown unknowns are the ones that really end up biting the tender portions of the anatomy themost.
