Women from Mars, Men from Venus?

Women are from Mars and men are from Venus in John Gray's book clearly states the differences in both sexes. However there are really empirical facts about the similarities between the two. To some people, it is just a sensationalization of differences between men and women.

Nonetheless, the book attempts to understand things and provide solutions for men and women relationships. When it comes to dressing and fashion, there really are no differences when you take a bisexual man with cross dressing tendencies. He can experiment with men's ties mixed with a short skirt and a crew cut hairstyle. None of those things really matter. The book itself is strictly relating to heterosexual relationships so to speak and many people get offended particularly the gay and lesbian community.

People do what they want to do. If there are slight differences between men and women, it is their personality and cultural influence. I am talking about non-physical differences. "Books like that of John Gray's are although attempting to dig in and supply possible solutions to relationships, is breeding a monoculture", one activist said. However, I like that fact that Gray responded to the bothering issues of his time and tried to help people overcome that issue by writing a book.
