Re: MRA Thread

I don't know that relying on experience like that is something that should be encouraged. People have a habit of not noticing or forgetting about things that don't conform to their assumptions so that sort of experience isn't very reliable.

I'm not saying it should be encouraged per se - just that it's, understandable?

I think we make assumptions about people all the time. And out brains tr to find patterns.

Does this look like a person I'm safe around? Is this a person who could possibly share my interests with? Does this look like a person that goes to my school? Does this person look like a potential romantic partner? etc.

And yeah, for some questions gender is going to play a role, based on experiences and preferences.

It is understandable. Like you said, it's how our brains work. But then some thoughts like that are more understandable to me than others. Your "most girls I know don't like soccer" example feels weird to me. It just wouldn't occur to me to look at that. I don't think it's necessarily the gender thing that's throwing me off though. I don't know what it is. I just know that got a head tilt from me.

It could just be that those kinds of assumptions are something I actively try to avoid, and not like as a self-righteous stand against an oppressive society. I've been on the wrong side of it before, with people not bothering to invite me to something because they just assumed I wouldn't be interested, or that sort of thing. It's annoying.
