This is not meant to be an attack on the female gender. I'm sure that men have negative qualities.

But I was listening to an interview with Leah Remini talking to Joe Rogan about Scientology. She mentioned the singer Beck who had grown up in the religion/cult from a young age apparently. When the host mentioned the song "Loser" she seemed surprised that Beck was the singer. She liked the song. Then she went on and on about how much she liked it and had no idea he sang it.

Now this is what I don't understand. The song "Loser" is probably his most famous song. He and the song to me are practically inseparable. Apparently she had even met him, AND she was familiar with the song.

How the HECK could she not even know that he sang it??? His most famous song!!!

This sounds more like a specific Leah Remini thing than a "women" thing. Why would you even make that reach?

I couldn't pick Beck out in a crowd...BUT I do know he is not Jeff Beck...I will listen now to it before
I post this to see if I have ever heard it.
Not my kinda music. 97 million hits, wow. Does he always do this kind of rap?
If not, maybe that's why she didn't know it was him...I have heard plenty of great music with no idea who is singing.
I watch the MTV Awards shows so I can keep up on so many new artists...I don't hear Beck's name mentioned much.
So am I also a mystery?

Because I've had the same exact thoughts with similar situations from other women. Almost a mirror of this. This is just one small example, like a single drop of water in a tidal wave of confusion.

I'm really asking about why women think so differently than men do. It's hard to think of another example at the moment.

Not exactly the same. She was both a big fan of his song, and she knew him personally. If you said something like "I hate Johnny Cash". Then if I brought up the song "Ring of Fire" and you told me that you loved the song, then I would be confused again.

What? What does this have to do with women as a group? And how would we know, why she didn't know that? You'd have to ask her.

OP, this is a very strange question to frame in terms of all women. Can you see that? Haven't you asked questions like this before, about one individual, but extrapolating your perceived issue to an entire class of people? It's not normal to do that. I'm wondering if you have some kind of undiagnosed cognitive condition.

So what is actually the point you're saying is particular to women?

I had listened to Hurt and Ain't No Other Man for quite a while before I learned they were by Christina Aguilera--all I'd heard of her before were her over-produced kiddie-sounding recordings. I didn't realize she really had pipes.
