[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women lack self awareness just as much as men, especially the conventionally attractive women who have had people catering to them their entire adult lives.[/quote]

That’s a subsection of women and as looks fade, introspection becomes possible.

When life throws its challenges, we humans usually become defensive or introspective. The challenge, our upbringing, our brains as well as our gendered experience will all contribute to what we do. And the situation. The same person can be defensive in one setting and introspective in others.

I do think society “teaches” women to be more introspective than men. But I also find people of color more introspective, due to systemic biases against them.

What genetics and upbringing leads to better introspection? I really think it's hard to have a relationship with someone who can't relate to another person or think about their own actions. I just don't think it works in any situation other than some sort of parallel play lifestyle.[/quote]
