Men and Women

I’ve discovered very recently that men and women are different in what interests them and how they communicate.  I hope this statement doesn’t brand me as a sexist or, is taken as a hard and fast rule or, is taken to mean that one gender has special abilities over the other except in the matter of procreation.  The difference is only important to me in the way I talk to people.  Simply put, women like stories about people and men like stories about how to do something.  When I’m conversing with my wife on long drives and I try to talk about how my various devices work my wife loses interest very quickly.  However, I can get around that ennui by spicing up the story with how various people in my life helped me discover how these things work.  I’m leaning toward a belief that our primitive ancestors, before we were even a species called homosapien, lived in groups which were dominated by females.  The social hierarchy was the primary job of women and men only became leaders because some doting mother wanted her genes spread as widely as only a male can spread them.
