Sympathize, with the different burdens we each face
Understand, even as we hope to be fully understood
Recognize and respect differences
Forgive, even as God forgives us

“Countless tests on thousands of women made it clear that the little blue pill [Viagra] though able to stir arousal, did not always evoke sexual desire.” They’re done trying for now. “Viagra’s failure underscored the obvious: when it comes to sexuality, men and women to some extent are differently tuned. For men, arousal and desire are often intertwined, while for women, the two are frequently distinct. Scientists have recently begun to map out how this difference shows up in the brain.” There is mention of another study last year at Northwestern U. that points up the distinction in women. However, a doctor from NYU says “Differences between genders are boring The big differences are within the sexes, between individuals. It is not the case that every person pays attention to the same thing.” Michael Gurian, author of many books on boy / girl differences and their roots in brain differences, should be so pleased.
