Allan and Barbara Pease have written an entertaining and insightful book describing the differences in the way brains of men and women are structured and how it influences their ability to perceive reality. They examine why men have a hard time finding things in the refrigerator and why it is not a good idea to have a deep discussion with a man while he is driving a vehicle.
I admit to almost not buying this book because of the title. But it is well researched. They have an extended discussion about the influence that testosterone and estrogen have in the development of the brain. They point to research that shows that women are able to parallel park much better after receiving injections of testosterone.
The reason men have a more difficult time finding things in the fridge is because they have more cones designed to see objects far away. Women have cones more widely distributed and this allows for better peripheral vision.
