Body Language Experts on Crossed Arms are WRONG for Biological Women

Body language teachings historically never considered the female biological or psychological design difference into any of their theories.
Many still teach us one size fits all interpretation on body language which causes women more harm than good and in more ways than one.
Lights go out on brain regions for solution creation and thinking when we're learning body language to get better results, but what we're learning and even passing on in teaching is dumbing us down when we most need our wits about us.
Women more specifically cross arms over their twin body protrusions for varied practical reasons never even considered, yet it makes sense.
We are so trained not to question what we're taught regardless of who's teaching it to us. We follow teachings blindly, because over time we lost the ability to trust our own intuition or decisions anymore to think for ourself, but we should, it's not rebellious, it's just time to.
These twin protrusions of sensitive flesh are far more than distractions, toys, feeling good or even feeding bubs. They are a part of our wholeness. They just so happen to sit over the heart and solar plexis, our real place of 'knowing'.
Men in groups when bonding put hands in pockets or on hips, we rarely have pockets for a start. They have no protrusions there, nothing to protect from ulterior motives and potential life threatening risks that the physically weaker sex knows puts them at greater risk.
This is real whether she tells herself consciously it's an insecurity only, as taught to us in courses where body language is taught.
We like to embrace our protruding bits for warmth or feeling 'supported' & safe when we are oozing oxytocin as we're designed to do.
We like to prop them up too as we age, warm the tipples when it's cold, maybe hide they are unbalanced or braless, or to block distraction for important communication when we want to be taken seriously to name a few practical reasons.
Groups of women close arms when they are bonded, nothing closed off about it.
The vulnerability and unnatural forcing of impulse resistance to 'not' signify closed body language, literally activates heightened anxiety as a stress response to the degree we become overly self conscious, feeling exposed.
It's even harder then to read others naturally and unconsciously like we're designed to do intuitively. We instinctually know pheromones are at play when we are with men, regardless of if in business settings or not.
We have valid reasons we shouldn't be doing it not only to be more present and less stress activating, but our instinct is better at reading intention even in sales environments.
Most females aren't aware of how common it is for men and teen boys online to learn blackbook NLP, as many male youths learn online for picking up girls or trying to be able to better get a girl to like them, innocently or for whatever the reason. The most searched words on Google are 'how to talk to women'.
We need to return to trusting ourself as females, to lessen unhealthy, over production of cortisol. Our innate way to communicate is more trustworthy.
How we perceive, bond, recognise subtle deceit as we're designed already to do. NLP is too conscious a way for rapport for us, making us mechanically try to do what nature gifted us with already.
