You could say the exact same thing about men, just replace the idea of women with a job/passion/career/ideology.

Men think because they have incredibly niche or hyper-focused interests that makes them interesting, or even worse, it makes them someone worthy of attention, praise, or being known as a good person.

They'll move through life either focusing on one thing, or drifting from interest to interest. And when they try and use these interests to skip over basic patterns of socialization or relationship building with people, and it fails--because you can't genuinely replace or subvert lived experience with a studied interest--they either become frustrated, they give up, or they take it as a sign and a challenge, and they actually take the final step and become well-rounded, sincere human beings. They wed interest with being a person, and become what a man is supposed to be.

I don't disagree with you that there are some women who give off this vibe or follow this pattern. But your post reads like you haven't read the book, or you completely missed the point of it. It's a pretty shallow observation that's hiding under blocks of text, Internet lingo, and occasional vitriol.

To a degree I understand what you're expressing, and I don't think the emotion is wrong. Your execution, however, is poor, and I would encourage revision.
