Women's minds seem like such an enigma to men. This is because most of them operate from a totally different internal logic than men.

Men mostly learn how the world operates by doing something, seeing the results of their actions, and then adjusting. Now there are men also who rely too much on second-hand knowledge to shape views. Think of guys that experience life only through screens, books, and media, without ever going out and engaging with the world. This creates a distorted view of reality, because real life acts as a truth filter and actually pushes back against bad ideas.

Now think of how many women form views solely based on what their friends, mothers, sisters, and other women on social media tell them. Even when the situation doesn't align whatsoever, they'll stick by what others are saying. This creates a distortion field where the bad advice from friends holds more weight than the reality sitting right in front of them.

Maybe a generalization, but women seem much more prone to falling into this trap. So no need to be perplexed by women's reasoning, it simply isn't rooted in the same cognitive space
