It’s come to my attention that my example of “women” did not make clear enough that 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 at the time 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 (and think) more clearly about the topic. I now find myself asking, "Does agreeability allow evil to flourish?", so I'm pretty happy to have shared this at all.
