“How do women’s minds work?”<\/p>\n
Try this question on any man: All you’ll get for an answer is a
\nshrugging of shoulders along with a puzzled facial expression. The one
\nthing neither rocket scientists nor astrophysicists will ever be able
\nto comprehend is how women think and feel. Bill Watterson’s eternal
\nsix-year old Calvin (from “Calvin & Hobbes”), no smart scholar, but
\nthe epitome of the self-assured yet forever puzzled boy, summarizes
\nhis incomprehension of the opposite gender: “What is it like to be a
\ngirl? Is it like being a bug? I imagine bugs and girls have a dim
\nperception that nature has played a cruel trick on them, but they lack
\nthe intelligence to really comprehend the magnitude of it!”<\/p>\nIn reality it is, of course, the other way around. Nature has played a
\ncruel trick on men \u2013 rather than on women. Men’s minds, for the most
\npart, work along a single longitudinal path: A triggers B, B triggers
\nC and so forth. They consider themselves to be smart, because they are
\nbarely able to grasp causal chains. Men’s intelligence is expressed by
\nthe extent to which they can estimate or predict a sequence of steps
\nin a chain reaction. Like chess players, some men can think one or two
\nsteps ahead, some seven or eight. Alternatives to their
\none-dimensional, allegedly “logical” path of thinking are beyond their
\nimagination.<\/p>\nWomens minds, on the other hand, are much more complex. Women embrace
\nseveral different natures in their personality. In addition to the
\nmen’s straightforward “logical” way of thinking, they (according to C.
\nG. Jung) incorporate a personification of the unconscious
\ncounter-sexual image, in other words the inner man in a woman. This
\narchetype encompasses a number of instincts that are quite useful in
\nsupplementing a woman’s emotions. In addition, women’s minds embrace a
\nthird governing force, the so-called “shadow”, a counter-image of
\ntheir true character. The working-type woman, for instance, can
\nidentify with the feelings of a spoiled tootsie. A woman who has run
\nexpeditions in Ethiopia, Somalia and Afghanistan all her life, can
\nsuddenly become flustered at the run of a nylon stocking. What makes
\nwomen so unfathomable to men is that they can leap in a split second
\nfrom one level of their personality to the other. As a consequence,
\nthat charming lady you are flirting with suddenly turns into a
\nsharp-tongued businesswoman, only to react like a helpless college
\ngirl in the next moment. It would be asking too much of a man’s mind,
\nbeing merely a simplified, incomplete version of a woman’s mind, to be
\nable to comprehend this kind of complexity in the opposite gender.<\/p>\nOf course, one might argue that men also incorporate an anima and a
\nshadow in their personality. So what? The effect of all three
\npersonalities is still the same: A unilateral drive towards ambition,
\ncompetition and ultimately triumph. Let’s face it: We men are
\npathetically simple minded. How simple minded? Swiss author Melina
\nMoser knows the answer. She lists the only three things men need to be
\nhappy: Admiration, oral sex and freshly pressed orange juice.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Do you like Sex and the City? Do you enjoy mundane conversation?
