A breakup, an affair, a pregnancy scare, a missed STI screening, or a dating-app encounter that feels upsetting afterward can quickly be reduced to character language: reckless, dramatic, careless, immature, impulsive, too much. Women are often expected to manage sexual safety, emotional tone, contraception, communication, and the aftermath of conflict with a level of consistency that leaves little room for executive-functioning struggles. When something goes wrong, the question becomes “Why did she do that?” long before anyone asks what made the pattern harder to interrupt.
