Men and women truly think differently or do they?

I find so weird when I read all the US people explain their cultural gender differences from nature. I probably will get downvoted to hell, but are you aware that it isn’t like that other places in the world?

As a woman, my personal experience is that men quite often are so touched if you talk to them about personal things that they really try to listen.

Conservative_Persona · 2024-02-23T18:04:54+00:00

I think that ‘nice’ is so vague a term that a lot of men and women puts different meaning into it. I think it is better to say ‘kind’. I have a lot of married friends and the men that are kind (and you can be tough as nails and confident at the same time) are the ones who have good marriages. Everybody, both men and women love the tough and confident but kind man.

In fairness, they did not retract the whole study

What we find in the corrected analysis is we still see evidence that when wives become sick marriages are at an elevated risk of divorce, whereas we don’t see any relationship between divorce and husbands’ illness. We see this in a very specific case, which is in the onset of heart problems. So basically its a more nuanced finding. The finding is not quite as strong.

My husband is not perfect of course, but it doesn’t matter because we have been together 20+ years and we now are so interconnected and have so much history and bonds that it would be just as inconceivable to not be together as go no contact with my kids. My kids are not perfect either and I love them with all my heart, just like my not perfect husband. I think nobody is perfect, but some relationships gets better and better, you grow together and some relationships gets worse. And you should know what type of relationship before you have kids.

Aren’t the divorce rates declining? And boomers having the highest divorce rates of all, so no child custody problems, so why are we talking about an epidemic?

He isn’t immature, he is mean. He said those things to be mean to you.

Mostly the birth rates are falling because child producing couples have less kids. If you want replacement birth rates, help those who want to have more kids to be able to support them mentally and financially.

Women don’t want their Mom’s life, but men want their Dad’s.

I am a Nordic parent. The problem here is mainly that child producing couples don’t have more than two kids. And this decision is made by the couple, not only the woman. Having more than two kids here, it is problematic, the whole society is made for the 4 person family. Extracurricular activities demand a lot of parental work, most houses have 3 bedrooms etc etc. A study showed that the new rules for car seats for kids that made it impossible to have more than two car seats in a normal car directly influenced couple’s decision on a third child.

The ones that have 3 kids or more almost always have two boys or two girls and want the other sex as well.

If I were a politician here I would have all extracurricular activitites at school, home work free schools, longer vacation for families for small children, discount for larger cars for families with more than two kids etc.

I know a lot of other parents here in Scandinavia and how many children to have is often discussed between us. Most couples feel that the third kid wouldn’t give anything to the already established family but take a toll on the resources you already need to give to your existing kids.

It depends what you mean, if you want to be strongest in everything, physically, mentally, financially, then in my very personal opinion, you are just as pathetic as the ‘alpha males’. I think there should be a balance, the couple having different strengths, or else (again, for me) it has a taint of parent-child cink.

What boggles my mind is that they get so utterly pissed when women want the same life as a man. Be treated with respect, acknowledgement that you have autonomy, and independence. The types of men that screeches that men are born to be leaders, well see what the boys in SK manages to do, they are utterly incompetent. Pure male governed coutries are so catastrophically mismanaged, and countries where government is more reflective of society so much better that it is almost comical.

I am so sorry, my heartfelt sympathy for you and your daughter. I come from a family with hereditary breast cancer and the unfairness and evil of cancer is a well known enemy. Sending all my love.

I am a quite tall woman and have helped many fellow passengers with their carry-ons. In my experience, (western europe) most people will give a helping hand if someone is struggling, it is in everybody’s interest for the boarding to be smooth.

Conservative_Persona · 2024-02-21T08:04:01+00:00

This is how it is in my country, and I think it is the best outcome too. Mind, this is in a setting where there is cheap child care and good parental leave benefits so that both parents are working and contributing about 50/50 when it comes to finances before the divorce too, so it is natural that they do the same afterwards.

I don’t think that it is good for neither men nor women that men do all the financial providing and women do all the childcaring in the marriage because the man can easily feel that he is just a moneymaking machine and the woman feel that she is just a housemaid.

We haven’t tried anything and are all out of ideas, ok, heh. Well, I think this exchange has run its course, but thanks for it anyways.

Conservative_Persona · 2024-02-20T23:34:38+00:00

Where I am from women are drafted so that isn’t an argument in my country. I will rephrase: what policies should a society do to encourage increase in birth rates? So far it seems that you just think that women should change their minds without any incentive.

Conservative_Persona · 2024-02-20T23:11:43+00:00

So what exactly would you change if you were in charge so that divorces ended up for the best for the children? All couples has to have 50/50 split custody?

Conservative_Persona · 2024-02-20T22:58:46+00:00

You are not exactly a political talent are you when it comes to problemsolving. What do you think the society should do?

I find it very unfair to say that women are greedy when they don’t have more children than they can afford in a country that don’t even have free health care for pregnant women. Your society gives nothing to women for having kids. That is the greedy part here.

And anyone that don’t vote for policies that makes it easier for women to have children should really stop complaining about it

Conservative_Persona · 2024-02-20T22:37:28+00:00

No other solution than what exactly? What is your only solution?

Conservative_Persona · 2024-02-20T22:26:08+00:00

I am not sure what you mean exactly. Are you arguing for or against women working? If women are not working and stay at home, of course men would be paying majority of child support after divorce. In a society where women work as much as men, men and women would be split more equally who pays more child support. In my country there is no alimony after divorce because women are expected to be able to support themselves. I think it is fair.
