  • I don't get whatever seems to be so aggravating to people. It just seems to be a slightly lame joke that whilst women might emotionally process a break-up men would progress their music production? Sure, women being more emotionally attuned then men is a stereotype, but I don't feel particularly attacked by the joke or bothered by it. I may well be missing a level of total unacceptableness, but that's why I asked earlier...

  • The problem would lie in that it seems to determine the behaviour of a entire sex as monolithic and predictable. This is irritating because it's obviously untrue but more than that, this then determines incorrect assumptions about men and women because they're men and women. Dealing with incorrect assumptions about yourself is a pain, of varying seriousness.
