Really, men and women are not that different. It really just comes down to a few mannerisms and word choices, as well as some different social priorities.
I don't know about this. Men and women are raised differently. There are different expectations: more supervision for girls, less tolerance for poor behavior. More pressure to conform for girls. My brothers had more freedom, fewer household chores. When I was a teen, my father made it clear he did not believe women needed to be educated. I no longer hear people saying that out loud, but that belief still has a place in the back of many minds, both male and female on this planet. Take a look at the instances on domestic violence in your own cities. You will be stunned at the number.
In my experience, men react differently to a man in charge than a women in charge. I am not saying every man resents the boss who is a woman, but when the regime changes from male to female, policies that went unquestioned in the past are challenged by the alphas and former fun loving lunchroom chats can become awkward, even unpleasant.
I think men and women write differently- the emotional piece, certainly. Men are more likely to write with "an economy of words" and expect the reader to make more of their own inferences- not all men. Women generally take greater risks with their writing, even in their responses to essay questions, to illustrate a point three examples rather than one. I like to think men and women complement each other; we need both for a balanced world.
