We know that gender roles have changed over time and that, to some extent gender roles vary from one culture to another. Yet we usually think that as a culture becomes more “modern” the differences between genders become smaller. But some new studies, summarized in this New York Times article suggest otherwise. As John Tierney writes in his article, if these scientists are right, “men and women shouldn’t expect to understand each other much better any time soon.” Oh, well.
