I took it as "this is the thought process that you might not have thought of" as in neurons firing differently. It's not disrespectful to say one group thinks differently.
I have ADHD and my mind gets put on a track I can't control, so sometimes I'll hear someone say something and stop listening to the conversation and just find out where my brain chooses to let me off. Sometimes I laugh at the stop, while my friends kept up normal conversation. They're like "what?" And I have to just laugh and wave it off because it's not worth explaining my train of thought. Or why I'm laughing at their uncles golf cart crash that lead to him being hospitalized because of bees.
People think differently and sometimes you explain it, sometimes you don't. Honestly in this context, I think it puts it in a light mood like a joking mansplaining, when they're really explaining their neurodivergence. Like I often do with my son "listen here you little shit..." When he asks obvious insulting questions about when I was young and lived in caves, or what I remember about sailing with Columbus.
Clearly the intent isn't misogyny.
I still feel like there’s a way to explain to somebody a thought process they might not have thought of without needlessly making it a gender thing. But again maybe it’s just me.
