I think it mostly depends on how one is raised... and again, on the individual person overall. Each person is different, and you can't know what they will be like mentally based on their gender.
My SO and I are very similar. We had similar interests as kids, and we are still a lot alike. We'll think the exact same things at the same time a lot, too, and one of us will say it first, but the other will always be like, "I was going to say that," or, "I was thinking the same thing."
The main difference in how our brains work is in relation to emotion lol I'm sensitive, and I read too much into 'hidden meanings' behind what is said by others based on tones and the feeling in the room, and he doesn't do that at all. I also am prone to anxiety and depression, and I don't think he has had anxiety a day in his life, and he hardly gets depressed aside from normal events that would make most people depressed.
That doesn't mean it's a difference because of my being a woman or him being a man, as it could be the reverse in some men and women. We're all just a mixed bag of goodies! lol
I am just not one for generalising like this. It involves judging people too critically, which does not bode well for good relationships.
Heatherly has highlighted an individual in her review, and that is fair enough. But for anyone to suggest that her husband is just the same as around 4 billion others is just plain bonkers. I know my ex wasn't like that.
.....and if men are fair game for generalising, are we also? Can few of you tell Heather and I apart?

I agree with what's been said: we are all a mixture of traits and personalities. Separating between men and women doesn't work or make sense: at least not to me. We are all a mixture of masculine and feminine, if you wish to use those terms.
Again, we are also different. Men are certainly NOT always the macho, big-man image: there are plenty of kind and sensitive - even emotional - men out there. And there are macho-type women out there. It really depends on the individual person.

I agree , I was rather harsh in a thread recently which I felt generalised women and their behaviour, if we dont expect men to generalise us why do we think its ok for women to do it?
I feel.
There are as many types of men as there are types of women each person is an individual and surely thats wonderful? why do we humans constantly feel the need to tag and box people into pigeon holes?

Because it can be useful, I think. As well as with political views, for example. Yes, each person is an individual, but there are the Left and the Right and it's important.

And you cannot seperate the person from either their sexuality or their politics?

thats sad..
No, of course, I can separate a person from their politics. But I don't think that I must do it.

You probably should if you actually want to know them. Not even those of the same political party will have the exact same thoughts or feelings. There can be commonalities, of course, but you cannot 100% ever say it actually applies to literally everyone of that group.
I believe there is a benefit in knowing the difference. Differences that serve only as a GUIDE, not as a rule. Hence, no generalisation should be imposed. This topic has been popular among researchers and academic scholars. There are so much more to explore. My favourite is what neuroscience contributes to this debate. Brain plasticity.

No, I don’t think so. If I want to know somebody, I should see all sides of this person. Why should I throw away this side of somebody? And who said that those of the same political party would have the exact same thoughts or feelings? Definitely not me
I had once romantic relation with a girl from our Nazi party. When I kissed her it was one thing, but when we discussed politics I never concealed from her that I found her political views disgusting

Just watch for the goose step. It could be painful!

and in the left and right,,, there are weird mixtures of degrees and also, who really knows what is in a person's heart, unless, we have real, consistent, and honesty.
I don't know the main difference. I just know people when they interact with me
I know how my mom and dad were and both were mean and both were nice....at times
my mom whooped my butt
my dad beat me
I know this is the case with others too, and also others (like my wife who never got hit once) are very different.
The main difference is that most men think about their own needs before other people's needs, and they also have much greater belief in their own abilities then women have.
