Clearly I disagree that women are only qualified to talk about feelings.
You must have an odd definition of advice if you think being suited to talk about farts and oil changes is the only prerequisite for giving advice. (See, I can use gender stereotypes too.) When did I say that? You clearly are just putting insults in my mouth. Reread what I said, and try again.
"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."

 Sarcasm, dude.
Let's sort this out.
You think only men are qualified to give advice because women are better with emotions.
I disagree because women are not only better at emotions. Furthermore, I know some men who are way better dealing with emotional advice than I am. Assertions that men can do anything better universally aside from dangle a penis between their legs are ludicrous.

Hey hey now, I knew plenty of female joes that could write their name in the snow. Most of em knew how to deal with a penis between their legs as well. Definitely better than me on that count, lol.

Assertions that men can do anything better universally aside from dangle a penis between their legs are ludicrous. No, I don't think that. I was just saying that the article is an example of men being better at practical advice. He talked about what he knew about, and that was it. So I was also making the point that men don't go on about things when they have no idea what they're talking about. This is all relatively speaking, though. He could have given her a bunch of bad advice that was actually related to her question, but that would have been useless.
You know what, stop inserting the word "only" in your sentences. That is causing you to screw up the meanings of my statements. You are forcing them into absolutes so you can argue against them, which is a straw-man argument. I'm not saying men can only do this women can only do that, I'm saying on average, men are better at this, and women at that. (Though men are definitely better at sarcasm... :S)

Haha, sure. You only followed up the quoted comment with a serious commentary on how women are better suited to emotional whatnots. It was just that one word you were kidding about. Riiiggghhht.

I actually didn't know if there were any studies done on it, I was just pulling that off the top of my head. When a source was given to me (by the opposition no less), I used it!
