Pretending there is no difference between men and women is a total dead end.

Emotions and social games are a lot trickier to navigate for men, who didn't have umpteen years of evolution to practice.

In a lot of ways, we're expecting men to be more like women, and women more like men, while hating each other for it. Divide and conquer, the oldest game in the book.

Men being expected to be in tune with their emotions to the same level, and women expected to be has ruthless and dominant as any male in business; just to pick two.

The sad part is that most men "need" feminine energy to complement their own, and vice versa.
