One major reason is that oppressed classes always know more about their oppressors than the oppressors themselves know. That absolutely includes scoping them out psychologically AND intuitively and yes, women excel (as a rule) at the intuitive because that realm was at once relegated strictly to us and made undesirable -- or at least suspect -- as a human trait by the Patriarchy.

It's a survival skill. Ask any African Americans who are keenly aware of their past. You'll likely get an earful.
