A male friend and I often discuss all kinds of things. We’re both under a lot of pressure at work. One day, he suddenly asked me, “How about writing a column? We’ll pick a topic, then write down our own opinions without discussing it, chatting, or looking anything up online. Afterward, we can see how men and women differ in their views on the same thing.” I said, “No way. My thinking has always been simple and blunt, just like a guy’s. What I write won’t be any different from what you write, will it?” He said, “Give it a try.” I told him, “Seriously, I’m not good at writing. Just look at all those romance novels I’ve ruined.” But in the end, I decided to go along with his suggestion, because there are some things you won’t know the other person sees differently until you say them out loud.
