I didn't owe you any rational case. I was dismissing your essay. The very basis of applied rational thought is overcoming emotion. Your first target seemed to be that women are inevitably overpowered by emotion, then you switched to they -can- be overpowered. Of course emotions can overwhelm, but that was not the original target comment at all. When OP stated that women are incapable of rational thought you came to OP's defense Please don't move the goalposts and condemn me for being irrational. Besides, you didn't address your sole source being anecdotal and personal -- it doesn't matter how much highschool english class terminology you use.
