[Mrs. Don-o]

You had a horrible experience with a dishonest woman. I try to take that into account when I read the rest of your judgment about women's word not being reliable because "all women at all times" are, you say, chained to their feelings, their emotions, their hormones.

I think this judgment is a false generalization about women's nature. I have certainly seen unreasonable, emotionally hyped-up women, but this fault is not universal across womankind.

It's possible that taking your own painful experience and expanding it gratuitously to apply to "all women in general" may be an emotional backlash on your part.

An emotion-driven woman is a shrieking monster. True. But that's also true of an emotion-driven man (usually at a lower, more bellowing vocal pitch.)

An emotion-driven woman is a shrieking monster. True...

I suspect all shrieking women are emotional monsters, sure. But at least they're being honest about it.

It's the quiet ones who are emotionally driven that are dangerous for men.

It has nothing to do with volume.

I don't doubt that I'm angry now and much of this is emotion on my part. However I wasn't happy for many years in the marriage and never considered leaving, ever. I believe that once a couple has a kid, in spite of the vows they've already taken, the game changes. Even if you believe in divorce, which I don't generally, the first kid changes everything. Kids do better with both parents, it's not even a question, and parents owe that to their kids.

As far as all women, they are more emotionally driven than men, and this is a problem in business. I've worked under women who have the power to affect people's lives, and make those decisions based on emotion. It's an unstable way to run a business. The fact that many men now operate the same way is attributed to the feminization of our country. We are poorer for it.
