As not a woman, I wholeheartedly agree with you. How you explain it makes a lot of sense to me. Additionally, I also see a lot of things in the context of death. I think it was in this video where I saw every fear reduced to the fear of death.

I write a lot "like this" but do not share it much because I feel at times presumptive of understanding things I do not. But this is a tiny experiment in writing to test some of my bigger ideas for an audience. Please let me know what you think. Thank you for reading

I think it's great! I want to read more of your original thoughts. It's refreshing to read from someone who simply has ideas or concepts they would like to discuss, without caring about being right or wrong.

Your post reminded me of a "human sharing an experience" as @plepoet mentioned here:

I don't like to write from a place of authority on my opinion, I like to come at it as a human sharing an experience.

Additionally, I also see a lot of things in the context of death. I think it was in this video where I saw every fear reduced to the fear of death.

I've heard generally, when we consider the intentions of our actions they can boil down to one of two things: being out of a fear of punishment or an expression of joy.

I haven't considered completely the arguments, but I want to agree that fear escalates to a fear of death and annihilation.

Edit: I want to clarify that I do not think this a gendered issue. In another comment, I wrote:

I believe indecision, conformity, and groupthink are behaviors that may be exhibited by any member of the species as secondary social strategies/behaviors to ensure survival by deferring power to another party.

My argument highlighted “women” being indecisive about dinner because I felt that the argument may come to a reasonable conclusion rather quickly.

Now, I realize it’s a relatively innocuous example of this phenomenon of indecision/agreeability (compared to the bystander effect, or how regular men became Nazis) and both stand by the example and wonder how to continue to write on the topic.
