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?

Courtney,
‘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.

Nicole,
You said: ‘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’
Sorry, Nicole but maths and sciences require much more than just knowledge. They are problem solving; and that requires a great deal of intelligence, creativity and discipline to do properly. They have an obvious incontrovertable impact on the world and society. English Literature? That’s debateable… but I suppose that’s your point … and Dick’s…

Does this mean that as a woman I should not be doing Maths and Biololgy as A-levels then?

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.

Jimbo, if there was a manly way to say “that was priceless” I would say that right now. But there isn’t. So never say that, men.

courtney,
New information re: your hope that men will die out is at hand:
NEW YORK — The human Y chromosome - the DNA chunk that makes a man a man - has lost so many genes over evolutionary time that some scientists have suspected it might disappear in 10 million years. But a new study says it’ll stick around.
Researchers found no sign of gene loss over the past 6 million years, suggesting the chromosome is “doing a pretty good job of maintaining itself,” said researcher David Page of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in Cambridge, Mass.

Sorry to disappoint you ladies.

Clearly a woman must have been in charge of the first batch of research.
Women. Can they do anything right?

I would be pissed off that someone on here is pretending to be me, and saying very Dick like things.
But then imitation IS the sincerest form of flattery:) (its my comment and I’l smile if I want to)
Thank you for your support W-Hortencia. In case you were wondering I got: 2 A*’s, 3 A’s and 5 B’s and I got into my first choice 6th form.
I am soooo happy!
