A lot of women feel better after an uncomfortable conversation, not worse

Then she just wants to vent and/or bitch at you, wonderful...

She says she doesn't understand the way men argue and writes an article about men arguing but all she does is explain herself and self advocate instead of trying to actually understand men. Wow, I can see why men don't want to argue with her.

I threw up in my mouth when i read these. Here, let me help the author of this poor pathetic article.

1) Sometimes men just don’t want to talk.

Lets try it with reversed genders and see if it still makes sense:

1) Sometimes women just don’t want to talk.

Yep! Sure does! Hey, how about sometimes people just dont want to talk? Nah, not sexist and divisive enough!

2) Sometimes, a woman’s tears really scare a man and/or make him defensive.

Lets try it with reversed genders and see if it still makes sense:

2) Sometimes, a man’s tears really scare a woman and/or make her defensive.

Yep! Sure does! Men crying? Are you kidding me? If a man cries, the woman is calling the psych ward b/c he is obviously "losing it". However if a woman cries, she is releasing some pent up emotions and its ok.

3) Sometimes it seems like they dig a hole and keep digging and digging — instead of just saying, “That was wrong. I’m sorry.”

Let's see, do women ever make mistakes? Im not sure, lets try to reverse the genders on this one as well:

3) Sometimes it seems like they dig a hole and keep digging and digging — instead of just saying, “That was wrong. I’m sorry.”

Genderless, but still works for a woman b/c I remember once back in the late 1960s a woman once made a mistake, i think.....

4) Any variation of “You’re just being too emotional/crazy/unreasonable/etc.” is apparently a fair argument.

Right b/c when men get emotional in an argument, its perfectly normal and the cops never get called?

4) Any variation of “You’re just being too emotional/crazy/unreasonable/etc.” is apparently a fair argument.

Gee, ive never heard a pretty little sweet girl use these words on a creepy man before!

5) Waking up the next morning and pretending nothing happened is not a resolution.

Yep, it isn't, good thing women are never guilty of this!

tl;dr - the OP's blog link is clearly the biggest pile of steaming horseshit that has been posted on the internet all day! Stay classy thefrisky.com!

1 is a bit silly.

If you know your husband prefers to not talk about problems that he can't fix, then why not talk with your friends about it instead?

No instead, she gives the 'advice' to men to learn to listen... How about you learn to respect your boyfriend/husband?

Since #5 is related to #1 it's also rather silly.

2 is a pretty normal response imo? The way I see it: cause -> consequence, aka something was done/said -> something happens (eg tears)

Since the tears come during a fight it's only logical to assume it was because of something you said/did during that fight, most likely just when you said it.

It's not our fault women cry over irrelevant things.

3 is extremely subjective. One person thinks he/she's right, the other person thinks he/she's right as well... Perhaps that person is thinking you're the one digging yourself deeper into a hole.

4 made my jaws drop... Women use these arguments all the time, usually in some form of blackmail.
