Alicorn, before you try to collect 30 karma by complaining that women get an unfair shake in my comment, why don’t you just accept that I haven’t dated any men?
Indeed I do accept that you haven’t dated any men. I do not expect you to date men, and failing to date men is not unfair. So there’s nothing wrong with beginning your paraphrased sample conversation with:
You’ve independently discovered the the sole “logical” technique that all my ex-girlfriends have ever used to “win” arguments. Let me demonstrate:
But then you stop talking about who you’ve dated:
So if you’re talking to a typical man about a social situation, or you’re talking to a typical woman about anything else
If you mostly hang out with men
And for these sentences, it is not important that you have had only platonic interactions with men or that all of your romantic interactions have been with women.
If you’re going to anticipate my behavior, consider spending an extra 60 seconds to do so correctly.
