Too much testosterone!

Heineken Helen

That’s the problem with the bloody world today. I was watching the news last night and noticed how it was a woman presenting but yet all the articles were about men arguing with eachother. The main news is the big election campaign… big, fat, rich, ugly men squabbling over who’s telling the most lies. Then it was about the new airport terminal and men arguing over who’s going to pay for it, well it won’t be coming out of their pockets anyway. Then there was something about the war in Iraq and I ain’t gonna start on that. ALL bloody men arguing about crap.

Women (and I’m not talking about those who already have more testosterone than your average mail) need to stop doing whatever it is we’re doing and force them all to grow up :mad:

Well that’s hopefully my rant for the day :rolleyes:

all that tells me is that men are in the positions of power... switch the news to the reduced section of Tesco's and you'll see big, fat, ugly poor women arguing over who had their fat hands on the half price 12 chicken drumsticks

It's hard to tell if you're joking there or not. I need smilies dammit!

well they're not all necessarily positions of 'power', it's just all squabbling I noticed that dominates the news... women don't make the news cos they're generally loving peacekeeping people. Men, on the other hand :mad:

Hitch, I don't need smilies for this one :(

all of your examples were of men who are in positions of power.

women argue more than men... its a fact... and one which you'll try and argue with hereby re-inforcing my point that women argue more than men... its a win-win situation for me

well the only women I've seen on the telly recently were:

Miriam O'Callaghan who mediated the election debate
The newsreader last night telling us about all the silly men
The weather forecaster in her pretty pink suit to soften the blow about all the upcoming rain.

No arguing there.

1. so we have a mediator... someone who mediates between two people having a debate... i wouldnt expect her to argue

2. a newsreader??? who is she supposed to argue with... herself?

3. a weathergirl?? who is she supposed to argue with... a cloud symbol?

That's the biggest pile of horseshit I've ever heard. You're basically saying because you see men arguing on the news, men in general argue more than women. Keep in mind the men you're talking about are politicians - it is basically their job to argue. If Mary Harney was on she'd be arguing just as much.
Never seen a married couple argue? Never seen girls argue amongst each other. Come on Helen!

I could comment on how argumentative you're being but I won't

My point is how pretty much all the current affairs are testosterone fuelled. I was in a kinda anti-men mood yesterday and watched the news and thought 'men, men, men, men... oh and more men', 'oh and here's some sport news now... more men'... but then they had the pretty lady in the pink suit to give the weather forecast, why bother?

And Mary Harney is one of those aforementioned women who probably has more testosterone than a man anyway :mad: don't use her as the female example

oooh obdurate. big word for a man who giggles.

we see men argue more on television cause men rule the world. they are the ones who make the dumbarse decisions therefore it's only fair we get to laugh at them when they do it. that way we can get all high and mighty and say that if women ruled the world there'd be no arguing or at least not so much and there'd probably be no wars either. which as we all know is bullshit.

I'm just trying to figure out why I should vote for any of the candidates, I mean how the fuck would any of THEM know what me and people like me want or need? How are they supposed to represent ME in making decisions? I don't get it... I fuckin hate them all!

:eek: I have NO aunts visiting at the moment... and they're lucky cos I'm a grumpy bitch

But no, I'm just pissed off in general with the way this country's going... why is there no left wing party? How the fuck are we supposed to vote in this election? Seriously?

I think it was Camille Paglia that said, "if women had been the dominant sex, we'd still be living in grass huts" (poorly paraphrased)

Maybe that's not such a bad thing, huh?


EDIT: found the quote: "If civilization had been left in female hands we would still be living in grass huts. "

Have I expressed my love for the outdoors and my need to be closer to nature?

Honestly, I really don't like the way the world's 'progressing'

There are just too many men around, I work with them, I live with them... I need to go on a spa weekend or something ok, well I'll settle for shopping after work

I blame the weather . I can't sleep and seem to have a permenant headache. I wanted to cook yesterday but I would have had to do the dishes AND clean BEFORE cooking so I had a cereal for dinner... cos I didn't want a takeaway. So that got me pissed off with men before I even switched on the telly.

Anyone ever notice that it's ok for women to be "anti-men" but if us men are "anti-women" in the same way, we're sexist pigs?

I find that odd. There's a reason men rule the world.

Have a nice day everyone.

Yep! It's because women let them. Keeps them occupied thinking they're important, while the rest of us get on with the work.

I often wonder about how deluded women make the world deluded. All this happy-go-lucky, fantasy, estrogen bullshit that has the world's kids believing in the supernatural.

I don't actually believe that's true, unless it's true that testosterone is the cause of power and crime.

well if we're anti-men, we're more likely to just ignore men for a while or turn into lesbians. If men are anti-women it's usually cos their mother didn't hug them enough and then they turn into serial killers and stuff :cool: .

And the reason is cos the women are too busy bringing up the future world leaders to actually have some ambition of their own.

Have a nice day you too you going to lolla?
