Of women and of the sources of perpetual misunderstanding

Initial remark: A post that is accurately generalising and provocative

They need to know the end of anything so badly; they pretend after a while to know it anyway...they are full of ex-post explanations and a priori thoughts that you will never be able to assume...
They want both to tell you the end of a story - movie or book, personal or general - and to show you they were right...
They need to be sure they know what is going on...
They guess they are sure they know what you think...in the worst cases even why you think so...
They think that a choice is not a risk, rather a solution...
They think they do act strategically, while they mostly believe you are maybe able to be tactical, in the best case scenario...
They think surprise belongs to the basket of things they have already thought could happen...
They believe feelings are a confirmation of reality...
They (worst of all) need to explain and not to understand...

It is much more likely that I find myself lagging behind some sort of unescapable right/wrong discussion than a true/false one...
