one thing i really dislike about the modern gender discourse is that, to so many people, "men are dumb" is an automatic and often terminal explanation for their behaviour no; our behaviour has *causes*; we are all people; what we do&feel is influenced by real factors. go deeper.https://twitter.com/ElodesNL/status/1338472599563735040 …

I went to two different schools and ime dudes almost never talked about other people's business Spoke almost entirely about their own experience, desires, intentions, etc. The conversational divide was stark enough that teachers often commented on it

In my experience, a lot of men will gossip along when there's a gossiping woman in the group, but the moment it's only men, the amount of gossiping being done greatly decreases. Like, there's a very clear and distinct vibe&topic change when an all-male group gains a woman, imo.

or were you talking about all-male groups to begin with?

In my experience guys do gossip about outgroup, but they are much less likely then girls to talk negatively about ingroup members in their absence Instead, they talk shit to them in their presence

I don’t think we’re a normal sample set For one, we’re very not-normie For another, it’s unclear to me what extent being closeted transgender and having mostly female friends in high school modified my behavior as compared to cis dudes

Also keep in mind I spent all of freshman year in the girls wing of our dorm The story was I was getting laid a lot but really I was just hanging out and liked the vibe better

It’s not really clear to me what counts as gossip My extremely normie college experience included a ritual called story time where 4-10 guys piled into a dorm room every sat and sun morning to talk about everything that went down night before. Seemed gossipy to me

I'm not sure which of two things you mean here; when you say men's behaviour isn't examined as critically as women's, do you mean it isn't examined as deeply, or that (normie) men's behaviour is given a lot more leeway?
