Women vs. men. Make all your jokes about remote controls and refusing to ask for directions, but we all know it's way more complicated than that. As is the suburban lifestyle, as is everything in this world that looks nice and pleasant and simple. There's more than just a few bodies buried under those lovely expanses of lawn, more than a few vacuum closets crammed with corpses (metaphorically speaking, for the most part). All these complexities and neuroses are ripe for the examining, precisely what Hanna Rosin, senior editor at The Atlantic, editor and founder of Slate's women's section DoubleX, and author of a new book, will do Tuesday, Oct. 15 at William W. Philip Hall on the UW Tacoma campus. Rosin will lay out her reasons for believing that, although men currently seem unwilling to adjust to new realities that are changing their roles in society, they "may become more flexible as the world around them continues to change." Guess what the book's called? C'mon guess. Come hear her discuss The End of Men and the Rise of Women.

AUTHOR HANNA ROSIN, 7-9 p.m., William W. Philip Hall, 1918 Pacific Ave., Tacoma, $10, free for UW students, tacoma.uw.edu/paulsen
