Well, you are, in fact, dismissing it as merely coincidence, as I predicted.<p>Nor did I say it gets done to me <i>because I am a woman.</i> It does get done to me a lot. I don&#x27;t know that it has anything to do with my gender. It may have more to do with the fact that I have formally and informally studied certain things about social psychology and I have well developed mental models for how these things work that most people are not very familiar with. Since social psychology is a &quot;soft science,&quot; it is much harder to convince people that X is true than, say, for physics or math. That doesn&#x27;t mean there are not studies or established principles, etc, to call upon for drawing conclusions.<p>Anyway, I have work to do and this seems fruitless, alas.<p>Have a good day.
