Comics/ Satirists have always been a mirror of society - Swift, Voltaire, Will Rogers, Mark Twain, George Carlin, etc. They are the people who say out loud what everyone else is thinking.
Simply dismissing an argument as silly without explaining why is another poor debate technique.
Something one or multiple people merely think does not reveal any underlying truths. To try to find evidence, one might start from an observation and test a hypothesis. Comedians and pop culture as a whole might mirror society’s ideological mores in some ways, but that alone isn’t sufficient evidence that women are disproportionately intellectually dishonest or inferior.
I never said “women are disproportionately intellectually dishonest or inferior,” YOU put those words in my mouth. I don’t feel that way, and would never endorse anything about that statement.
But it is no secret to any man who has had long-term relationships with women, that they often argue without rules of any kind, and I simply pointed out that it’s not just me making that obvious observation, but it is an entire sub-genre of comedy. Obviously, it is a shared societal experience, and my personal observation has been that it isn’t associated with any particular culture.
As I’ve gotten older, and don’t argue much because I literally don’t care enough about anything to argue about it, I have realized that the strategy of simultaneously combining strawmen, shifting goal posts, misunderstood polls, internet propaganda, click bait headlines, etc., is designed to make me so frustrated and flustered that I pop my cork, and she wins by default.

Just for fun: was John Kramer saying out loud what everyone else was thinking when he shouted the n-word 40 times?

Ohh, so women are genetically illogical. I understand.
So, do you see a way out of this trap, or is humanity cursed to suffer them forever?
Not what I said, so proving my point, thanks.
