It is interesting how people perceive things differently though (regardless of sex). Sometimes there are subtle differences in perception that make huge real world differences.
As an example:
I have a pretty good ability to create a picture of something in my mind and transform that into reality - whether reality is a rough drawing (disclaimer: definitely NOT an artist this is more like being able to do an orthographic projection of geometric shape) or a physical object. Swmbo finds that skill completely baffling and apparently doesn't see "pictures" in her head. OTOH she can walk into a room and give the rough dimensions way more accurately than I can and tell if object (couch/chair/etc...) will properly fit while I'm still building the cardboard model This transforms into me going "see I'm going to build this with the doohickey here and the doodlebob over there curving back into the watchamacalit" and getting back a blank stare, and the reverse of "that will never fit" - fits fine. On the surface of it these seem like very closely related skills but turns out they aren't interchangeable.
If you start talking to folks and asking them "what do you see" here or "how would you perceive blah blah" you'll often get back surprising or baffling answers (alternatively I may well have a warped view of reality so ymmv on that particular experiment ).
I suspect that trying to actually "get inside" most other peoples heads is a fools game for most of us, but I do find it somewhat educational to ask "what do you see when you look at this" (really hard to avoid frontloading that question with "do you see the ..." but you get more interesting answers if you don't). I've been doing this for a while to try and figure out how to relate to other people - not sure if its working or not. Probably not.
