I remember in the early 90s, I was hanging out with my stoner friends and they were talking about Nietczche. I was in high school and asked what they were talking about. One of them said I was too dim to grasp the concept. My boyfriend at the time says to the “friend” “ You underestimate Grace, she’ll be more successful than any of us.” I bought this book as soon as it showed up on shelves in the mid 90s. I may not be able to split an atom but I sure finessed my way through life. Thank you Dr Goldman, and screw anyone that tells you you’re not smart enough.

I'm sorry, but this is hilarious. Women just live like this. Every day. All day. Instinctively. Men have to start turning it into "cognitive empathy" and "mental models" and "strengthening the limbic system", etc. Honestly. Women have been teaching this stuff since the dawn of time without this silly language.
