Because they wanted to try and make a point about something but it didn't get the attention they wanted so now they're back pedaling and trying to say there was no point or that nobody will listen to their point (despite being directly asked what the point was)
Communication, hilariously, is not their strong suit it seems
My guess is not exactly the same; it's that they've made the point they really mean many times, so by now they're bored of typing it out. Maybe they in fact expect people to understand the point they intend even though they haven't made it, based on people agreeing with them already, or having seen their posts already.
It was a conversation starter about the gendered language. I wasn’t accusing OP of anything nor demonizing them for it though.
I am. I didn't read the title before popping into the post and only realized it after you posted it. I assumed it was generally about communication, but OP made the choice of not only gendering the conversation, but infantilizing the "strawgirl" in their head with it.
It's especially rich because if there a gender that struggles with communicating their needs and desires it's overwhelmingly, empirically, men. Any projection of "mind reading" is likely because they lack the emotional intelligence to comprehend something that's been told to them multiple times to the point of the partner going non-verbal when it happens again.
