This gives the female of our species an advantage when it comes to thinking and feeling at the same time.
Since the advent of the Women’s movement, there has been a greater focus on the need for men to express their emotions and consider the desires of their partner or spouse. Sensitivity training for couples has become popular and men are encouraged to develop an instinct for tenderness.
