Althouse: "The girls always make bad decisions and are always losers. Since I'm a girl, then I'm a loser!"

"The girls always make bad decisions and are always losers. Since I'm a girl, then I'm a loser!"

Maybe you shouldn't let your children watch this season of "Survivor," where they've divided males and females into separate tribes.

We have them convinced of it.

Please don't tell them, or they will not need us, leading to unnecessary loneliness.; 2/24/12, 10:12 PM

"Let's try a balancing thing, women are naturally good at that."

"Nice try, Mark, what's your next idea?"; 2/24/12, 11:02 PM

You're obviously not too familiar with Hillary's story,...; 2/25/12, 12:30 AM

"How are you supposed to know? Fucking men like you built the hydrogen bomb. Men like you thought it up. You think you’re so creative. You don’t know what it’s like to really create something; to create a life; to feel it growing inside you. All you know how to create is death…"

There are some things that women are much more inclined to be good at than men.; 2/25/12, 1:08 AM

I doubt it.; 2/25/12, 1:28 AM

Steve Austin said...: Ann, I like the weekly Survivor thread.

Yes, it has been an embarrassing two weeks for the women, but I see it as less a gender thing and more an age thing.

In most seasons of Survivor, the young and pretty 18 to 26 year olds typically band together in the first few episodes and vote who they consider the really old people off. Doesn't matter whether it is men or women.

Usually what happens though by about the sixth or seventh week is that the really young are also really stupid. And thus they make some fatal mistake and get cast out themselves. This season should play out the same way. You can already see them foreshadowing Colton siding with the middle aged guys to blindside the chippendale crew.

The women I'm less sure of. Not enough middle age types to outvote the sorority sisters at the moment.; 2/25/12, 8:32 AM

Talking. Not listening, mind you, but talking. They could talk the men into submission without even trying.; 2/25/12, 9:30 AM
