I took it as a joke about &quot;women want to talk &#x2F; empathize about the problem they&#x27;re having, not talk about how you&#x27;d fix it.&quot; Which can be true in social contexts, but is totally absurd to apply to a sinking ship, hence the humor.<p>But it&#x27;s 100% possible that I&#x27;m reading too much into it and the joke was just &quot;Haha women talk a lot about pointless things,&quot; in which case yeah, I probably wouldn&#x27;t have laughed.
