Another piece of pointless research

November 28, 2006

Apparently, women really do talk more than men, and men really do think about sex more often than women - and because these startling findings have been published by a feminist, it must be true….

Talk about stating the obvious. 

Just go to your local pub and watch two couples at the same table. The women will be talking; they can talk at the same time, about different subjects and hold a conversation that they both understand.

After exhausting the subject of football, however, their partners will sit there not talking, but staring into space and you know they’re both wondering what the barmaid would look like in her underwear.

Does it really take a research grant to conclude that men and women are different? And more importantly, who cares?
