I have a theory that we are very intuitive of people who have leverage or influence over us for example a boss who can hire or fire. We have to be very conscious of that person whereas that person doesn't have to bother reading us.

That’s a well established notion in anarchist thought as well as feminist thought (as an explanation for why women are considered inscrutable but women are also considered empathetic- because men don’t really have to put in the effort.)

This is the first I've heard of women being considered inscrutable.

One can be totally irrational and still completely scrutable.

I’ve thought about this for a bit, and I’ve decided that you’re wrong. You most certainly have.
