The above image may be an extreme portrayal of what men and women believe each other thinks about. Notice the women's brain has much more serious topics such as babies, love and security whereas the men's brain is half filled with sex and then beer and TV. While this portrayal is not true for all men and women, it is certainly evident in some. Watch the clip from the show, Friends, below and you will be provided with an example to this portrayal of the male and female brains.
There is undoubtedly distinct differences among men and women. Obviously, for one, women have the ability to give birth, while men do not share in this ability. A less obvious difference for some to realize is the communication styles among men and women. Theorist, Deborah Tannen, states that women communicate using rapport talk, while men communicate using report talk. Rapport talk is, "The typical style of women, which seeks to establish connection with others" (439. Report talk is, "The typical monologic style of men, which seeks to command attention, convey information, and win arguments" (439). While these differences may generally hold up, there are certainly exceptions.
