You're right it's not, it's my experience. However, there are many women (and men) who feel same way I do. Who choose to see the glass half full, who have the ability to overcome adversity and come out the other side stronger.
We are talking about two different things. You are talking about subjective feelings and I'm talking about ascertaining objective verity (independent of subjective bias). How a person "feels" about themselves rarely has any bearing on objective reality. Feeling good about yourself is a psychological defence mechanism. Ted Buddy, by all accounts, felt pretty good about himself. That didn't make him objectively a good person.
Ascertaining objective verity requires cold,
detached thinking that is not tainted by emotion (which is the root cause of bias). Because women are emotional creatures by nature, this kind of thinking is not natural to them. This is why there has never been a great female scientist or philosopher. When a woman encounters a fact pattern, she analyzes it, first and foremost, in terms of how she can relate it to herself. You may have noticed that the few female posters who frequent this board (including yourself and “the old lady”) always,
without exception, turn every thread that they participate into a discussion about themselves. There is a perfectly reasonable explanation for that. Women struggle to formulate and express thoughts that are not subjective.
