I wonder if I’m as left-brained as I’ve always thought?
Most people would say that men tend to be left-brained thinkers and women tend to be right-brained thinkers. This misperception can inhibit men’s acceptance of their true nature.
I stumbled on this Men’s Web article that challenges the common notion.
Asked why most of us are confused about which gender thinks which way, Patricia gave an example dealing with emotions. We generally believe that women are more in touch with their emotions than are men because women talk more about their emotions. Patricia pointed out that this just indicates that women are better able to describe their emotions; that their natural verbal skills make this easier. Of course, being left-brained, women may also be more likely to put their emotions into verbal categories, and so they may actually be less in touch with their emotions than are men. The right-brained men, meanwhile, do not find it as easy to attach words to emotions and so do not talk about what they feel.
