My parents once had a massive blazing row about whether there was such a thing as a "Shrew Mouse"
When my dad proved it with a nature book they didn't speak for days.

Did he tame her in the end?

I don't get that
It's not as if your father had created the animal to make her wrong. Why people don't like to learn new things?

But it's a bit like you and the breakfast cereal
small things get to people

Yes, I do get that
But the milk was important. Important!!! And there wasn't milk! And I'm not a person until I've had breakfast and you know it! You know it! And you didn't buy milk!

Sorry, I got carried away.

But shrewmice are important as well!

Not as important as my milk
Are you going to have them for breakfast? No, are you? there you are.

Misogynistic Answer:
If you're arguing with a man, you can win the argument with books and facts. If you're arguing with a woman...just run. Run far away.

You can still win
If she's a clever woman. Then, if they aren't, you can use HIMYM technique:

For him: When she's going to get upset, just leave the room slowly and with a smile.

For her: When he's going to get upset, show him your tits and have sex.

Works everytime.

Damn.
Clearly I should get angry more often.

But remember
It only works with stupid women. If she's clever, you might end up having a proper argument.

Hmm...it certainly wouldn't help the argument if I were to get the wrong idea and mistakenly whip my cock out
Though at least if I were losing the argument, any tension would instantly dissolve in fits of laughter.

No, it wouldn't work, no
For women, sex after an argument means: "We have sorted our problems talking and now I want to love you and have sex"

For men, sex after an argument means: "I'm still a bit upset with you, but if we have sex now I'll love you again and everything will be fine"

So women understand sex as a reward (for themselves) after sorting a problem, and men think it's the way to sort the problem.

Now
As you only have a "little problem" it would probably make the tension dissolve in fits of laughter, yes.

Misogyny is rife today!
It's cleverness not gender that determines arguments. A stupid man won't accept facts and logic anymore than a stupid woman

Of course not
It was just a joke. Calm down, calm down.

Oh
I should have walked away without argueing with you.

I'd say 'unreasonable' rather than stupid.
But you're right.
