Can aspie girls answer this about NT females?

I could guess why, but I never really understood it either. I think it's because women are taught that it's rude and unfeminine to be direct, and they behave the way that's expected of them. I know that I can't make the same sorts of plain statements my brother or husband can without provoking a negative reaction. I'm not talking about insulting people here, just stating a fact or asking a question that shows some knowledge, or making a straightforward request. I've resorted to asking my husband to speak for me in certain situations (he doesn't have a problem with the way I communicate) because I know he'll be taken seriously and I won't, and I simply can't do the passive-aggressive thing. I can try, but it's ineffective, frustrating, and makes me hate myself. It doesn't seem to bother NT women as much, though. It's one of those NT skills.

Guys drop hints too, especially with romance. Or they pick up completely wrong signs. I don't know why but guys tend to think I like them, when I think I'm just being friendly

If men were meant to understand women there would be world peace, and a cure for cancer.
