Are we still allowed to discuss female logic, (if so then there are a few things to say)?

[grahamg]

I believe I first came across what someone might agree amounted to "female logic", and it involved two of my sisters on the farm who were attempting to fill buckets of water to give to the livestock.

They had the cold tap in the cow shed only half turned on, and fairly obviously it occurred to me turning the tap fully on might speed up the process.

The logic of these two girls was contained in there statement rebutting my suggestion: "We can see the water is coming out quicker when it is only half on"!

So, there you have it, if you believe you can see something, (like water rushing out of a pipe because it is constricted), then this is all the proof you need, and there is no need for further investigation like timing how long it took to fill said bucket.

However, every lesson in life, even learning that these girls were not for shifting, is going to aid you in some way later on, and I guess it has done.

I've met women who seem to think using a microwave to cook vegetables requires as much water as if they were to be boiled in a pan on a stove, but most of all, putting all else in the shade, is the numbers of women I've met who seem to believe because they've said something it must be true!

 

[oldaunt]

You mis-understood. They meant they could see and catch it to turn it off quicker before the bucket ran over and made a mess. The faster the water ran, the less reaction time.

Graham, while I wouldn't be so bold as to claim that we ladies are always right, I would suggest that we are seldom wrong

Well Graham….I gotta go back to that barn. Was that tap really a hydrant? In my experience a hydrant puts out water with a tremendous amount of force. Once you open it all the way up it takes a nano second longer to shut down and by then you can either hace too much in your bucket or even overflow and create a mess. You say it was a cow barn? Cows drink alot of water. About 15 or so gallons a day if milking. I can only assume this was a five gallon bucket…and it was going to take several trips to appease even one cow’s thirst. A five gallon bucket full is going to weigh 40 lbs. .Do you really want to fill it up…have it splashing down your leg…the whole trip to the cow? Uhhh no. As for their answer? My mother taught me if you ask a stupid question you get a stupid answer….

Referring to such ideas as 'female logic' is insulting. But intended to be, I'm sure.

Poor girls were confronted by what's called "man speak".

Sensitivity R Us, is why I mainly rely on self-deprecating humor......if I can remember the punch lines, that is.

"Yes but", and "no but", (or only mildly insulting, if at all,.....?).

My old boss, who was completely in favour of equal pay of course, had to state, (having been married three times), that "women think differently than men", and he wouldn't have been afraid to insult anyone if he so wished, but here I believe he was saying what he thought to be the case.

Thinking differently to a man isn't necessarily a bad thing either, as I can testify because I'm aware just how little is going on in the heads of a good many of my so called friends, and the little that is going on isn't worth much to boot!

You've almost got me there haven't you, except the cattle referred to were young stock, and the bucket only a two gallon one, (or maybe three gallons, its sixty years ago we're talking so the memory fades!).

However it was definitely not a fire hydrant,..., no way, a plain old mains brass tap, in an old shed, and no trouble at all to turn it fully on and fully off, and again how easy would it have been to time the filling of one bucket against another, "but if you think differently, and dont give a monkeys how long it takes to fill said bucket, then you're never about to check and potentially prove yourself wrong are you"!

(P. S. Loved the effort put into your post, and your dear mums comment!).

Men and women from my experience, do think differently, whether that is a good thing or bad thing, depends on how you see it.

Of course

Just don't freaking do it!

Wimin are wired differently

Men generally are working with 9 gauge single conductor

Wimin have fiber optic capability

Total different frequency
They pick up things, vibes, from throughout the universe.....and beyond

and they keep them
somewhere in their purse, maybe
down there with an ancient half stick of double mint gum
and purse dirt

If and when you consider it

just know;

You are about to enter another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination.

I think it's a good thing - when you brainstorm for ideas, more is better. There are often lots of ways to solve problems and hearing other ideas might help find the best one.

Ya know, grahamg, after reading the title of your thread, I wouldn't plan on getting remarried any time soon.

 

[Gaer]

Graham, If I understood any of your posts or threads,
which I don't, because you are from a different planet,
I would say,
Please be careful where you tread.
We ladies don't take lightly to being insulted.

 

[oldaunt]

Keep digging, grahamg. Would you like a bigger shovel?

 

[Packerjohn]

Men are smart but women are smarter! Just look at how men have "screwed up" the world for the last 4,000 years. Time to give the gals their time and their credit.

Women’s English:

Yes = No
No = Yes
Maybe = No
We Need = I Want
I am Sorry = You'll be sorry
We need to talk = You're in trouble
Sure, go ahead = You better not
Do what you want = You'll pay for this later
I am not upset = Of course I'm upset, you moron!
You're very attentive tonight = Is sex all you ever think about?

"NOTHING!"

This is only a little hoeing here isn't it, nothing too racey/scary to worry anyone.

To make you and everyone laugh I'm going to start an egoistical thread stating I'm the "bees knees", and see how well that goes down, (ou only live once so why not take a few risks!).

Can I put an alternative view?

My guess is such an assertion may not be be safe to make, and after all we're here are we, so better than the alternative!

At the rate bees are dying out, you might want to be careful with that....

Are you sure? Seems to be going quite well so far!

"Purse dirt" you say?
Half a stick of double mint I can get, but purse dirt I cant even begin to imagine!!

Differences between males and females can be based on (a) actual gender differences (i.e., men and women are actually different in some abilities), (b) gender roles (i.e., differences in how men and women are supposed to act), or (c) gender stereotypes (i.e., differences in how we think men and women are). Sometimes gender stereotypes and gender roles reflect actual gender differences, but sometimes they do not.

Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus. Vive la difference!
