This is because he's not interested in answering the question. His main point, which people familiar with Language Log know (and thus the assumed target audience), is that the book The Male Brain takes common pop wisdom "Men Don't Listen", and proposes ad-hoc "scientific explanations for it". The main point of this article, which is understood by readers, is to show that there is no real scientific basis for the claim "Why Men Don't Listen", despite what "The Male Brain" claims. This means going through referenced papers in The Male Brain (shown as red quotes) and showing that they do not, in fact, show what Brizendine claims. So no, this article will disappoint you if you think you'll get an 'scientific' answer to the question.
