Interesting read. Maybe you could change your schedule of trying to arrive half an hour early to 10 minutes earlier? Maybe you'll organically meet more people that way. Anyway.

Just curious on your take on this - when you mention these preconceptions/stereotypes regarding men, do you think this would be a form of sexism? Even if those stereotypes were to be true. Because if I imagine someone making those same variants of comments say on race for instance, lets say Black people and White people; it'll quickly be identified as racism.

I don't have a dog in this nor am I implying you're some sort of bigot, I'm just curious on how you view these separate matters.

Honestly, writing all this about my minor successes and enduring struggles only for you to pick that out as worthy of comment just irritates me. You say you're not implying I'm some sort of bigot, but what else would that be implying?

I've talked about it many times over the years, and it's an avoidant response based on past trauma rather than some kind of condemnation of a group.

Something I think about a lot is the difference between opinions delivered as subjective preference or objective truth. One person might see a film and say "I didn't like that", while another might say "that was bad". Some might even go further and say that their distaste for a thing means that thing must be abolished. Or a person they don't like should be cancelled because they offended their sensibilities. I think that's appalling. (I'd also say "I didn't like that" about a film, to be clear.)
