we have a debate team and it seems that everytime we practise the males just assume they are right, and are never able to concede defeat to a female. It's like that's the most shameful thing in society, to be outsmarted by a female
Trust me - If a guy hates to be proved wrong by a female - chances are he will hate to be proved wrong by a male also: It's just that Thanks to alpha male hierarchy you can't show your displeasure when bested by another guy - but with a female you can make a lot of noise to distract from the fact that you were mistaken about something.
The problem isn't so much about conceding defeat when wrong tho' - it's about the presumption that a man must be right if it's a women making the counter argument. Worst of all is that its not just men who make this mistake - women are far more likely to take men more seriously than other women.
The sad truth is that non-sexist women are just as much of a minority as non-sexist men. Our only chance is to breed a new race of smarter people and take over the world.
