How different are women and men psychologically?

Question

How much of it is influenced by society?

What are some of the differences in men and women's brains?

Answer 1

From what I've experienced in my life, my conclusion is that we're kilometres apart.....& never the twain shall meet!...lol...

Answer 2

I think women are more suseptable to emotions due to hormones while men are more ego driven.  

Society says men and women should behave certain ways.  While I don't disagree with that statement, I feel people secure enough in their situations, be it a job, family, relationship, whatever, they can diverge from societal norms to be themselves.  They seem to be happier if not a bit outcast by society as a whole.

Answer 3

Well, as far as societal influence, I believe that the difference lies mostly in what that society stipulated that a man or a woman had ought to be, and so they will process information based on that. I think this is greater in societies that emphasize 'masculinity' and 'femininity' to a greater degree than other, more liberal societies.
