Pissing Off Women



The greatest amount of pissing off occurs when you say something logical that interferes with a woman's emotional belief (in her mind). Even if it doesn't really interfere technically - if she perceives that the statement will interfere with the answer she wants emotionally, she'll get pissed off. I've noticed this with discussions about biological evolution, natural brain differences between males and females, and abortion rights. This is also true with men in all likelihood, although I haven't explored it as much with men. So, you have to consider what the expected emtional interpretation of your statement will be.

Ironically, it's not the topics that she's totally sure about that will cause the most emotional respond. The topics where their conflict in her mind cause the most emotional responce. As if the extra emotion is necessary to overpower the other non-emotional voice in those conflicted cases.
