Rational Women?

[Plinco]

I made thread on this subject months ago but the topic was derailed.

I believe women can think logically and suppress their emotions, but are inclined not to for a combination of evolutionary and social reasons. There is a common belief in the manosphere that irrationality is innate to women, and that holding a woman accountable for thinking logically is a cruelty. What do you think and why?

Women are only rational when it comes to their own survival. They act irrationally to manipulate men into giving them what they need.

Women in dire survival situations are extremely rational. In some ways more than men. Do we think gold digging, prostitution, or having babies by drug dealers etc are rational or irrational choices?

I think intelligent women think and behave logically and women with mental problems tend to suppress their emotions just like men.
They don't think unlogical, they just experience life from a different angle and therefore draw different conclusions how to act and how the world works. Guys with decent social competence understand this and understand women, so in this matter the manosphere is a bunch of social retard$.

@MtmVaott I think you mean to use the word 'repress' rather than 'suppress'

Suppression is healthy and useful while repression is not

Ok, I see what you mean. Then IMO feminine women suppress their emotions to get in and out of the feminine mindset, e.g. family vs. business. Also, when they go shopping it's a way for them not to deal with sadness or whatever. If they would be unable to suppress, they would instantly start to cry and wouldn't be able to leave the house.
I think what the manosphere really wants to address are the provocations in order to get something. Like EyeBRollin said, the behaviour of the provocation seems to be irrational, e.g. an emotional outburst, unlogical reasoning, ASD, ...

Suppression: Being aware of your emotions, but not allowing your emotional state to guide your thought process. Temporarily disassociate with emotions in order to accomplish something. Example: not expressing any emotion in a poker game.

Repression: Avoidance of emotions. Evading the emotional process to disintegrate from reality. Example: drinking alcohol to avoid social anxiety.

The scientific explanation for this is that women's heads are 75 percent full of cotton wool.

No such thing.

They can be better than they are. Society doesn’t force them to be, so they aren’t.

The subject line of this thread is oxymoronic. Not such thing.

Correct. I've seen it first hand while traveling abroad.

No they cannot. Its all about the upgrade buddy.

What upgrade? Also, this is the thread that got derailed

Why is Ayn Rand an exception?

Almost no woman knows how to think independently, yet this woman seems to do it very well. Here's an example of her explaining something logically: I've come up with a few theories on this. 1.) Women are actually capable of thinking rationally and independently, but have no incentive...

If Ayn Rand could do it, then why say that women cannot think rationally?

CAN women act logically? Yes, it's just a muscle that needs to be trained heavily before they get any good at it. Still, it will never be her default state.

The same goes for a man. Reason is not the default state for anyone, it is a faculty that needs developing.

 

[Plinco]

You are quoting a story Literally 1 theory.

Can you please elaborate

 

[Plinco]

No such thing.

The subject line of this thread is oxymoronic. Not such thing.

Considering the example I mentioned, why do you say that?

They can but usually the catalyst was emotional upheaval

I wonder if there's a segment of the population that has no willpower or self-control. Seems like alot of guys succumb to the vices and women give in to temptation.

I know when I watch those parkour videos, I often think to myself... "What the fvck was this person thinking?" to almost die for no reason at all? It doesn't occur to them that this one stupid move could end their life and all the potential they built up? Then I remember skate boarding exists. If you don't think men make life altering mistakes on a whim, I implore you to watch the videos below.

A helmet and some pads could have changed everything... but like these dudes, most people throw caution to the wind to live in the moment.

Considering the example I mentioned, why do you say that?

Because woman are overwhelmingly irrational as they are ruled by emotion. Even the smartest most aware ones will admit that half of the time they have no control over their actions and reactions.

Come again? I teach this demographic. That last statement is pretty ignorant, doctor bookworm. Unlike yourself my wife didn't succumb to the government pressure for covid juice and fascism.

Is that really an “admission,” or an excuse for misbehavior? Yet another issue I have with such “RP” thinking is the way it tacitly excuses female turpitude by handwaving it with armchair evopsych.

Women in science careers trend more logical

practical female psychology talks about this
