    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.
