Being a scientist myself, and thus being quite familiar with what kinds of things scientists publish, I suspect the differences between the sexes are a difference between the *average* of the two distributions of whatever parameter they measure. The difference between the averages may be statistically significant (in that the distributions are not identical), but I strongly suspect (without having done any of the research myself) that the width of the two distributions is much bigger than the difference between the averages, and secondly that the overlap region is also much bigger than the difference between the averages.

In other words, I strongly suspect that the range of different brains of one gender alone is much larger than the difference between the average guy and the average gal.

Put even more simply: sure differences exist, but I think we’re making way too big of a deal about them than they deserve.

Aside from the stereotypes, these dvd’s do sound good, but I wonder if I’m only want them for the entertainment. It really bothers me that it’s all taught by a man alone, and not by a man+woman team. Doesn’t that raise anyone else’s eyebrow?

It was pretty funny but I really get suspicious when a marriage seminar is being taught by only one gender. I get even more suspicious when a summary of men’s and women’s brains is given by one gender. How the hell does he know what goes on in a woman’s brain?? And what gives him the right to be joking about a particular people group that he is not a member of? I would find the jokes much more tasteful if the seminars were co-taught by a woman who joked around about the genders from a woman’s perspective.

That said, if you say this series is egalitarian, then it is a gold mine. Egalitarian marriage resources are sooo hard to find.
