I believe this for me is being more readily admitting weaknesses, cluelessness, and being more vulnerable.

Weakness, cluelessness and vulnerability? I would like to suggest googling Joan of Arc, Queen Elizabeth or EVEN MY WIFE! You won't find those stereotypes in real women. Maybe teenage girls. Yup.. I got triggered. lol
This statement of mine was based on a stereotype of some males, not females.
It certainly is not diminishing females.
I think everyone has some weakneses, cluelessness, and some vulnerabilities.
My statement does not mean that women have more of these then men.
Males seem to have a tendency to hide their shortcomings, ignorance, and vulnerabilities.
This I believe can be counterproductive in many life situations, except perhaps in a power dominance situation, such as war.
Not admitting that you can learn, that you are not the best, and the like can limit you from improving. Why bother to learn if you know it all? Why ask for help if you think you know everything? Sometimes we know almost nothing about some matters.
