Take a look at the book /Women are from Venus, Men are from Mars/, in the
chapter titled "Mr. Fixit and the Home Improvement Comittee."  You'll
find some facinating stuff along these lines.

I haven't yet read the book, only brief parts, but it seems to make
a lot of very rational explanations of common behavioral differences
between men and women, that often result in acrimony or misunderstanding.
