Which is good for you, I’d say, but doesn’t address the general problem of how people grow without experiencing anyone disagreeing with them.

Which to me is one of the great unaccounted externalities of women’s inclusion.

I would agree there. Unfortunately it’s going to be a steep hill to climb to teach society to not care about a woman’s feelings. It’s not just that women are on the whole a little more emotionally inclined, it’s that society and particularly men perceive them to be even more emotionally sensitive than they are most times. There’s two sides to every coin, this is one of the sides of affirmative action style policies.

The same can be said for the silver spoon/trust fund kids. You’re working against a lot of people’s instinct towards self preservation/career advancement. Not an easy problem to be sure.
