That's my new philosophy!
Everyone needs a new philosophy every once in a while, just ask Sally from the scene above (isn't Kristin Chenoweth great). A buddy recommended I read the book "Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps". The book's thesis is that humans have millions of years of evolutionary programming for gender roles and that today's beliefs that all humans are fundamentally identical fights that genetic history.
The book tries to apply this thesis to just about everything in life, from the two points in its title to LGBT behavior and why women are underrepresented in science and math.
It's a quick read and will make you think. While I definately don't buy everything in this book, it can give you some tips for understanding how stereotypical people think. It also explains to me why I turn off the radio when I'm trying to talk. Maybe it will even give you a new philosophy!
Note: I may be able to get interested readers a soft copy of this book.
