why do women do x"

Why would you ask a group of men what women's motivations and thoughts are. Men aren't equipped to answer that.

Ask men should be "why do men do x" type questions.

Because they're usually looking for validation. If they ask women, they might have to face an answer that's not in their favor, or that might force them to rethink their own actions, thoughts and ideas.

Asking other men gives them the opportunity to be validated or call men who point out their flaws white knights.

Cue the bullshit “You don’t ask a fish how to catch fish, ask a fisherman” argument

They don't actually care why women do x- they want a line to say over a woman explaining her own actions so they can continue believing we're all liars.
