She's gotta be talkin' about Meigs, closed and plowed up in the middle of
the night: The only thing I don't quite get -- my ex never even met Daley.

"Louann Brizendine's feminist ideals were forged in the 1970s, so the UCSF
neuropsychiatrist is aware that some parts of her new book, "The Female
Brain," sound politically incorrect.

Such as the part about how a financially independent woman may talk about
finding a soul mate, but when she meets a prospective mate her brain is
subconsciously sizing up his portfolio. Or the part describing the
withdrawal pains moms feel when they return to work and can no longer cop a
hormonal high from breast-feeding their babies.

Women have come a long way toward equality over the past 50 years, but the
Yale-trained Brizendine, 53, says her research indicates that human brains
are still wired for Stone Age necessities.

Male and female brains are different in architecture and chemical
composition, asserts Brizendine. The sooner women -- and those who love
them -- accept and appreciate how those neurological differences shape
female behavior, the better we can all get along.

Start with why women prefer to talk about their feelings, while men prefer
to meditate on sex.

'Women have an eight-lane superhighway for processing emotion, while men
have a small country road,' she writes. Men, however, "have O'Hare Airport
as a hub for processing thoughts about sex, where women have the airfield
nearby that lands small and private planes.'"
