Women think in [Douglas] Sirk’s films. Something which has never struck me with other directors. None of them. Usually women are always reacting, doing what women are supposed to do, but in Sirk they think. It’s something that has to be seen. It’s great to see women think. It gives one hope. Honestly. Rainer Werner Fassbinder
About This Quote

In this quote, Sirk is referring to the way that women think differently than men, and that they think about their lives differently than men. This is a great idea and one that we should try to implement today. Many people believe that women and men think about life differently, and that women tend to be more emotional and more romantic than men. However, this is not necessarily true.

A study of gender differences in thinking found that both men and women tend to rely on intuition as both a tool for decision making as well as a way of understanding the world around them. Furthermore, the study found that men tend to be more logical than women.
