Going off topic

We all need to talk. It’s like food. Conversation is something we need as often as we eat.
Some talk more than others. I don’t have to talk as much as you. Women talk three times more than men.
That’s because men listen only a third as well as women.
But even when a woman is talking to another woman they still talk more.
That’s your impression. But even if it were true, women are better at talking than men.
Oh, I agree. Females are generally the groomers in any species. They empathize with others better, know how to sympathize. Did you know that four times as many males as females are autistic.
And how do they get that way?
Brain lesions. Fewer mirror neurons which help you understand others. More men have a deficiency of these mirror neurons. If you have fewer mirror neurons in the cerebral cortex, this stops you from empathizing with other people. Things that can go wrong with the mind are legion.
There you go again. Treating a serious subject inappropriately and lightly. Taking the conversation off the topic of men and women talking and shifting to the details of autism. You are such a.. a conversational pirate. You pretend to agree, introduce a red herring about autism and then hijack the conversation into your field.
I was only trying to help.
