Given the exact same set of circumstances, a man and a woman will chose different actions. Take, for example, the case where a husband (full disclosure: my husband) locks himself out of the car while dropping our son off at the babysitter’s house. It is the old Mercury Cougar we bought off his mother some years ago, circa the late 1980s (when you open the console between the front seats, it has an analog phone attached to the car by a genuine cord ). The doors have keypads that you can enter a 4 digit code on to open them in the case that you lock yourself out. Many moons ago, I carried this code around on a scrap of paper in my wallet. I threw that scrap of paper out seven or eight years ago, but my husband called me in desperation hoping I might still have it.
“No, not any more. You can call triple A, though. Since we have a membership, they’ll send someone out to unlock the car.”
“Mmmm. Okay, fine.”
( At least I don’t have to change his name to Shirley now. )
