do men think different than women in general?
Yes, women think they know a person within seconds of talking to them. Perhaps even before they start talking.

I could make a day long list of gender differences in general but Iām in too good of a mood today

In some ways. Men are more interested in macho things, like American football, military things, and cars. Women are more interested in cooking, clothes, and relationships. That isnāt to say there canāt be overlap. A lot of the differences between the way men and women think is because of the roles that have been forced on them since they were growing up. Itās really hard to know how much is innate, and how much is learned. Some kids come into the world with a disposition already formed. My sister and brother in law were going to try to keep my nephew from being obsessed with guns, so they didnāt buy him play guns to play with. When he started to nible his graham crackers into the shape of a gun they decided he would be less obsessed with them if they let him have play guns. That kid came into this world with a disposition, but you can see how my sisterās and brother in lawās nurturing has softened him.

I think some men think differently than some women, but there is a lot of overlap, and no thought pattern is exclusive to one gender.Ive been told by different people that men look more at details than women, and that women look at details more Han men. Iāve been told men focus on a solution, while women just want someone to listen to their complaints. Iāve been told that men just like to complain, but women look for a solution. I think every person has their own ideas of gender-based thought patterns depending on their personal observations, but none of them are very accurate.

Yes, but there are men who think more like women and women who think more like men too.
Men usually express themselves with fewer words and are more interested in facts than feelings. Women conversely include more details in their sentences and are more social.
More difference too but those are two important ones.
From a mans perspective, I find women get way more defensive, less egoless , but thatās probably cuz itās from a mans perspectiveā¦and I ignore the gender attacks on women. I notice this board is getting increasingly split by gender 
No good. Thatās the real issue here. Men think they have it tougher while women think they have it tougherā¦when in reality itās probably about equal, and more about your self than gender roles. I do notice an increase in āfeministsā (self proclaimed) on this board, whereas if your a āmaleonistā youāre a mysogynist ā¦I find that unfair. But this board has been split by gender more and more recently instead of uniting as schizophrenics
My 2 cents
We all have our strengths and weaknesses though. Regardless of gender. Maybe Iām wrong idk but my observations
Itās not like this in real lifeā¦even when two sexes have nothing in common they unite often
Feminism is about ending discrimination based on sex. There really is no opposite āmaleonistā as you put it. It is called feminism because historically it has been about women, for obvious reasons. We should maybe try to find a new word that is less confusing.

I agree if it was 1955ā¦and thereās still discrimination against both women and menā¦but itās crazy to devote your life to that given how far weāve come. Yes thereās mysogynjstic thinking (girls are often attracted to mysogynists though for some reason)ā¦but overall were equal now. Itās racism which gets me
People are still very racist, now anti-racismā¦thatās something to devote your thinking towards
Feminism isnāt meant to create a split, itās suppose to bring us togetherā¦I thought

I feel all these things have been made worse by the Internet. You would never know there are nice guys, bad boys and feministsā¦none of these things exist in real life
Youāre entitled to your opinion.
I think ending both racism and gender discrimination are good causes worth fighting for.

I think we need to dwell less on differences and instead dwell on our similarities as schizophrenics.
Ive been told that I am rather dense (I am a man)
That probably an understatement

everyone thinks differentlyā¦
but physiologically there are different ratios between grey and white matter in the brainsā¦
men are serial processorsā¦ women have hyperthreadingā¦ both have their advantagesā¦ men get ā ā ā ā done and do it rightā¦ women keep track of all the ā ā ā ā the men donāt think aboutā¦ itās really how weāve evolvedā¦ sexist as it isā¦
but even among a gender there is varianceā¦ you thinking to simply brawskiā¦that causes a lot of problems in the big picture when people all try to generalize thingsā¦
Yes, but that is not because of biology but because of the culture( we are taught to play our gender roles from the moment of birth. The most radical view on that subject is by a prominent feminist Judith Butler for whom a gender is just a performative act or legitimizing the thing by naming it. For example, an exclamation that follows every birth - it is boy or it is a girl - is the first step into construction of gender difference.)

True feminism is about equality. We live in a country where women can legally be fired because of pregnancy, women make less than men for doing the same job, and date rape is barely starting to be recognized as a criminal act. There is no menās healthcare organization frequently targeted for acts of domestic terrorism. Iād say we have a long way to go before we are truly equal.
monsieur hamster 
says " oui " 
take care 
Yes. Men think more mechanically and have better grasps on science (sorry, Iām feminist but itās true) while women think more abstractly and emotionally (thatās true, no offense) and have much better grasps on language and interpersonal skills (work better in socializing and nurturing and healing).
Men are more inclined to be competitive, women more cooperative.
The psychology saying of women is that they ātend and befriendā
My psychology slogan on men is āacquire and explainā. We tend to want to achieve and brag and then fully understand how things work.
Note that men are known for taking things by force. Men are also known for wanting impulses satisfied.
Women want emotional needs satisfied more than men do. Men see emotion as weak sometimes. Except for rage, they think thatās not āemotionalā they think itās ābadassā.
Sex for a man is about physical urges most of the time. Sex for women is about emotional needs most of the time.
Now what is interesting is gay men. Iām bisexual and have had relationships with other men and also women. The male-male relationships were pretty honest and straightforward. Really more understanding of what the other felt and thought and needed.
But the male-female relationships I have had were moreā¦involving me thinking about things I did not understandā¦but more natural feelingā¦I think I liked having a female influence on me to counter my male characteristics.
I am a feminist, you should note. I am pretty critical of men for good and valid reasons. I know how bad men can be.
So they are born with a difference between their communication and working skillsā¦?
Do you know what bipolar oppositions, once they are naturalized and institutionalized, did to women through the history ā¦with exactly same āargumentā. ā¦āsorry but itās trueā?
Edit: I meanā¦Iām not attacking youā¦but yeah a bit attacking you
