Gender Issues

That offends me, and all other paperhangers.

That's okay. I know you're confused and underslept.

"women hold more negative views about war and military intervention than men." Okeydokie. Accepting that, for the purposes of debate, as fact, how do you get from that to 'women are indecisive'? It says, in fact, the opposite. It says they're decisively against war. Does that mean they'd lack resolve in defending themselves? You don't have any evidence to say so. You've made a number of leaps that aren't supported by the facts presented.

And notice, I'm actually trying to use the facts presented, barring a side excursion into wordplay about 'trees", which you clearly didn't find funny. I'm sorry that struck you wrong. It's just that you seem so secure in assuring us that you have learned much in your political science classes, and are therefore expert in presenting a summation of what is, after all, a pretty wide ranging field in a topic that is itself immense. If you told me you had a graduate degree in 'Gender Studies' I would be similarly amused. I take all assertions of authority, on the web and otherwise, with suspicion. It's probably an INTJ thing. I haven't asked for your class list, GPA, SAT score, reading list and copy of your last graded paper, have I? Because if you were Betty Freidan, posting from the afterlife, it wouldn't make a bit of difference to me. What your argument is, does.

And I have LOTS of experiences not germane to this thread at all, if that reassures you.

But I'm not just trolling, if that's what you'd like to say. I'm just debating, because it's taking me FOREVER to read the entire "fan chick" or whatever they called it, thread, and I crave a little live interaction.

Not at the expense of your bloodpressure, however. I'm sorry I've been so annoying to you.

When I reflect that the only thing you REALLY know about me is that I'm incredibly annoying, it causes me to reevaluate my behavior, somewhat. I shall try to be less so, within my limitations.
