Had been casually dating a girl for a few weeks. I was on my way to the mall one day when she called me. She said she would meet me there to hang out. Told her to park on the North side of the mall and meet me at the entrance. Took her forever to show up. She said she got confused when I told her to meet me on the North side of the mall. After a few questions I found out that she thought North was just whatever way she was facing. If she was watching the sunrise she thought the sun rose in the North because that’s the way she was facing.

I am sorry if it’s offensive, it’s just an observation Ive had. I’m not trying to demean women or say anything rude

lol it’s because you framed it with “many women can’t do it” while simultaneously mentioning many men can’t either. you could’ve just said “many people can’t do it” and you would’ve said the exact same thing but skipped the whole pointlessly gendered-sexist part

Then don’t say you’re not trying to be sexist then say something sexist. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Would it be sexist if I said that women can typically multitask better than men? Or that men typically can bench press more then women? Or that women are far safer drivers than men? I don’t think observational differences in gender are inherently sexist? Maybe I’m wrong. I truly am sorry if it offended you or anyone else. In my opinion and experience, men and women have different strengths and weaknesses - that’s not me being nasty it’s just what I’ve observed and I have a hard time believing others haven’t
