This article talks about some differences between the way men see and the way women see. The author argues that from an evolutionary standpoint, women have had a more domestic role and thus pay more attention to objects that are closer and have a broader scope of sight. Whereas men, who had the role of hunting, are more inclined to see objects farther away, with a sort of tunnel vision. Although I am not sure I agree with this argument, I think it is an interesting issue that is brought up. Do men and women see the world differently? Are our 'realities' different?
