Understanding: Coming to the realization woman are smarter, stronger and more opinionated than men and that we as men finally learn to say "yes, you were right and i'm sorry".

Multidimensional: There are many phases of adulthood with varying typical tasks. Intellectual development in early adulthood (say 20-30) involves applying what one has learned to a set of discrete real-world tasks (family, career). This requires constraining one's pov. Later in life (50+), further development requires a re-broadening of one's outlook to encompass much that one needed to set aside.
