It's a popular conception that women's thought processes are less logical and rational than their male counterparts; that the FemBrain relies more on intuition and emotion than Classical Reasoning for decision-making. Do you find this to be true?

I think that this is just stereotypes because all women are different... at times I am logical and rational and at times i am intuitive and emotional... Just like men they can be both at times.

Generally most women are this way, but never understimate a woman in intelligence, she will suprise you. Estrogen is hormone that causes strong aversions towars feelings and emotions, testarone causes a strong aversion towards aggression. The funny thing is that Estrogen is very attracted to Testasterone and vice versa. Both sexes have to deal with hormones that are pushing them towards being more emotional (aggression is an emotion too), than intellectual. Just as many stupid men as women, men just hide it better due to the nature of Testasterone. People grow out of this, no I don't find it to be true. Consider that you don't see many male airheads because they aren't getting into places based on their looks (the nature of testasterone allows this for many women, and not many men). Interesting topic. Reconsider your original thesis.

We are beings who live best in a balance, since we come from such...so, in basics, your statement contains truth...we ARE different...and with good "reasoning"...
Males are the logic (rational? hmmm...LOL), the black & white of duality...Females are the intuition, the emotion, they cover the grey area...together we create a whole-sum-ness that encompasses the all.
You witness the consequences of lack of balance in our society thusfar...when males "took over" negating balance, we experienced destructive wars, hatreds & abuses of each other, technologies that over-rode our humanities, & devastation of our home...sooo, we can say from this, that logic without heart does not create wisdom...yes???

I find it to be unmitigated bullshit. Females only have an agenda which differs from males. And the rules are very different. Ask your Mom.

Popular when? In 1950, maybe. No, it's not true.
