The female mind tends to be covert. The male mind tends to be overt. Women think and don't speak their mind very often. Women are also creatures of their peer groups, which is their girlfriends.

I have a close woman friend who can't stand the nastiness of the lockstep wokeness crowd. She also can't stand the cartoonish right wing dingbats. But, being a woman, she puts up with both sets. She smiles and goes to lunch with them because, for a woman being social is, for most, as important as breathing.

So, don't expect honesty except in that form.

But Spartacus, when women *are* honest and speak their minds, they are punished heavily for doing so. Men are threatened by forthright women. Go to a typical gathering - say at a church - and see how in a mixed group, the men do the talking and the women do the listening. And if a woman tries to join the discussion, her input is not welcomed; the men tend to close up and go elsewhere as she's considered way too brash. But with their girlfriends, women CAN speak their minds.

But Julia, you just confirmed what I said. This is how the species is wired. Women smile and pretend and act.

Women are covert. I have known women who were less covert and did fine. Some were/are very clear. But on the whole, women are wired exactly as you say.

"But I might not be welcomed!"

That. That is it. Precisely.
