This explains so damn much!
I'm telling every woman I know that they have to have more patience with the men in their lives; even smart men can seem almost moronic in these areas, i.e. not being able to remember a conversation they've heard, what you've said, or even things they themselves said, not recognizing people they've seen often, and being incapable of describing faces, and not being able to remember or describe a scene, place, thing they've seen. They just can't help it. I'm going to tell myself that the next time, probably the 1000th, he forgets that I've told him I DON'T LIKE you name it.
All joking aside, women do get really frustrated with this stuff, and worse, can think it's a sign he doesn't care enough to remember. Of course, I'm sure there are things about women that frustrate men, too.
Oh, and yes, some women can be both systematizers and empathizers, difficult as it is for men to believe sometimes.
The above also explains, I guess, why most men seem so challenged when asked to "guess" ethnicity. You have to have both a memory for faces and be able to systematize all the faces as well, I suppose.
