It is really a terrible myth that men are less emotional or hormonal than women. It just looks different, generally more violent.

The most emotional, tantrum throwing male I know recently informed me that women are emotional and irrational creatures that cannot think straight due to their plight. Zero self awareness even though he himself is the best evidence against the sexist idea he's presenting

I learned back in highschool through my many attempts at doing so, that you cannot convince a stupid person that they're stupid. Only smart people can know they're stupid, which means I'm smart, because I realize I'm a god damn moron, but that also means I can't be smart....

Circular logic?

What you're describing sounds like the 4 stages of competence

  • Unconscious incompetence
  • Conscious incompetence
  • Conscious competence
  • Unconscious competence

Everyone goes through these whenever you aquire a new skill

And weirdly that statement despite being VERY true also touches on a myth once believed to be legit, but has since been debunked as pseudoscience, that the Y Chromosome was the "True source of human evil", sadly this was a thing, and it was believed that people with more than one Y chromosome were "Especially dangerous"

This was also around the time they drilled holes in people's heads to cure epilepsy, and was based on "It sure is wacky that most people we put in prison are dudes. Obviously maleness in and of itself is tied to evil.", which itself was based on someone doing a bunch of self-prescribed opium while reading a newspaper.

I really wish the "Maleness = Evilness" trope was dead, but it's sadly still around and being used to justify transphobia
