Again, I don't disagree that men have accomplished a lot of incredible things. We're fortunate to be in the place we are today, as atomizing as it can be, and much of it is thanks to certain men, whether we like it or not.

At the same time, you have to realize that women are driven by something completely different. You can write it off as trivial or arbitrary or base, and in some cases, you're correct--they could say the same thing about you, and it would be correct as well.

Ultimately, what is being said is that they are different from you, and they're different in a way you'll never, in all your years, ever be able to fully understand. Like it or not, they know something you don't, and always will. The value of their perceptive difference IS their perceptive difference. That doesn't make it unassailable--but it provides a perspective that can, in its own right, be genuinely beautiful and true, for the same reason a man's perspective can fulfill the same role in relation to a woman.

There's nothing you can do or say to change this. All that really can be done is accept it, and move on. Being unable to do so will result in stagnation and slow decay, whether you like or not, think it will or not. For the same reason a woman not being able to acknowledge the simple beauty of a bridge is an indicator, potentially, of a shallow and somewhat thoughtless personality, the same can be said of a man who is unable to recognize the natural limits of his own genius in relation to a woman's perspective.
