peer agreement (net): +5male mindset Explanation: Yes, in effect the male mindset (one word according to the New Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors) is the set of ideas, principles and reactions typically traditionally attributed to men. So it's different from the female one and especially in terms of needing resolution. "Resolution" in this case refers to the plotting of the crime series as opposed to the soap opera, so is being used in its sense of "rounding off", "finishing", "completion". I.e. in a crime programme, even series, you get an answer at the end, loose ends are tied up and the issue is resolved (hence: resolution), whereas a soap opera goes on and on with plot lines staying open much longer and not being resolved, or certainly not all at the same time. |
