She has clearly become a partisan in this power struggle. And the dispute over her is tearing the city apart. We're all for Malanca being happy. She should resubmit her resignation. It's time for her to remove herself from this battle so the mayor and the council can work out their differences.
Research seems to indicate men and women listen differently, but it can be interpreted two ways.
Men, the study says, do it with half a brain, which many women will readily confirm. The same study shows women listen with both sides of their brain, which some men will suggest simply means they need to think twice as hard. Dr. Joseph Lurito, assistant radiology professor at Indiana University School of Medicine, scanned the brains of 10 men and 10 women while they listened to book excepts. The act of listening in the male subjects produced more blood flow in the left temporal lobes, while both temporal lobes of the women were active. But you'll never convince women that half a brain is as good as a whole when it comes to listening.
