I've read a book recently (can't remember the title at the moment) which stated something like: Men argue, women negotiate. In a way that would agree with my experience that women in debates often immediately try to mediate. Very annoying and obviously completely counter-productive to debate.
Anyway, not to be too negative: There are a great many excellent women debaters, including on this forum. Yiwa could beat most of you guys without making much of an effort.
haha I have been accused of this a lot lately, especially on this forum, for my criticisms on feminism. I am mostly very cynical when it comes to humans, although i believe everyone has their potential. From my personal experience, even at a young age, I saw men and women with similar levels of aggression, although they come out in different ways. I knew a lady who was involved with politics, very smart and on the ball with most things, in my opinion. She would befriend and be sexually very forward with most guys in the political circles she knew, they were mostly clueless, but she was able to wrap them around her little finger by doing this. It was partly tragic but amusing how she was able to gain so much power from this, and she wouldn't even sleep with them. Bottom line is, these will be the future politicians that she has in her pocket now, and she will go places because of this. My point being, that women are on par more advanced when it comes to understanding social interactions and how to manipulate them than men.
look at it like this, men watch t.v shows about fast cars and films regarding war, women read magazines and t.v doctors like Dr Phil and Oprah which is all about manipulating social situations and understanding them.
Men are on the most part, are easy to be manipulated, as its a rarity to find a man who is in charge of his sexuality and not dominated by it. We as men are no longer challenged to identify ourselves with our own sexuality, there is no rite of passage for man, besides having sex with a woman; look at all these coming of age high school flicks, were the anguished nerds spend the entire movie trying to "score" some blondes.
So men tend to go in three directions now, they become effeminate nice guys, who become impotent and are usually cheated on and eventually end up hating women; you get moronic jerks who goes from woman to woman, while not paying child support; and then you have the last category, which is men going their own way; they will end up in the far reaches of the planet to escape a domesticating culture, and ride a bike in Asia for the rest of their days.
