Women have wildly different interests than men

[Joshe]

 

Quote

During the discussion I recognized that many men behave the same way, that they are just interested in their own stuff so it might be less about gender and more about personality types. The Internet, YouTube, is full of intps who also have the drive to create content so it's a bit biased.

 

Yes, this INTP bias is important to understand. INTPs have brains that make them want to explore systems and catalog knowledge. Therefor, it comes very easily to them to adopt an identity of truth seeker. “I care about truth and almost no one else does”. This allows them to assume a superior position in a social environment that deems them weird. Mainstream calls them weird, so of course there’s a natural searching for superiority, which they easily find in their most innate tendencies. Hence the identity adoption of “iconoclastic truth seeker”. This is an actual phenomenon that all cynical/detached/neutral INTP “truth seekers” need to analyze.

@Joshe Mainstream calls them weird and they call mainstream weird, too. INTPs have huge superiority in terms of truth seeking compared to other personality types. They can see easily through bullshit and fake interests but still they can be biased and fall into delusions like you say if they really think they know it all.

@Carl-Richard no, do you have? Am I a woman hater now?

I think talking to many women as friends helps to understand that the women you're talking about in the thread are mostly a sub-section of women, and that if you talk to men, you find a similar sub-section mirroring them.

I don't have many female friends per se, but I have been in psychology for many years which is dominated by women, and you inevitably have to talk to them 😝

@Princess Arabia I can say the same about you, you have totally interpreted the intention about my post in your own way. I am not angry at women at all - never was. Just because I want to discuss differences and show that women have low interests outside of themselves doesn't mean that I am angry or that I judge them for this or that I want to change this or helping them getting more intellectual. That are all your projections on that.

I also never said that you were angry at women. Read my comment again. Saying we don't do something because we're not that angry at men isn't suggesting that I think you are.

Yes. What I'm saying is though, the natural gifts of the INTP easily get co-opted by the ego, and since their gifts are rejected by the mainstream, it's easy for the INTP to reject them back, and the INTP will tell themselves they're rejecting them because they are fools who do not value truth, and they will make it a huge project to identify all the ways the mainstream errs, feeding not only their drive to explore and understand systems, but also their ego's need to feel superior or not to feel inferior. I think this is a common, adaptive survival strategy of the INTP ego.

That's an assumption and a half.
