"...allowing men to become "deaf" to the most logical of arguments put forward by their wives and girlfriends."

It would be nice if we got "logical arguments", but mostly it is prattle, or whining, or talk we are not particularly interested in hearing, much less responding to at the time. I say this and acknowledge my wife of 24 years is one of the smartest and hardworking women I have ever known. Still, sometimes, I just want some non-conversation.
