Men and women really are *much* more alike psychologically than different but we notice subtle differences more than we notice similarities which we just take for granted.

The average British man is 69 inches tall & so it is universally acknowledged that men are taller than women even tho I am 69 inches tall and my closest male friend 65 inches tall. The difference exists, is expected and is remarked upon when it doesn't hold up as it often doesn't

The same seems to be true of psychological differences tho obviously they vary in degree but we (nearly) all speak both empathetically AND factually, we (nearly) all like things AND people, we nearly exercise both cautious & risk-taking behaviour.

But those differences are significant and do affect our lives, our job choices and our relationships. If we don't acknowledge them, we'll be forever looking for the wrong solutions to problems and looking for solutions to problems that aren't problems.

But to go too far the other way and insist that men and women are fundamentally different psychologically neglects the far greater degree to which we are the same and can result in a loss of shared humanity and individuality in our thinking.
