He suggests that emotional responses often overshadow logical arguments, resembling a robust barrier that is hard to penetrate. This metaphorical wall symbolizes the complexities and nuances of the female psyche, which often prioritizes feelings over rational discourse. Kundera’s observation underscores the inherent differences in how men and women process emotions and arguments. Attempts to engage in rational debate can feel fruitless, as deeply-held feelings may resist logical explanations.
