Except you miss the point and the specific causation that some males choose to do this is that their audience is female, which you, as male, will not have experienced in the capacity of being on the receiving end. Obviously.

And it's disingenuous to suggest it's an argumentative or aggressive trait, often it's simply patronising somebody because of their gender, backhanded comments etc.

I'm with you on the cats thing though. Down with cats.
