>>24457810You know how people can say one thing, but do another? Would you rely on what a person says or on what a person does to know who they really are?
I say this because in marketing there's a fundamental rule, the rule of two Is.
"Men want to be Independent. Women want to be Indispensable."
What this means is that the most effective marketing message for men is to sell them freedom. You can do anything, you can be anyone, you can go wherever you want, as long as you buy my product.
For women, the message is that she can be the center of attention, that she can be the one everyone talks about and thinks of, she can turn heads and the people who wouldn't normally give her the time of day, would suddenly want nothing more than to be acknowledged by her, as long as she buys our products.
This is a fundamental rule because it works, and just looking at ads on tv with this knowledge will show how ubiquitous it is. And my point isn't that men are better than women by a universal measure. My point is that they're fundamentally different. The view the world differently and they measure the world on different scales.
The post in
>>24457475 isn't wrong, women are much more social and depend on social cohesion a lot more than men. Which will seem like an inferior trait to any man who measures his world through degrees of independence.
Honestly the bigger issue modern women face when it comes to self-realization is their own hatred of women and womanhood. It's why posts like
>>24457475 are so triggering. if a woman posted something about how men were stupid or inferior or whatever, most men would roll their eyes and walk away while muttering "Classic women". A woman would read such a post and feel personally attacked because, again, their fundamental desire is to be the center of a cohesive social circle. And someone calling women stupid is the anti-thesis of that.
This also reminds me of that classic reddit post where a girl was complaining about her boyfriend, who would say "Woman moment!" Any time she did something stereotypically female. She went to reddit asking for help dealing with the issue and coming up with a suitable retort, and someone suggested doing the same and saying "Man moment" any time her boyfriend did something stereotypical of men. Her answer was that she already did that, but that he also took pride in those moments every time she did and answered "Damn right!"
Food for thought.
