Are women ‘hard-wired’ to say ‘no’ to men?

Women are hard-wired to say 'no' to men as a natural self-preservation response, according to the authors of a new book.
The female brain is primed to give a snap negative reply as a rapid safety check to assess the motives of those outside their close family and friends.
Up to three in four initial refusals by women were followed by a 'yes' minutes, hours, or days later, suggesting many use an early 'no' to slow an exchange for a fuller answer.
Lorenzoni states these findings should not be used to blur the meaning of refusal or to give men permission to keep pushing after a woman has said no.
