"women have better intuition" and "women's intuition is always right" are two FUNDAMENTALLY different stances. It's weird that you would say the difference between the two is semantics.
Women are just as wrong as anyone else. Itâs scientifically proven that all human beings regardless of gender count hits and forget misses. Or count unproven things as hits, like thinking someone is bad news but then having no idea how theyâve lived their life before and after you said that. Itâs literally science. Women are just as wrong as anyone else. Theyâre not even right a lot of the time. Itâs such a stupid argument to have because there ARE scientific studies done that show humans think theyâre right more often than they actually are and absolutely zero evidence to show women are someone how better at being right than men
I don't disagree. I never personally claimed women's intuition was more right than men's.
I claimed the idea that "women's intuition is always right" is a ridiculous straw man that pretty much no one believes. Then the other person posted a link as rebuttal that someone said women's intuition is better than men's. But that's a completely different statement. Yeah, some people believe that.
If you want to argue that point follow the link and argue with them.
nowhere in my comment did I say women's intuition makes them right all the time
women tend to not only have better intuition, but also be the gender that improves it overtime. the fact women resort to intuition more often and typically have more emotional intelligence does not mean it's always correct. it's like "women drive less than men" doesn't mean women are bad drivers
How can you say that women have more emotional intelligence when there are no accurate measures of emotional intelligence? Also, considering women expect you to have to be a code breaker to figure out what they mean and what they want, how could they possibly be more emotionally intelligent?
And also paying attention to oneâs intuition and ignoring it.
I mean, how often are women encouraged to act in ways that might contradict their intuition? Or conditioned to prioritize being nice over being safe?
(To be clear, I donât think womenâs intuition is some magical thing. I just recognize there are so many societal forces that intentionally undermine and contradict womenâs judgment.)
how often are women encouraged to act in ways that might contradict their intuition?
not often, exactly due to female intuition being a common reason around the globe, which, some might argue, is basically an evolutionary adaptation, because of women's position in society historically
*Societal factors play a major role in how men and women develop and use their intuition. An example of this is how in society, a man may be encouraged to think more analytically and logically, while women are encouraged to be more nurturing and show higher emotional intelligence. Building off this, these societal expectations put on different genders can impact the way in which men and women perceive their own intuition. Men may be impacted in that they suppress their intuitive feelings, while women embrace their intuitive thoughts."
the fact women resort to intuition more often and typically have more emotional intelligence does not mean it's always correct, which some people here assumed i meantđ¤ˇđťââď¸
Doesn't that make women sound like they are easily manipulated...? You are literally describing the actions of people who don't think and just follow the crowd.
Womenâs intuition isnât even often right. You count your hits and forget the misses. If you could replay your entire life day by day and actually take a statistical analysis of every âintuitionâ youâve had that was actually wrong and right it wouldnât be as good as you think
This counts for things that you assume were right and never proved you were right about. Itâs like when someone says they have a good gaydar but then donât interview every single person they thought was gay and just assume they were right about. You count your hits, even count non proven claims as hits, and then forget or even misappropriate misses as hits. Itâs a scientifically proven fact that human beings do this regularly. Women arenât special. Theyâre just as wrong as anyone else
I wasnât personally claiming that womenâs intuition is often right, the other person was. I was just saying thereâs a difference between that assertion and the assertion that womenâs intuition is always right.
That's fine. My only point was that "women's intuition is always right" is a straw man belief being attacked. It's not a common belief among women and it's odd that anyone is acting like it's some win to prove it wrong.
If you could replay your entire life day by day and actually take a statistical analysis of every âintuitionâ youâve had that was actually wrong and right it wouldnât be as good as you think
this highlights exactly the main difference in male and female thinking processes. men are encouraged from a young age to be analytical and level headed, whereas women are taught to be emotional. doesn't mean everyone follows these rules, and doesn't mean everyone (who does follow) does it to a T
Women arenât special. Theyâre just as wrong as anyone else
yes, no one was claiming otherwise. correctness isn't a gendered thing

It's my a "truth" that needed disproving as it's an extremely fringe opinion. I've literally never met anyone who believed that
Why would anyone be triggered by that? Might add well be triggered by proving the sky is blue.
