He explains how women are sensitive when they deal with dirt and cleaning, as suppose to what he portrays male’s priorities and sensitivities are sports. Now, men and women are different however they still carry similarities, for example Barry explains how his wife doesn’t understand how sports can be very important to his life and how he is sensitive about it. Moreover, Barry cites in his essay “This is an area where men tend to feel very sensitive and women tend to be extremely callous” (Dave Barry 221). Rephrasing, most men have a sensitivity passion for sports, together, with all women are “callous” (Barry 221) about it. Well, most individuals can agree on this, to a certain extent.

Females on the other hand are born with the ability to be able to handle several tasks at once, yet fail at times and have trouble when focusing on one thing. It’s simply how men and women work. Similar to what Barry once said in his essay, were Barry’s wife asked him if he “could clean Robert’s bathroom? It’s filthy” (Barry 221). Barry takes a look at Robert’s bathroom and it “always looks perfectly fine” (Barry 221) Barry said. As the “sensitive and caring kind of guy” (Berry 221) Barry claims he is in his essay, he “cleans the bathroom” (Berry 221) and proceeds back to what he was doing before. Only to be asked again by his wife to clean the bathroom as she is looking at the walls Barry had already “Windexed” where his wife is viewing dirt he can’t see.
