I’ve began noticing a trend. Mentally, little girls and women in their teens and early 20’s aren’t all that different. Except older women usually have some kind of trauma by the age of 20 that if anything changes them a tiny bit.

I find this a little fascinating. I have a big family and at a time was a psychology major and worked in a child development center and actively paid attention to the psychological development of the kids in the center as my job.

It was a fascinating thing to do. And I still sometimes find myself curious and observing people in daily life as I go about my day — people watching, and being observant.

Has this been your experience as well? It’s almost as if most college girls end up with a ‘wtf world?’ Expression and demeanor sometime around the beginning of their twenties. And definitely by their 30’s where I think real maturity happens.

Anyway. Since I had the chance to ask on this site I wondered whether that was true or not in your opinion.

Something I saw back in college, and see much more of in social media now is a sort of woman's "mob mentality." It goes like this

1. Woman voices a symptom of a problem of a relationship or male/ female dynamic
2. Woman asks "What is wrong with men? Aren't I right?" She doesn't give all relevant facts. But on the surface the complaint follows popular themes like "all men just want sex, " or "men dont put their children first"
3. Most women present show solidarity with her, and ask no questions, unconcerned whether the theory is correct.
4. Most men steer clear of conversation, not defending any alternative explanation.
5. Any man who attempts to ask questions or give alternative responses receives major backlash. The mob cites poor sources of information, and takes it as personal attack.
6) Man looks like jerk. Any more words only makes it worse.
7) The mob feels more empowered and continues on its way.

There is no real discourse. There is no real helping the woman, or the man. There is just commiseration and a deepening void between the sexes.

So do you think women are aware of when this happens? Do they care? Or is it now support all women all the time no matter what the circumstances, and never challenge each other?
