Fathoming the Female Brain.

Difference? For several years, I worked primarily with men. At first, all of them were not friendly because women did not hold these jobs in the past. Some were vocal, others refused to talk to me, but I knew after a time, they would get used to it. They used to watch me sweat and laugh, let doors slam in my face and talk about me. I needed the job so the best I could do was ignore them and eventually it stopped and I was accepted. More women began filling these jobs and though it may not have been 50/50, we blended in just fine. We learned to work together and help each other when necessary.

Today, there are a lot of male RN's and I think it's a good thing. My gp is a female, and I really like her. I didn't select her for gender, I chose her after a male friend recommended her. Only things I am concerned with if a doctor listens and if their diagnoses are accurate. Bedside manner is also high on my list. Maybe you could explain what differences you refer to?

When I was in the Navy for 4 years. I worked with guys. When I got out, I got my RN. And I worked with primarily women. You can call it genetics, social training or whatever; there is a huge difference working with primarily men or primarily women.

Actually, a late friend of mine was a corrections officer in Canada's prison system and she worked with women for one stretch and then got transferred out, back into working with men. There was some huge difference in how the two sexes differed when she was dealing with them, although she never went into specifics.
 
When my husband worked as a corrections officer in a state prison here, he did not like working with women. He worked in a prison for men and said there were two reasons why he felt this way.

The first was he felt that the presence of women in a male prison housing unit "stirred up" the inmates. The second was that he felt that the women he had had to work with did not have the physical strength or the balls (his word, not mine) to react properly to a violent and potentially life threatening situation (the guards of course had no weapons). He found himself in one of those situations and said he spent time trying to protect the other officer when he should have been quelling the unruly inmates, and he was injured as a result. He said, as he predicted, that the inmates went for the woman first, perceiving her to be the weakest of the two.

He felt very strongly that women should not be guarding men, and men should not be guarding women. He thought it was a prescription for trouble of several sorts, including but not limited to sexual intimidation and matters of privacy (showers, for instance).
 

If I understood how females think I would have at least a dozen hot lovers who are happy to be my sugar mamma.

Alas, I scratch around for any female company I can get, if I can get it.
 
I'm not discussing if women can be high steel workers, like male American Indians, who are so famous. If guy A does not like B, it will be quite apparent by their behaviors. If the dislike is intense enough, it will lead to a physical fight between them. If gal A doesn't like B, it may not be apparent at all. In fact B may not be aware of any friction. If the dislike is intense enough, A will set B up, so that B will have some type of "trouble" befall her. But both sexes, when provoke enough, will cause the death of a enemy.

Yup, method of attack is different.
 
There are definitely gender differences in how the brain works. I reached my conclusion about most men (not all!) having a better sense of direction than most women, based not only on myself but what a lot of friends have told me. Nearly every woman I know says she has a terrible sense of direction. And I don't think this is learned behavior, I think it's probably real.

My husband was able to drive to someone's house and then go back 5 years later and remember exactly how he got there. He'd explain it something like: "You just turn right at the big rock and make a left where that big house is, etc." He'd act like this was the most natural thing in the world to do.
 
Sunny, my husband was exactly the same way. Also, when we'd be driving along, he would see things that I didn't.
