Thanks. Interesting. But hardly surprising. I have always known (well, maybe not until I was 15 or so, but certainly since then) that the answer you get depends on the question you ask. And there is no doubt in my mind that men and women ask different questions and take fundamentally different approaches to virtually any issue, and particularly any social science issue. As a lawyer working from time to time in divorce law, I don't need any proof that men and women respond differently to similar facts. Indeed, I intentionally deal differently with cases depending on which spouse I represent. Indeed, I deal differently with the other side's attorney depending on whether I'm working with a male or female attorney. AND, since our Superior Court system has one male and one female judge, for cases that do go to trial I prepare them differently depending on which judge I'm in front of. And when we're settling I usually recommend settling them differently depending on which judge I would be in front of if we DID go to trial. Not necessarily better or worse, but differently. Our State constitution has one of the strongest equal rights provisions in the nation -- indeed, probably in the world. Very simple: "Equality of rights and responsibility under the law shall not be denied or abridged on account of sex." But even a Constitution can't erase the fundamental differences between the way the male and female minds work.
