Implying, those that have greater connections between the two hemispheres and better connections between the frontal Temporal and posterior Frontal lobes have better grasp of Reality -- whatever that is -- then those without such pathways.
Since women, in general, have more neural pathways than men the implication can be made women have a better grasp of Reality -- whatever that is -- than men.
Therefore, the average woman is more likely to have a better grasp on Reality -- whatever that is -- than the average man.
Therefore, under Indeterminate Epistemological situations one is better off to accept the average woman's grasp of the situation than the average man's.
Conclusion: If you are a guy, Shut Up and listen to what {Fran, In Wales, metavision, Barbara, Sam, ElaineinNM...} tells you.
QED.

That makes the rather large assumption that the neural pathways are accurately observing and modeling reality. If they're not then having more could mean that they actually are further away from reality. Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
The affect and effects of hormones on brain development, and how they impact stimulus processing is very much an area of on-going research. Gross-level testing implies a 'Female' (gender please note!) brain has finer grain response to certain stimuli than a 'Male' brain and a Woman's (extensive difference in levels of certain hormones -- and differences in the level of other neuro-transmitters) brains have responses to stimuli that, in some cases, do not overlap a Man's response to the same stimuli but is more responsive.
For other stimuli the reverse is true.
