Just had a thought in response to you question the other day. And I think it’s this: (as a vast overgeneralization )

Women are less willing to pay rational behavioral adaptation costs, and more willing to pay social adaptation costs. The former requires they monitor their thinking and change it, the second means they feel the circumstance and adapt to it without rational demand.

Men however must constantly outwit the hunted, and so readily adapt to facts, regardless of social constraints.

(My ex-wife Allora was one of the few women (and there are quite a few) that are intellectually attached, and sufficiently emotionally detatched such that they can adapt their thinking in response to pure ideas. It’s probably why we were such a devastating team.)
