Are women or men better at acknowledging qualities in people they do NOT like?

[Anonymous]

Like anybody there are plenty of people I’ve encountered or know as public figures (celebrities, politicians, etc.) that I don’t like.

However I can compartmentalize my brain to look at them objectively. While I have my obvious reasons for disliking them but that doesn’t mean I can’t acknowledge or even respect certain qualities about them. Like-ability is not the same thing as respect.

For example I highly disliked former president Obama. I believe he was a Trojan horse for all the radical politics and division going on in our culture today.

However I can acknowledge that he has the gift of gab. Very eloquent. Smooth talker. I can understand how that made him so popular among voters. But again that doesn’t mean I like him. But I can acknowledge and respect that quality.

It’s just in my experience women have a much harder time separating like-ability and respect. Once they decide they don’t like someone then they refuse to acknowledge any of their qualities. They seem to be more all or nothing when it comes to this.

Women are better at acknowledging qualities in people they don’t like

Men are better at acknowledging qualities in people they don’t like

Equal/depends on the person

Women because they complain more and they tend to have better communication skills

I think you need to read the details about what I am asking.

I read wrong. I read acknowledging as communicating for some reason... weird.

Yeah then men. Which is ironic cause I'm always playing devils advocate and challenging my beliefs and my dad is the opposite. But I agree. Yes men are usually better at viewing both aspects

Thanks. I admit this is a generalization and there exceptions both ways (e. g. narrow minded men vs open minded women). However just from my observations women have a harder time separating emotions when passing judgement.

This has real world consequences in culture and politics.

Yup i agree! Thats why femism still is a thing in the west and a lot bigger than the toxic red pill thing

And feminism is impacting women (and some men) and they don’t even realize it.

yup, it has affected be both bad and good personally through life in specific scenarious.. Its not all good evan as women

Well there are consequences to the decisions you make and the judgment you pass. The consequences can also be self destructive.

The issue is modern feminism is telling women to follow their so called “truth”. There is no “your truth” or “my truth” there is only THE truth.

Not to be the kettle that calls the pot black. I’ve made bad decisions and very erroneous personal judgment before. However the more you accept reality (as ugly as it can be at times) then the better you deal with it and are able to shape it. But the more you deny reality due to your own emotions then the harsher reality ultimately becomes.

Anyway that’s more philosophical than I wanted to be. However good for you for being able to understand this so young!
