    100% … The quicker men and women stop treating individuals like men and women are all that different outside constructed social systems, the happier everyone will be.

      Relatable humor. The women in my life ask me about what I’m thinking often enough that it made me chuckle, mostly because being asked results in forgetting what I was thinking about if it was a passing thought.

      In this case it is poking fun at the stereotype, which is true just often enough for it to be funny. Kind of like the memes where the two are in bed and she assumes the worst and he is thinking about Pokemon or something else innocuous.

        Let’s intensify that interaction:

        Women prefer meeting bears over men in the woods.

          If you meet a bear in the woods today, you met a bear. If all day long all you meet is bears…

          you’re also a bear.

    I just blurt it out when my wife asks. It’s always the most mundane, unrelated shit. I’ll be thinking about what drove Mike Myer’s choice to make Shrek Scottish. That said, she doesn’t stress over what I’m thinking about. She’s not insecure. She just wonders what’s going on in the box sometimes. I’ll have that look. My wife is great.

    first off, that’s a vast generalization
    2nd off, that’s totally me and my sibling. She’s the “learn everything so you can look normal” autistic and I’m the “oo look a worm!! 🪱🥰” autistic
