Sure. For whatever reason, my peers were mostly women, and I don't have many close female friends in my circles outside of my wife and sister. It was interesting how many of them had this sort of overwhelming guilt about dying. That they were somehow on the hook in an exclusive way for what happens to their husband and children when they are gone. There was one in particular that seemed obsessed about how selfish and materialistic her husband was, and how it might shape her kid's future. I was in line with her maybe 4 or 5 times, over a 4 month period, and we talked for 10-20 minutes or so each time. Still haunts me. She was very intelligent and rational, but deeply sad. She was in pretty rough shape, and I assume she died. Also, in kind of a selfish way, I liked the opportunity to talk with women in a deep way with no fear of jealousy, misread intentions, awkward intros, etc. They would open up immediately based on our shared experience. Felt like it was a unique opportunity to peer into something I'd never have found otherwise. I can now truly vouch for the idea that women have it generally harder vs men in Western culture.
