I am not sure about western society, but in post-USSR there is semi-anecdote and semi-belief among many men, that: woman's "maybe" is "yes", woman's "no" is "maybe", and woman will never say "yes" directly. And that "woman always speaking with hints and never directly, so man must on his own find out what she want". Pretty ridiculous beliefs.

When a woman speaks directly, she is being treated as though she is a rude bitch. When she sets boundaries, she is a rude bitch. When she has an intelligent opinion she has to go through all the talks of how she formed that opinion which could take her 30+ minutes to where the listener will forget and next time it is brought up must repeat.

Nowadays when woman speaks it is transphobia as well.

to where the listener will forget and next time it is brought up must repeat.

Reminded me japanese parliament few years ago. There was first woman in power, and when she was speaking, everyone was chatting with each other, but when man was speaking, everyone was samurai-silent.

Yeah if it happened more to men ..they'd realize how rude it actually is and wouldn't be happy with it either but they don't really have to worry much about it so when it does happen to women once again she's just making stuff up. From there she has to explain how she reached the conclusion people were being rude. She also must also verify there were double standards and also asked "are you sure you just didn't perceive it that way??"

Not exactly, problem is not here. It happens to men too.

Problem is in the fact that it happense to men sometimes, but to women it happens majority of times.

It is same as sexualization in movies and games. Men are sexualized in them too, but sometimes, while women sexualized almost always.

So man is thinking "why you whining, it happened once to me too", not realizing that it happened 1000 times to her, and not just once.

Because it doesn't happen often, they can't really be bothered to listen to women. It shows it really isn't that often. If it were...they'd realize the way women are reacting is actually a normal response.
