Please tell me your joking.  Lol!!!  

I am a high school English teacher and taught at the college level for 11 years when I started having children.  I am also the youngest of 10--with 7 brothers.  I know my way around of battle of the sexes.  :) 

If you are actually serious, please let me know if you would like the inevitable, ranting response to be in list or paragraph form.  

Seriously?!  hahahahaha!!   


I want the rant! Go for it!


I hope you'll forgive the gentle admonishment for not following the directions, but you did not respond in full.  Would you like that in list or paragraph form? 

It's tough, I know.  Men often lack the sophisticated language skills that come so naturally to women.   

I would like to add that I intend to be quite thorough.  I beg your patience. 

Omg....this is going to be fun!  Hahahaha!!!

I think she means that women tend to speak in complete sentences using multi-syllabic words, whereas men just grunt, e.g. "food good" "sports good" "woman good".

 "Men often lack the sophisticated language skills that come so naturally to women."

This is an oft quoted bit of nonsense.  Kinda' like the 10,000 hours bit.

Must be women have more "sophisticated language skills" because they have so much more practice?

Nonsense on all fronts.

Not only is this ignorant of any actual science on the topic of the relative cerebral differences between the sexes, it also completely ignores the immeasurable impact and value that human interaction, politics and diplomacy, all of which are underwritten with words, has had.

 To begin, I was not quoting but offering my own belief based upon my experience and various research endeavors.   Additionally, I qualified the belief by using the word "often".  I did so because, naturally, I acknowledge that I am delving in generalizations and do not believe this to be true of all men or even most men.  I simply believe that this is "often" true.

Please don't forget, it was a playful joke in response to a similar dig at women.  Also remember that comment #52, the one that sparked these exchanges, was written by a woman--Trysts.   I say this because her eloquent comment was exactly one line long.  Clearly, brevity is the soul of her wit.  You might want to reconsider what you imply when asserting that women have had more "practice." 

Lol!!

Because she was a girl or because she was a child though?

Avatar of eddiewsox

Gee, I never thought about it. I do know that if a grown man jumped all my men with his horsey-thing I'd bop him in the nose, unless he was a lot bigger than me, of course.

then you'd aim right up the middle right?

Of course, you do!!  I would't be going back and forth if it wasn't complete fun.  I've been talking this talking since my brothers held my barbie dolls for ransom when I was 6.   It's all good.    Cool
