I have misplaced my pants.
HA! Reminds me of arguments in my house. Usually parents vs. kids.
I say an argument is "won" when shit goes the way I say it's going to go. "Do your homework." I win the argument when the homework is done. "Go to bed." I win the argument when the kid goes to bed.
She says the argument is "won" when everyone agrees with her. There isn't a "Do your homework" from her. It's "Here's why you need to do your homework and I'm going to keep lecturing you until you understand and agree." Very frustrating.
Anyway, they say not to talk about religion or politics with people. I think it's because you really can't present any facts in either case that people will allow to change their minds. According to that video I linked, I guess most people aren't intelligent enough to accept someone else's viewpoint on these things.

Too soon old, too late smart
Well, Dub, have always marveled how at the end of an (any) argument, it's always my fault, even when she dented my car with hers, as I was parked in the driveway, waaaay over to my side....other issues as well. Maybe we do need a female as President, against Iranians, Russians, Chinese, etc.

Accountability is a woman's kryptonite.. I too have been amazed at how many times that my wife lost an earring and it was somehow my fault. This is why I don't argue with them I just listen until they're down cackling then I walk away and forget it.

Well, you’re the one who got her pregnant, right? But for that, the bathroom incident does not happen. With but-for causation, you can shift the blame for anything to anyone.

From the time that I was a teen until I was 28 all of my relationships were mere glorified hook up. Between being in the service, working remote Alaska and a few other quick gigs I was never in one place long enough to ever have a serious relation. When I finally did get married and realized what I had gotten myself into I almost had a panic attack. It's been a learning experience but I've come to understand that women are wired differently than men and to survive you have to understand this. I've been married nearly 30 years now and have never raised my voice at my wife. I've taken the brow beatings like a man, allowed her to vent, accepted that it was my fault when she stubbed her toe at work and moved on without any real problems.
That being said I think the original idea of @Zurp 's post was about low IQ people not changing their mind. I do find that women can be hard headed about changing their mind about something they've learned or something that they feel strong about. They're emotional creatures and don't process data, reason or logic in the same way that men do. They're also very prideful and will dig in and double down when their beliefs are challenged. It's just they way it is.

Agreed. And, in all seriousness, my wife is a very smart person. I don't mean to imply that she isn't. I don't remember why I brought her into this.
Anyway, the story with the bathroom was that she says that I leave lights on all the time, so when she saw the light on in the bathroom, she assumed that I had just left it on. That bathroom door swells in the summer humidity and cannot be closed all the way (or locked) about 6 months of the year. Therefore, since the light was on, it must have been my fault.
Also, to be fair, you say that women can be hard-headed about changing their minds. I think most of us can be like that. Talk to a Penn State fan about whether Joe Paterno knew about Sandusky. Talk to a TCUN fan about Connor Stalions. Or a Steelers fan about whether Tomlin really wanted to tackle that one guy. Or a Bama fan over whether their team was paying players before NIL became legal. There's a lot of people who have deep beliefs in their religion.
Anyway, back on topic. When Artemis 3 goes to the moon (next year?) will the astronauts be armed so as to defeat any hostile aliens they encounter?
Or will they meet all the David Hasselhoff clones the East Germans were creating? (You heard me correctly.)

When I first got married my wife asked me when I was going to fix something that she'd been nagging to me about and I told her right after you make me a sandwich (she doesn't cook). That one almost ended in divorce.more like
