There's a clue to the problem with your analysis:
Do you see it? You're referring to roughly half our entire species, 3-4 billion people, as though they are all a single unit with singular preferences. Try seeing humans as humans, it's pretty wild your first time out.
I've been fed that line a lot. "Every single woman is a completely unique snowflake that cannot be compared to any other person, place or thing."
Sure. /s it is completely invalid to address tendencies in women's collective behavior. /s. It's not like women are massively effected by trends or peer pressure to conform to their in-group or anything. /s. This line totally isn't an intellectually dishonest non-argument designed to shut down any discussion you don't like without valid rebuttal. /s
So if I find one woman who disagrees with your claim ("women hate indicating consent"), you'll concede your argument is faulty? Because I've known several.
If you modify your argument to "Some women..." then that's slightly more defensible , but not really meaningful because there's all sorts of people. You could probably find someone who believes anything.
If you want to say "most women" then you're going to need to show your work.
No I don't because only the Sith deal in absolutes. You obviously have nothing of value to say other than pedantic bitching about your own inability to grasp generalizations. Goodbye.
Well you certainly lived up to your name.
And storming off is certainly one way to deal with people questioning if your generalizations have any validity, but I don't think it's the best way.
You're insufferable.
You are the one incapable of grasping generalizations and their meaning apparently. Maybe don't use them if you don't understand them?
Oh, I see! You don't understand yet that everyone else is an individual just like you are. Don't worry little buddy, you'll get there - just a few hundred million more years of evolution. I'm rooting for you!
Condescension, attacks on my person, I still haven't heard any actual rebuttal. Other than "You said 'women' plural so nothing you ever say can possibly be correct" do you have anything to say about what I've said?
Would you read a book or two? There's "Delusions for Gender" by Cordelia Fine and "Sex, Lies, and Bran Scans", both of which talk about gender, sex, and brains and how humans in general all think alike. We are more alike than we are different.
Doesn't sound worth my time.
It might make you happier and less stupid
