[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think of psychology everyday.

how people think, why people do things the way they do things, why sibling are the same/different, why different cultures do things differently, how good is integrated differently in different cultures.[/quote]

Not really equivalent of thinking about  Empire - more a modern popular culture phenom …[/quote]

Lol. No. You don’t understand the assignment.

Psychology has been around longer than the Roman Empire

But… thinking about your ex best friend is like the Roman Empire. Ffs. [/quote]

I was different PP sorry and forgot to clarify.

Neither examples are good equivalents for thinking about the Roman Empire - that was the assignment right? [/quote]

No the assignment is what do women think about more often than you could ever imagine.[/quote]

Shouldn’t it be what women think about far, far more than men can imagine?

One answer might be how to avoid sexual assault. [/quote]

This. Personal safety, sexual harassment, sexual assault. How much of our mind space is devoted to these subjects and how much of our lives we adjust because of these concerns. [/quote]

It was more fun to consider empires but when it comes down to actual mental attention, yes, avoiding predatorial men is up there.[/quote]

Yes. I know the idea is to come up with something funny & meme-worthy. But, as someone already pointed out, the Roman Empire thing is most likely a white guy thing, and probably only common among those with a certain level of education and socio-economic status. You know, the subset of humanity who can afford to devote their thoughts to random, esoteric things. But most everybody else, including women, don't have the mental space for that kind of thing. If you want to find something kind of frivolous that a lot of women would admit to thinking a lot about it would probably be something like "what to wear" or "the state of my hair." Other than that, women generally have too much real crap to think about all the time, carrying the mental load of family life and managing social interactions and worrying about not becoming prey.

So, yeah, it's not so easy to come up with a funny, esoteric, random thing that women as a group "surprisingly" think a lot about. Sorry to be a party pooper.[/quote]
