Emotional v Rational

Fact : women are emotional.
Questionable fact : men are rational. Oh really? If men are so rational, why do they do stupid things? Like being a politician yet having scandalous affairs.

So people say that because women are emotional, they can't make rational decisions because their emotions prevent them to think clearly. Just because you are emotional, doesn't mean you can't make rational decisions.

Many times men have accused me of being emotional in the sense that i get angry easily. And they accused me of this when i raised my voice, start swearing or start saying nasty stuff. Yes, i admit i was emotional at that time but nevertheless, when i'm emotionally angry, i will always think before i said something so as nasty as the words i said when i'm angry, i mean it 100%. Do i regret saying it? NEVER.

But i think there are some arguments when i said i will do it but i never do it. Because i was overcome but anger, i said it but i later take it back. One reason i do so is because i was too angry and also i have other 'manupulative' plans which i think will work better than the angry decision that i made. But when someone made me angry to the extend they hurt my pride and dignity, I only forgive them 10%.

When a MAN and a WOMAN argue, men would keep quiet while the woman will be screaming their heads off. I asked many men why they do this. These are their reasons :

1. It's a waste of time, energy.
2. The woman is too stubborn to listen. So better shut up.
3. Argument over a small matter.

For me, if you are right, you argue as long as you can. Silence may mean you are guilty. I know i know people say just because you are silent, doesn't mean you give in. Well, on the surface it looks that way. I wonder whether the emotions of a woman give her the strength to argue and never give up.

But my problem with man is this : they keep quiet despite feeling dissatisfied and think it's hopeless to argue with a woman, especially if the woman is his partner. He just keeps quiet and hopefully the woman will shut up. So there is a problem and the man choose to keep quiet about it, giving the impression that the woman had won and problem settled.

However, the problem isn't settled. Because the man feels fed up with the outcome of the argument every time he has with his partner, he seeks his OWN SOLUTION. And that solution is morally wrong. I won't mention what it is but it's wrong. For me, the man is simply too pussy to settle the problem with his partner and thus, look for an alternative solution that doesn't require confrontation with his partner.

So again, despite the man supposedly being 'rationale' enough not to engage in a quarrel with his emotional partner, he still make a wrong decision. A decision that lacks rationale thinking.
