The toilet seat thing is an evolutionary quirk too if you think about it
I hesitate to link to this post at ABC News story for reasons which will become obvious. But if it is true that men have a good reason for having difficulty listening to women I believe the truth should out no matter the consequences (via Ace of Spades HQ).
Men who are accused of never listening by women now have an excuse - women's voices are more difficult for men to listen to than other men's. Reports say researchers at Sheffield University in northern England have discovered startling differences in the way the brain responds to male and female sounds. The research shows men decipher female voices using the auditory part of the brain that processes music, while male voices engage a simpler mechanism.
