Women and men process information differently. Niether way is more correct, just different. I have really enjoyed your contributions to the Intersection blog. Your opinions are welcome. Cal Sheril,

Online harassment of female bloggers (and even commenters) is a very real problem, and would explain some of the gender difference.

The review says this is the consensus view. It mentions, e.g., that men are more likely than women to help strangers, "strangers" usually being members of a large group the guy belongs to (student body, say). That's also true of Ache foragers in Paraguay: men pursue food items that can be widely shared throughout the group (game animals and honey), while females pursue smaller items that can't be divvied up that way, focusing only on feeding their close relatives. What that is is another discussion, but this shows that the pattern extends from industrial to hunter-gatherer societies.
