Lately I've really been noticing that for some women, they acquire a barebones knowledge of some subject (i.e. occultism, astrology), and then go on to behave as if they have a deep understanding of such things, when it feels more like they just read the Wikipedia page on that thing and then formulated all the rest in their own heads. For example, what's the deal with so many women being into the idea of witches nowadays, pretending like they are students of some mystical powers, when really they just come across as contrived know-it-all asshats?

Is it just an immature attempt to try to gain some kind of worldview, or part of something more complicated? Do you guys have any experience with noticing this kind of thing as well?
