    I think men are more likely to just present whatever knowledge they have in a neutral way & be less perceptive to whether it is needed.https://twitter.com/Gil_Ant/status/912627786543718400 …

    regarding this, u feel it's cause you're a women or men can have more a "know it all" approach to every1? maybe a bit of both?

        But there are very many women who also do this and very many men who take a more exploratory, questioning approach to conversation

        As opposed to many women feeling the need to present things in a female perspective?

        Yes. This has historically been criticised as straying from the point, talking too much, being ambiuous.

        Honestly, IME a "geek" recalling premises for clarity is often just trying to distinguish common ground and disagreement. Not condescension.

        So if I say X, it doesn't even mean I think you're unaware of X. Just that I'm not sure you agree with my version of X.

        If a topic comes up that I know something about, I'd think it rude NOT to share my knowledge. Whether you 'need' it is your call, not mine

        I like to be presented knowledge in a neutral way, if I already know it I will take the conversation further, not get pissy about it.

        You don't know what your interlocutor knows, sometimes you have to explain a lot, starting from the basics, before making a point.

        Your Tweet here is an excellent example of how we often perceive a correlation between gender & perceptiveness /1

        You're open to mental / emotional gender differences, & to discussing them. So where others see misogyny, you see honest discussion /2

        IMO this is one reason you don't perceive men thinking you're stupid, where other women would think that in similar situations. 3/3

        Male leftist activists at my uni were told to shut up and not lead. It paved the way for a toxic feminocracy and new forms of corruption.

        FWIW, our 'bias' is fixing thing, vs talking/processing feelings/events. If we ask, "Do you want a solution or just talk about it?" helps.

        I think there is a "man trapped inside Helen's mind". Her perspective on how a man thinks is quite realistic.

        Quite, and the attempt to pathologise such normal male behaviour seems to be part of many feminist doctrines.
