Many public relations experts believe this as a fact. Marsha Friedman, CEO of EMSI, a national publicity firm says that, "The fact that we are made up and raised differently, men and women process information differently."

Marsha Friedman says, "Women on the other hand yearn for the details. Women are interested in the entire story, not just elements." Many times these observations are overlooked!although they are steeped in fact. Marsha Friedman says," If your product specifically targets men or women, it's a good idea to pay attention to how you talk to them." If you're out there doing TV and radio interviews you should really be aware of this difference.
