I have the following theory, and welcome your observations.
Generally:
1. Men do not understand women, or the way women think. However, men realize that they do not understand women, or the way women think. Men understand that they did not grow up being a woman, know that there are huge differences between men and women, and know they cannot possibly know or understand women, or the way women think.
2. Women do not understand men, or the way men think. However, unlike men, women do not realize that they do not understand men, or the way men think. In fact, women believe they understand men and why they do what they do - enough to tell the man why he is wrong. While Women understand that they did not grow up a man, they believe there are some differences between men and women that can be overcome by explaining their emotions, and they do not fully understand that they cannot possibly know or understand men, or the way men think.
This may sound funny or as if I am joking - but this is serious conjecture on my part.
Do you agree with 1. and 2. above?
