My friend had a funny story about how when he moved out from his parent and into an apartment he used the last of the toilet paper on the roll and went to get another one and no spare rolls of toilet paper existed in his apartment.

His brain was slammed with that surreal unreal feeling that your fundamental existence and reality has changed. That was the moment when he realized that he has to buy toilet paper himself it doesn't just restock itself.

Of logically he knew how things worked but it had never actually happened to him before - up to this point spare rolls of toilet paper were just always around without him needing to do anything, his 5 year old brain was used to it and never had reason to question it.

For women I believe it's similar - they're never in a situation where they're expected to bear the burden of paying for everything for their family and the social pressure that this is what they're supposed to do and they're a failure in life if they don't do it.

Women can understand the bad side of not being able to pay your bills. They have no experience with the dynamic of your entire social group rejecting you as a failed human being because you couldn't pay your families bills.

My friend had a funny story about how when he moved out from his parent and into an apartment one day used the last of the toilet paper on the roll and went to get another one - and it wasn't there.

Of course if you had gone through the topic logically before he wasn't an idiot he would have realized it. But it had never come up and it had always just been taken care of by some unseen external entity (his parents).

I think it's basically the same thing.
