As a man, I try to use logic and reason when I debate someone. Whereas women tend to use emotion and "feelings" to describe their points. How do you debate someone when their entire point of reference is based on intangible and subjective feeling?

And a secondary question:
Do you think girls intentionally use emotion (sort of as a "race card", but in this case a "feelings card") when their arguments are weak? As a way to bulk up their arguments with totally unsubstanciated adn unverafiable "evidence".
JOE -- Thanks for your response.
Olive -- The question was not about winning. It was about conducting a fair argument.
Jennifer -- You are right, I should have mentioned that I am talking about general male/female interactions (boyfriend/girlfriend, etc.). I didn't mean a formal academic debate situation, those events are well structured and have their own rules of debate.
Shhh -- so apparently any discussion you disagree with is immediately slapped with the label "RANT". That's the female emtional reaction I was talking about.
Lioness -- Why do you feel the need to invoke the "other brain"? I never posed the theory that girls' emotional debate style is based on "that time of the month"
For future reference I suggest that you READ the question posed to you BEFORE you make your obligatory claims of generalization and "umbrella insults". In my statement I used the woprds TRY and TEND.

"As a man, I TRY to use logic and reason when I debate someone. Whereas women TEND to use emotion and "feelings" to describe their points."

These words means that SOMETIMES people do these things, not ALWAYS. Lioness, you are a glittering example of how not to conduct oneself in this forum.
Shadou -- LMAO! Does your mother know you are on the computer? You are obviously too young to be online unsupervised with childish remarks like that.
 
i can use both

ho hum

btw if i thought this was a serious question i'd actually give you a serious answer, but it seems to me that it's just an attempt at getting an emotional response
 
Well that would be a stereotype against men and women, as not all men use logic and not all women use emotion to argue their points :-)
 
The same argument can be used against men. How can women have a logical conversation with men, when they are dominated by their second head?

EDIT: You based the argument on gender, so I answered your question using gender as an argument also. If it's justified to put all women under the same umbrella of being ruled by emotions, I don't see why we can't use the same argument and put all men under the same umbrella of being ruled by testosterone. How can both not be equally valid?j

Sounds like you get emotional when the same argument is used against you lol.

EDIT II: And I said the same "can" be used against men. You didn't say "some people" you said "some women" :)

Why are you getting emotional though and generalizing me with the forum and everybody else instead of arguing the actual point? :) What does the forum and your assumed judgement on the personality of the person has to do with the actual argument?
 
There are two distinctly different genders. It behooves one of those genders to have emotions and feelings, besides common sense!
