The hippocampus is larger in women than in men, which explains why women are usually better at expressing emotions and recalling intricate physical details. Even under moderate stress, a woman will tend to speak with an emotional voice, as her thoughts become flooded with past memories. A man will commonly misinterpret her reaction as extreme and assume she is feeling powerless to solve an overwhelming issue. He reasons that if he were having that level of an emotional reaction, he would need to talk through his problem with someone as well. Ref : Annis, Barbara; Gray, John.
