Have an opinion? Add your comment below. Men and Women are not the same! This is one of the reasons that radio is such a great medium to reach women - because they can listen to the radio and at the same time incorporate the information into a conversation they are having.

Women listen with both sides of their brains at the same time. Men typically listen with one side of the brain at any one time.
