Woman's instinct is often truer than man's reasoning.

Meaning: Women's intuitive judgments frequently prove more accurate than men's logical deliberations because intuition integrates overlooked emotional and social signals.

Origin: From 'A Dictionary of English Proverbs and Proverbial Phrases' (1870). Public domain.
