No, it doesn't sound bad. If you read down a few comments you'll see I've already dealt with that.

That would be the best marriage proposal EVER.

Wife a load. Wow. I need to work that into conversation.

I've learned something new after reading this. Apparently, "wife" is now a verb.

You're absolutely right. Good communication skills are the key to a healthy relationship. My whole issue with the original article was that Jezebel seems to imply that it's sexist just to say that women and men might have different ways of doing or saying the same thing. It's not sexist to suggest that. Clearly, men…

I don't know how to explain the trans community. I'm not a neurologist, geneticist, psychologist. I don't have enough facts to even attempt to explain that.

I love how it misses the jump but then clings to the sheets like, "I meant to do that." ::sigh:: Oh, cats.

You're obviously very angry, and I'm sorry you have so much rage inside you. But this thread is not the place for it. Just because you or someone you know has been kicked out of the running for a job for being a woman does not give you the right to be ugly to other people. Judging from the tone of your comments, I'm…

Yeah. There's culture. People are often socialized to act in certain ways. I don't know why you're being so ugly about it. My guess is that you don't actually have anything useful to say, so you're hiding behind snark and sarcasm.

Are you suggesting that black people and white people don't react to things differently on occasion? Because that would be silly. People of different races may not react differently on a grand scale, but it would be naive to suggest that our culture hasn't taught different racial groups to react differently to certain…

If Jezebel didn't already do this kind of stuff all the time, I probably wouldn't take issue with it. I just sometimes wonder if we're all being trolled here.

Yeah. I don't need a team of scientists to tell me that Lady Sukington goes like this and Lord Sulkington goes like that.

And then Jezebel takes it and presents it as if the act of suggesting that men and women sometimes react differently to situations is sexist. That's what I'm against.

Apparently a lot of women do it. I cant imagine why they would do it. It sounds awful to me. My boyfriend used to make me go pants shopping with him because he didn't trust his own instincts. It is just the most boring thing ever.

As far as I can tell, this study isn't delving into that. They're talking about observable differences, not what causes those differences. That's why I said that whether or not those differences is inherent or socialized is a different story. Because it's not addressed here.

Happens to the best of us!

No one said that 100% of women do this. The study didn't say that. The study found it to be true more often than not. My own observations fit with that. That's why I said it's not a solid rule.

Why is everyone so quick to dismiss the idea that men and women might actually have different styles of doing or thinking about things? I mean, it's not a solid rule, but my experience tells me that it's true 90% of the time. That's not being sexist. It's making an observation.

The risk is twice as high if you've been working the night shift for 30 years or more.

This is startlingly accurate.
