This is the research we just had to have
November 29th 2006 11:43
Have you noticed that there is now scientific data for everything? Even stuff we all knew, scientists have to find a way to waste what little money we place in the hands of the tax man on data that we have absolutely no use for except to nod our heads and go "Yep! I knew it!" as if to confirm our worst fears or to back up our own convictions on certain matters.
Todays research tells us that "women talk three times as much as men daily" and not only that "they speak more quickly, devote more brainpower to chit chat and get a kick out of hearing their own voices." Well there's a surprise if ever there was one! Was research really necessary to make these remarkable discoveries? I really would like to meet the people who really believe that this research, as interesting as it is, is worthy of my hard earned money for such study. Can't they find anything more important to do their research papers on other than how many words a woman speaks daily (20,000) to a man's (7,000)? She claims that its because of testosterone that men don't say that much. I disagree wholeheartedly with the good Doctor (who just happens to be a self affirmed feminist). We don't speak that much because with the amount of words that flow from womens mouths (not all of it sensible either) we find it hard to get a word in edgewise. To prove my point there was a man who once lamented "I had words with my wife...and she had paragraphs with me!".
She makes the point that girls are hardwired to be girls and boys are hardwired to be boys from in the womb. Oh yeah Doctor? How then can you explain Boy George? I started off with this as a satirical facetious purely tongue in cheek question and then actually realized that that was something serious which needed to be asked because I don't anyone really has the answer to.
She then goes on to make claim that men think of sex every 52 seconds (which is somewhere over 1440 sexual thoughts every single day) and women only think about it once a day! Unless it's one giant single strung out thought that women have because she has to have got her data confused somewhere or maybe all of her listening to her own talking has convinced her of something that we knew already. Women just love the sound of thier own voice whether it's aloud or it's on paper. No wonder she thinks we're deaf to the most "logical" of arguments. It is better to keep your mouth shut and thought to be wise than to open your mouth and be thought a fool. Take heed Doctor.
