All women (notice I said "women", not "girls") like confidence.

There is no such a thing as "all women". There are only individuals.

True, but most of those individuals like confidence.

Maybe, but that's not a sufficient reason to make assumption on people based on their chromosomes.

How would you judge me if I started a sentence with "all the blacks..."?

I prefer not to judge and you shouldn't judge Hokey for a colloquial expression.  For example, I'd stand by a phrase that said "all teenagers are a pain in the ass".....because they are.  Smiley

I'm not really judging Hockey either. He probably means well. But these "colloquial expressions" have to be called out for what they are: bigotry. Often unconscious bigotry, but bigotry nonetheless.

You are wound wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too tight, young friend.

Ok, Tony, 99.999999999% of females I've met like confidence.  

Statistics pulled out of one's ass are then next step. Not a huge improvement, but still an improvement.

Bolded, recolored, underlined, and resized.  Have a brief relaxation, Tony.

You people (angus excepted) do realize this is a baseball thing, yes?

This is also worth mentioning.

I do, but its origin in baseball is rather irrelevant today.

Xahar is just touchy because his Giants were in 7th place.

Well, any thread concerning women will bring out a lot of sexism, so...


true, but this wasn't a thread about women.  it was either a thread about baseball or possibly a thread about politics.  



And about Gustaf getting laid.

Has Naso ever told the story of his first encounter or described the individual that he lost his virginity to? One word I have for the entire situation as I know it: yikes.

Transvestite?  Old lady?  A fellow ginger?

I'm going married woman with a jealous husband.
