gender differences

Submitted by gflaherty on Sun, 04/20/2008 - 10:02pm.

I started surfing the web looking for interesting articles on perceived reality and eyesight and came across this short article. 

http://geniusbeauty.com/men-and-women/its-proved-men-see-six-time-worse-than-women/

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?
