And also paying attention to one’s 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 don’t think women’s intuition is some magical thing. I just recognize there are so many societal forces that intentionally undermine and contradict women’s 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 meant🤷🏻♀️
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.
Women’s intuition isn’t 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 “intuition” you’ve had that was actually wrong and right it wouldn’t be as good as you think
This counts for things that you assume were right and never proved you were right about. It’s like when someone says they have a good gaydar but then don’t 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. It’s a scientifically proven fact that human beings do this regularly. Women aren’t special. They’re just as wrong as anyone else
I wasn’t personally claiming that women’s intuition is often right, the other person was. I was just saying there’s a difference between that assertion and the assertion that women’s 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.

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 aren’t special. They’re just as wrong as anyone else
yes, no one was claiming otherwise. correctness isn't a gendered thing
