I don't recall the details but I recall seeing something that explained some of the differences in that the male mind is like rooms in a house in that he is in this or that room, and women are more like the house has one large room. So sharing one's feelings is a specific room in the house, watching tv is another room, ect.
Also the male prefers to focus on one thing at a time, and the female samples things and quickly goes from thing to thing. Like the male will focus on a tv show, but a female will focus a few seconds on the tv show, then on what is in the room they are in, back to the tv, ect.
Likely there are differences in the way the two genders think.
