What intuition is

The word intuition comes from the Latin tuitionem which means "Guarding or protecting." Your natural intuition is a sort of sixth sense that allows you to "feel" something you can't see or touch or define. It's a way of processing information emotionally as well as intellectually that makes you feel everything is okey - or not.

Intuition is also what bonds you wordlessly to a person you don't know well. "I just have a good feeling about them." you say. And you are probably right. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that the tingly feeling you have as you walk through a deserted parking garage or the urge to walk on a well-lit street is sensible and will keep you safer than ignoring your body's warning signs.

Women's intuition, a common notion in the American vernacular, is actually true. Women do have a more finely tuned sixth sense than men. Perhaps a throwback from the Stone Age when women had to be hyper-alert not only for their own safety, but for their little cave babies too.
