Being a woman, I never felt that way. May be I'm living in a whole different world. Whenever I see questions that suggest about 'women getting ignored', I can't resonate it on my personal front. I believe and say everyone must believe in the approach that "yes, it's a man's world by it would be nothing without a woman or a girl."
Let us all make it clear that both men and women are two differently shaped pieces of oneness.
I do not understand in what way you have never felt? Do you mean to say that you have never felt indecisive?
I do not suggest in my argument that women get ignored. I present instead an idea to explain human behavior by virtue of a gendered example. Please see the below addendum.
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.
Elsewhere, I have written:
People use social strategies that amount to evading responsibility in order to ensure survival. In this example of a man and a woman negotiating about what to eat, the woman is more likely to resort to defer responsibility as a means to compensate for a lack of physical negotiating power.
