Excellent point.
Im not a neurologist nor a sociologist so I can't give an opinion on what actually happens in the brain etc.
In my marriage I am the emotional one compared to my husband. I can use that for blessing (empathy, compassion, caring, serving) or for sin (emotionally manipulating my husband and others). I have a logical side as well, otherwise how would I be able to problem solve and study my bible and other things.
If a problem arises that is relational in nature, I will probably focus on the emotional side of things. Thats why we have words like 'womens intuition' and 'gut instinct'. Its not necessarily logical but as we know that kind of knowledge we can't explain is quite powerful stuff, esp where it concerns raising children. If I see a problem that doesn't involve people and is more like a mental puzzle I use my logical side, like building something.
Another thing, I think this big question should be thought of another way. Women are more face to face socialising people whereas men are more shoulder to shoulder socialisers. Women typically can sit in a cafe for hours with another woman and talk about relationships and intimate feelings without there being an activity between them to keep them stimulated. Men typically NEED an activity to socialise with others, like sports, BBQ (making fire), building/fixing something. I don't know why this is, its just something Ive observed with everyone I know. Men strike me as very tunnel visioned people. They see a task and they get it done and they are focused on one thing as a time. Whereas women strike me as more peripheral visioned people. They look at possibilities, multiple things that can happen, who is involved. They look at the progress to the task more than the task itself. During a task, men talk about the task and their opinion about it. During a task women talk about how the task affects them personally.
Just a thought
