Hei Lun of Begging to Differ, who argued that "Men like sex more than women do" and that you could verify this by asking your father (!), has
retracted his post. (What it means to retract a post yet keep it online does not entirely make sense to me--people can read his arguments, but not respond to them, since he doesn't really mean them, or something like that?--but regardless, just thought it was worth noting.)
Maybe he had some real life experience in the past couple of days with a girl that led him to reevaluate his position (pun intended).
ReplyDeleteI thought that deleting a post was the mea culpa that showed the poorest form. In my mind retracting one's post but preserving one's self-admittedly bad argument is the only way to beg out of an argument with grace.
ReplyDeleteAs a woman, do you like sex
ReplyDeleteNo, I much prefer it as a man.
ReplyDeleteAs much as men apparently like sex, you'd think men would spend their time trying to convince women that they too ought to become big fans rather than reinforcing women's supposed aversion. Seems somewhat self-defeating. Not that there is much argumentative oomph behind that observation, it's just kind of chuckle-funny.
