Nature’s Filibuster
Arguing with a woman is like walking through a Fun House of Mirrors.
Sure it’s fun for a while. You get to see yourself in new and interesting ways, something that we men love to do to grow emotionally and in character. But then it gets really fucking irritating and disorienting because almost none of it makes any kind of sense and you have to keep backtracking to make progress that you thought you made like ten minutes ago.
Where the fuck are the stairs?
Women define losing an argument as not having the last word.
It’s a completely backwards mindset because in the end nobody learns anything about anything, but that’s how they do it. Think you’re getting somewhere with a woman in a debate about politics or business? Guess again. If she didn’t begin the argument this way in the first place, she will now just start spouting random inane bullshit at you like a sprinkler. Not one of those gentle misting sprinklers either, one of those annoying ones that sound like a machine gun going off and shoots you in the eye when you’re not expecting it.
As a man, your idea of an argument is three fold:
1) Identify the issue.
2) Listen and gather research and information regarding said issue.
3) Try to reach a resolution amiably.
Women, nature’s filibuster, argue like this:
1) Waste as much time as possible.
Women value time and life like a garbage disposal values fine cuisine. It’s just something else to squander away. And really, how can they even understand the concept of time wasted when they have nothing to do with it otherwise. How many women have climbed Everest? None probably. Who cares?

When making an argument you should really be sure of your facts first, as it seems you miscounted again, that was 18, a large number considering your, “How many women have climbed Everest? None probably.” comment.
Sort of ironic that when you’re making a point about men being better at putting forward a logical argument than women, I (a woman) am the one who came up with anything that wasn’t meaningless conceited opinions.

Nicole, it is more interesting when men do it because they do it to achieve something, women on the other hand, simply to draw men into arguments like this. Us men have a structured busy life to engage with, which makes fitting in climbing Everest amongst providing for the weaker sex an even greater achievement.

Climbing Mount Everest does not become a greater achievement for one particular gender if the other has done exactly the same thing. If women were only doing something as great as climbing Mount Everest to create an argument with men, then they wouldn’t have done it more than forty times. You seem to have made the classic “macho” man mistake of living in a deluded world where every woman revolves around you. Women do amazing things because we want to, not to create an argument with men.
The only difference between men and women climbing Everest is that if a man fails people will say he does not have what it takes, but if a woman fails people will say women do not have what it takes.

Knowledge is being able to recite others intelligence, intelligence is understanding them and adding to them with your own views.
Perhaps some subjects in GCSE’s require only knowledge, like maths and science. But many require intelligence. English Literature is all about opinions, drama and art require creativity and even subjects like geography require a passion for mankind, the highest marks are given to those who display empathy for people in situations in the worst LEDC’s.
It’s painful to imagine that I have spent the last two years drawing, writing poetry, performing, acting, dancing, writing about my own opinions and expressing myself in every way only to be told by adults that my achievements are meaningless and only require ‘repeating’ others knowledge.

Great blog this. Any blog that promulgates an obvious truth i.e. that men are better than women, cannot be anything but great. Anyone with a smattering of intelligence will tell you that.
All you have to do is look around you and look at history; look at the arts and the sciences - every field led by men. Columbus discovered America and he didn’t have to ask the way. A woman trying to do his job would have had the map upside down!
There’s never been a female artist of any genius, nor a composer or conductor. Women never invent anything! Well, with the exception of false accusations and statistics. Even Germaine Greer admitted that women can’t write poetry.
It’s noteworthy that, in the recent Junior Mastermind, boys swept the board for the second year running leaving the girls way behind. It’s a similar story in the adult version of course. Hardly ever does a woman get into the final round and the Mastermind at the end is nearly always a man. This competition has all the elements of a true examination (something we don’t have in schools now) where the competitors have to learn their material and are then tested on it - without any help from Mum and Dad, as in “coursework”.
And we have a massive number of female “teachers” diluting the profession to ensure that standards continue on their downward trend through the cellar floor. We desperately need more men in teaching. If necessary let’s pay them more!

Mike, I understand your point of view. While it is true that many men are probably better than many women at certain tasks. There are just as many women who are better than men at certain tasks. You cannot generalise everyone into two big groups because of isolated incidents. That would be like saying African Americans are generally faster sprinters, so they must be better than Caucasians.
Very few women fit into this stereotype that has been built up on this website. Just like very few men fit into the typical matcho man stereotype (however much they’d like to).
You need to break away from the stereotypes that bound our society, in order to ever understand anyone. If you like you can live in your little 50’s detergent advert where men work hard all day while the women sit at home cleaning and suppress anything resembling intelligence. But most prefer the real world. Wake up.

