        That’s true… Because biologically as men, we want to believe in them. We inherently cut them more slack.

        Women in every professional position: Are you sure about that?

        I mean when a woman has hobbies or interests men would think it is impossible for her to have those 😂

          Yeah, that’s not what I’m saying. And if you want to try using the revised point, I made because clearly I didn’t make myself clear the first time.

        Do you have a source for that? Your claim is suspiciously close to incel talking points and seem to contradict a lot I’ve seen about the amount of trust people have in the word of a woman compared to that of a man. I’d like to know if you are correct, but as it stands I’m doubtful.

          “All of history’s greatest assassins have been women.”

          Quote from Destroy All Humans!.

            I don’t think that supports the claim at all. It might as well be due to women being seen as insignificant and incapable, not necessarily trustworthy or worth listening to. I don’t doubt that societal views of women could make them better assassins or spies, but that it should be due to mans inherent want to listen and believe them seems dubious to me.

              It’s a quote from a video game.

              Of course it doesn’t support the claim, lol. That was the point :)

              The fuck is a ‘great’ assassin, anyways? How do you measure that? Kill count? Kill quality? Not getting caught? That would immediately hurt anyone who is known. Lol.

                Aah sorry, I responded a bit too quickly there :) I’d excuse it by nearing my stop with the train, but I should have read it through.

                Yeah, I think the greatness of an assassin is quite subjective in the end and might be more of a vibe with arguments for it than any concrete metric.

        Didn’t see your original comment, but in case it was something like “women are perceived as more trustworthy than men”, it doesn’t seem like the study you linked to supports this idea, and it considers “trust” at a much broader, non-individual scale.

          No, I poorly worded that the first time which gave it the wrong connotation. I think it’s just better to remove everything and forget this ever happened.
