Hey PCH,
You hit the nail right on the head.
Women are Venutians, men are Martians.
In social groups; women talk about people, feelings and dreams, men like to discuss toys.
As boys, if a boy can't play a certain game on even level, too bad. Rules are rules.
Girls will change the game rules to include a handicapped player.
I think it stems from the roles of what we evolved from. Males were protectors and providers. Not strictly, but generally speaking. Males developed ideas for tools and weapons.
Women, on the other hand needed to relate well with other women in the tribe or herd, group? they needed to provide support for each other.
And so the interests of Martians and Venutians developed from the survival roles of our ancestory.
Men like hunting and fishing. Women prefer ....? Hmm, what do women like?
Cheers Marty