I have won arguments against several 18 year old males. I am part of the school debating team, and we are coming 3rd out of 40 teams, and are in the quater-finals. In fact, we were coming first for all but one of the normal rounds (normal as in not elimination or quater/semi-finals) except the team we were meant to be playing against defaulted, which meant that although we won, we won by default and so didn’t get as many points. I have gotten best speaker several times, even when we were debating against teams with males, or made up of all males.

In regards to Evil Pundits comment about the Y-Chromosome Deficiency Syndrome = you may be interested to know that the y chromisome is shrinking. At the rate it is shrinking in 125000 years, men will no longer be in existance. Afer you die, and are re-incarnated as a female after those 125000 years have passed, you will read comments like the one you just made and think ‘dear god those men were ignorant cunts’. Basicly what i’m saying is that whether you like it or not, women are here to stay. Men however, are going to go. And not with a bang either.

The Y chromosome is getting shorter, in the last couple of million years it has gone from carrying about 1000 genes to about 80 genes. So very very slowly it is getting shorter, but obviously it will never become extinct-this would pose a serious problem for mankind. This is due to the fact that the Y chromosome has developed a biazzare way of repairing itself and so will always carry the male characteristics and will always exist.

Nicole,
‘a large number considering your, “How many women have climbed Everest? None probably.â€? comment.’
In order to determine if a number is “large” you need to compare it to something. In this case, that would be to the number of men that have climbed everest.
Please refer to the following:
http://www.bielefeldt.de/everestse.htm
According to these statistics as of 2002, 79 successfull climbs were successfully completed by women…. out of a total of 1659
This means that 4.76% of climbs where by women; and 95.23% were by men.
Statistically speaking, the number of women that climbed everest is insignificant; and by and large it is true that men climb everest.
(Although it may be significant to girls dreams for themselves)
Dick was not so far off on his original claim as you would have people believe.

‘you may be interested to know that the y chromisome is shrinking. At the rate it is shrinking in 125000 years, men will no longer be in existance.’
You might be interested in reading the following article….
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/2994226.stm
“I don’t think the Y chromosome in humans is going to be lost, I would guess even in 50 or 60 million years, if we are lucky enough to survive as a species that long.” — Steve Rozen, one of the leading scientists on the project
“As it turns out, men have an extra brain gene that females do not possess.”
“…the gene must have played a key role in the evolution of mankind for it to exist in the genome today. ”
Also, it’s a mistake to assume that there would be no males in our species if the y-chromosome did disapear. For example in some organisms (ie: grasshoppers, crickets, ..) where the y-chromosome does not exist, gender is based on the
presense or absense of a second x-chromosome.

Yes alen, my point was that most subjects do require intelligence, and that is why it is a good way to measure intelligence of boys and girls of that age.
I simply wanted to clear up the myth that the reason girls do better than boys is because GCSE’s do not require intelligence.
Thank you for agreeing with me.

Nicole,
When you claim that I’ve said something that I haven’t, you not only discredit yourself, but you weaken the veracity of your assertions.
I never said that GCSEs do, or do not require intelligence; and I didn’t say that most subjects require intelligence, or that grading is an accurate reflection of intelligence.
Those assumptions are yours.

What are GCSE’s?
This string has confirmed what Dick’s article originally stated: “Women define losing an argument as not having the last word.”
I don’t know but I would hazard a guess; all the women who climbed Everest did it with the help of men.
Nicole, you’re sixteen? You sound much younger.

GCSEs are the compulsary tests taken by 16 year olds in England. Maths, English and Science are compulsary.
Not all the women who’ve climbed mount Everest have been accompanied by men, if that is what you mean by “help”.

Really? Then I suppose all of them climbed Everst naked or without the alloys and devices invented by men for the aid of climbing.
That’s laughable. You’ve clearly never climbed a mountain.

Oooo Dick and you have climbed a mountain yeah right. I have :) With my parents a couple of years ago, obviously not Everest, I was like 14.
Jimbo am I supposed to be insulted. Owch you really hurt my feelings, oh yea except I don’t care what you think.
Alen, once again, as I already stated, I do agree with you on this point. :) Sorry for any confusion.
P.S. I get my results on Thursday I am really nervous. I would say wish me luck except none of you like me so don’t worry about it.

No shit it obviously wasn’t Everest. It wouldn’t be obvious, however, if you were a man. Teenage sherpas climb Everest all the time. They’re men alright. All of them.

Oh Dick, is that supposed to insult me?
I’m soo hert. That’s sooo mature.
You completely missed my point. Obviously you don’t know what you’re talking about. My point was [invalid logic]. Just think of how broing this site would be without my comments.
What’s your point?
I don’t care what you think.
I’m drunk again. It’s sooo embarrasing.
Not that any of you care.

Wow. Nicole, I think you might need help. You sound like you’re going through a woman’s typical bi-annual nervous breakdown.
