I’ve heard variations on this story more than once.
Question any specific instance, but this definitely happened somewhere.
A woman was annoyed by how often men would wolf-whistle at her – and she got even more annoyed when her man wouldn’t sympathise with her plight.
So she arranged for women to wolf-whistle at him to… uh… teach him a lesson…
Yeah, you don’t need to hear the rest of that story. You already know that was the greatest day of his life. Whatever shirt he wore at the time is now his favourite.
Why would she think a man would dislike that?
Sure, men have a poor sense of what it’s like to be a woman.
But woman are utterly abysmal at knowing what it’s like to be a man.
It’s simple, really. Men need to understand at least the basics of female psychology, otherwise they’ll never get a date. Women can just show up to any bar, any hobby group or any public space with a cute top on.
The typical woman doesn’t have to understand anyone else.
“But what about feminine empathy and intuition?”
Those aren’t just myths. When a woman wants to understand others, she can. Her natural instincts and feminine nature provide her with an advantage. But how often does she want to? Most of the time, “I just don’t understand men!!” is them seeking attention, not answers.
It’s a shame, really. The world needs a lot more empathy right now – and most of that will always come from women.
But only after men lead. Women won’t take the initiative here.
We need to show up and be worth understanding. That means not being a hysterical, submissive corn-addict, but a confident, capable, masculine man.
It also means leading by example.
Women won’t nurture or empathise until you read, reread and apply Your Story Isn’t About You.
Do that and you’ll understand others a lot better – including the so-called mysterious sex.
