There is a significant body of research that indicates there may
be important differences between the male and female brain.

http://www.louannbrizendine.com is the website of Louann
Brizendine, who is really notable in this field.

However, while it is generally true that women and men do tend to
process things differently, individuals conform to their type to
a greater or lesser degree, and if you are a woman who is not
particularly empathic or socially oriented, or a man who is,
hearing people talk about this can make you feel like you are
from another planet, and not in a good way.
