Arguing with women

So tonight I got in an argument with my girlfriend, which started when
she suggested we buy a house together. Currently we have 1 child
together, and I live in her house and pay her for my share of the
bills. I decided not to put my name on the house or get any joint
accounts. She has tried to convince me to do both, to no avail.

So today she is talking about getting a house in a better school
district and wants us both to put money down on it. First of all this
is a ridiculous subject since she has no money, but she wants to
discuss it. I told her if I buy a house, I'm paying cash and putting
my name on it only. She gets upset, asks why, I tell her because I
don't want to put myself in a position where I can get kicked out of
my own house. I'm not even sure that is possible since we aren't
married, but I've ceased being surprised at the ways women can legally
fuck you over.

Of course instead of taking a step back to consider things from my POV
and coming to an understanding why I had these views, and most
importantly dropping the subject, she persists. I can't remember what
all was said, shaming tactics and irrelevant and illogical statements
were flying at me so fast I think I got a little disoriented. It was a
problem with me that I have no trust, she would never do that to me,
it isn't like that in all states, for example illinois is better (we
don't even live in IL and we personally know men who were eviscerated
in family court there, but whatever), and on and on.

I was getting tired of all this bullshit and really just wanted her to
drop it so I could get back to watching Norm Macdonald videos, but she
was not letting up. Finally she says that she thinks I should talk to
somebody about my "problem". I tell her I don't have a problem, and
anyway I don't need to talk to anyone, I've seen enough divorces to
know what the score is. Finally she tells me that I just need to
become a men's rights activist. At this point I was pretty annoyed, so
I tell her she needs to get it out of her system that she needs to be
figuring out what I need to be doing, and to worry about herself. Cue
tears/silent treatment.

So, yeah, totally ridiculous and par for the course when arguing with
women. I think my main mistake was taking the shit so seriously. I
probably should have just made a joke out of it and refused to discuss
it seriously.

Or maybe I didn't make any mistake, I don't know.
