Review: Why Men Don’t Listen & Women Can’t Read Maps
By Allan and Barbara Pease
A humourous but serious book which explains a lot
This is a humourous but serious book which explains a lot. If you’ve ever been puzzled by why a partner, friend or relation of the opposite sex just doesn’t seem to "get it", this is the book for you.
The authors, themselves a husband and wife team, explain how most behavioral differences between the sexes can be explained by biological differences between men and women’s brains. In turn, these derive directly from millions of years of evolution to best fit traditional roles: "lunch chaser" and "nest defender". Political correctness is powerless to overturn things which are wired into our brains.
