It is, of course, men who are more likely to inhibit themselves for the sake of appearing to be sensible and dependable. If pressed, I will agree that more women than men wish to appear wonderfully sensitive and intuitive, and may stop being realistic in order to deceive themselves and other people. On the other hand, women in general tend to be more realistic and yet in certain matters more open-minded than men, more ready to resist that pressure of opinion. They are less likely to be put into blinkers by ideas.
Moreover as a rule the average woman notices far more than the average man; she has a better eye for detail than he has; she makes a more alert witness. (en) |
