Do I place a comma here?

Question

Should the comma be present here to separate statement and question?If women felt the same about it as I did, why is it so common amongst this gender?

Hi,

I'd call it a condition rather than a statement.

Yes, it's natural to pause there, to let the listener/reader absorb what has just been said before continuing the sentence.

Without any context, I don't really know what this all means.

Thanks that helps. Here is the paragraph to help explain more

When women associate amongst each other, usually in a group of two or more, a strange phenomenon takes place. For some odd reason women tend to gossip, and most of the time not even realize how incriminating the gossip might be. In my opinion it is by far the most annoying female flaw. This phenomenon became apparent to me in my early twenties. I would always notice that girls changed their close friends frequently. This was weird because never in my life did I see males follow the same path. During this time I had been with the same group of friends since elementary school. I may have seen some male friends separate due to moving or some other in direct force, but with females it was definitely apparent that this was a reoccurring event. It took me being close friends with a woman to understand what was causing this odd paradox. Gossip, she said. Gossip just summed it all up in a single word. I couldn't believe I had never thought of that before. The treachery became more apparent after that moment. I've always known women tend to gossip a lot, but for that to be the main reasoning behind women having such a rapid fluctuation in friends was hard to understand. That meant women had the same outlook on this as I did. If women felt the same about it as I did, why is it so common amongst this gender?
