John Gray wrote a book called "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus." It was pretty popular. Do you know the basic theory behind it?

There was a hypothesis that men and women’s brains were wired differently, and as a result men and women saw the world through very different perspectives.  When different ways of perceiving the world are paired, conflicts in values and beliefs can arise.

That sounds about right. Can you give some examples from the book?

One of the most famous hypotheses is that men are essentially from Mars, and women from Venus.

I think that might be a metaphor, not quite literal. One example was, men sometimes process anger like a dragon in a cave. Do you know of any other metaphors from the book?

Here’s another one, “A woman thinks about what is, and a man thinks about what should be. A woman takes in, a man speaks out.”

I'm unsure that sounds accurate, and it's okay if you aren't familiar with the book.

I did learn a lot about it, and the ideas are so well-known that it seems like a lot of people must have given you these examples!  For instance, John Gray is a popular speaker.

Oh, it's not from the book. It was a comment made by Mary Eller about the book, in The Atlantic. I can find a link for you, if you're interested.
