>or making me have to justify my thinking,
To be fair, this is a part of being in the "thinking mans" world. Just how the "doing stuff" hierarchy works I think.
No one *likes* it, but it's how people get along. You gotta show your work to gain credibility, you know?
All of these things (imagine me waving my hands around and pointing at houses and computers and cars and stuff) come from people being allowed to make things after someone has questioned them repeatedly to make sure they know what they're doing.
> don’t know how to change a washer or drill a hole or make decisions.
Lol the amount of women in my greater social circle who have asked me to fix things around the house cause their husband/partner can't do it is pretty high. I have a few social obligations as far as fixing cars, dishwashers, electricity problems, hanging doors, plumbing.. ahhaha
So that's not really a woman thing, it's a "modern people" thing.
>But mostly it’s about cooperation
Yes.
But women "doing their own thing" tends to end up, at least from viewing if from my experience, with women wanting to do everything without having to do it someone elses way at all.
eg "I want a phd and a high paying job AND I want a man with a phd and a high paying job to also be my husband AND have the same goals and and and and and"
I'm not saying that's the rule per se.. but it's certainly seen as "reasonable". Like we almost discourage cooperation between men and women at a civilisational level.
You get views like Bens because he, rightly, sees that it was working better when people cooperated. The old rules required cooperation and cooperation is best. We don't have a functional ruleset where women eg work 80 hour weeks as CEO's and have stay at home husbands, you know?
