How is it that all these dudes have suddenly become authorities about women?

There are enough misconceptions about either sex that make any jokes about it unfunny.

In my observation, I will make a general comment. Women are more civilized when it comes to settling disputes and fostering communities. That's because they are the carriers of children, both men and women, and have the need to see that they are nourished. I accept that this is a generalized statement but not wholly untrue.
