This is a question Sexism

Freddie Woo tells us: Despite being a well rounded modern man I think women are best off getting married and having a few kids else they'll be absolutely miserable come middle age.

What views do you have that are probably sexist that you believe are true?

Generalisation
What you're talking about is generalisation not fuzzy logic and it is a perfectly valid, if sometimes risky, approach to decision-making.

While you're correct that it is wrong to assume that because one particular woman has a certain attribute therefore all women must have that attribute, I have to take exception to your examples. Most women do like babies and do want one of their own (so do a slightly smaller proportion of men). Most women will tend to give more weight to their feelings when making a decision (same as most men will make incredibly bad decisions based solely on pride), and I've never heard anyone blanket-label all women as gold-diggers, but the need for security when choosing a partner is as ingrained in the female psyche as the desire to motorboat is in the male.

I've always tried to treat everyone as an individual, but the older I get the more I rely on past experience when I am forced to make snap judgements, and I believe it's this mechanism that leads to the sort of "received wisdom" you rail against. As much as I try to keep an open mind, no woman I've ever dated (even the ones I'm still friends with and love dearly) has done anything to shake my increasingly firm conviction that you're all a bunch of nutjobs.


I do love tits though

well written and most likely true but you have to take a lot of these comments with a large pinch of salt.
