So that's it?!

Revelation. Imagine a crystal ball of innocence smashing on the floor. Tadaa!

I never thought I'd take this approach to life, but listening to my mother (and growing a sincere appreciation for her thoughts on femininity, life and relationships) has meant I'm seeing things differently.

Communication is essential in life. Fair. Communication between men and women is essential FOR life. Fair. However, we communicate differently.

I ask Mama J (my mother dearest) "So boys brains are the same as animals brains. Just wait for food, to poo and to play outside?"

Mama J says "Yes! Seriously. Just think about it!"

I have thought. Lots. How sad to realise it is true.

They only need to be told what to do next. They don't think about what to do. They just wait for some reason to have to do something.

As opposed to women, who think between actions, pre-emptive and preparing. Men think in response to actions.

I know, I know this is mass generalisation. But I like it. I like seeing things this way right now. It's oddly inspiring. I have no idea how to manoevre through communication warfare with this new found insight. I will have to learn that through experience. When I asked lots of guys recently "What are you thinking", nine out of ten said the clichéd one-liner "Nothing at all". Really? Are male minds blank, until provoked? Personally, imagining a mind with no thoughts in it, is like suffocating. How does someone NOT think at any moment in time? But just realising all of this, and sadly giving away the benefit of the doubt, has been an eye opener.

And now I'm tired, it's time to close these seemingly pseudo sexist eyes for some sleep. Ttfn. X
