Do Men Have Less Empathy than Women?

I often hear it said that husbands struggle with demonstrating empathy in comparison to most wives. Perhaps this is true, and, perhaps, Dr. Louann Brizendine, a neuroscientist, was onto something when she demonstrated that both men and women tend to express empathy in different ways: women through the MNS(the mirror- neuron system), and men toward the TPJ (the temporal- parietal junction). It can be enormously beneficial for wives to realize how their husbands are trying to express empathy, even though it may not feel like it, and for husbands to realize how their wives often perceive their mode of demonstrating empathy as actually being a lack of empathy.
