Picture the scene, an English class several months ago...
The teacher, one of those "young, inspired" ones who likes sitcoms and lives in Brighton with her vaguely gothic boyfriend and genuinely *enjoys* teaching. Shudder*.

We were looking at the play A Doll's House by Ibsen, and it's use of power between genders, etc.
The teacher poses us the question of "Which gender do you think interrupts more, men or women?" Every student in the room (girls included) say that women interrupt more.
"Ah, you see, everybody THINKS it's women. But actually, it's really men."

"Like fuck it is" is what I would have said if she wouldn't have told me off for swearing so I said "hell" instead. "I can think of loads of situations where -"

"No, it's definitely men, it's been proven," she says, interrupting me.

*Yes, she is normally a good teacher, but this was bloody stupid.

Depends
In my family it's two males versus four females.
Lucky to get a word in edgeways.
