Scale of 1-10, how offensive is this statement...

Oh, grasshopper, so much yet to learn. It matters not whether you were right or not. Women do not care who is right or wrong. The fact that you stated that a woman cannot do something as well as a man IN FRONT OF WOMEN is a very rookie mistake. There is no recovery from that one, whether you were right or wrong is of no consequence. Those women and all the ones they know will forever see you as a misogynist pig for the rest of your life. Learn to control tongue in future.

The problem is the way you phrased it. It seems entirely possible that women's bodies, on a per mass basis, process alcohol as efficiently as men's. However, because the average woman is smaller than the average man, the clear implication is that women can't handle the same QUANTITY as men.

Either way, that doesn't necessarily address what you said. Your statement could be interpreted as a statement about women's biology as much as it is a statement about their psychology or general tendencies.

After my sister way too much alcohol for her birthday she proceeded to puke all in her car about 10 minutes after we left the bar. When we got back to her friend's place and she had some time to recover I said the above statement. To my surprise my sister and her female friend were highly offended by my statement and said I was wrong. I thought it was common knowledge that it takes less alcohol for a woman to get drunk than a man. But they were hell bent on believing that women and men process alcohol equally and that I was a misogynistic pig for thinking otherwise.

So what say you LRC? How offensive was I? Do you think I'm wrong? If so, what scientific evidence do you have that says so?

You should've followed up your statement with "only a crazy person wouldn't agree with me."

A female alcholic can easily drink a huge amount in a few hours, the same amount would kill me.

A male alchoholic can drink even more.

Your sister needs more practice.

I know you asked for opinions. But I only deal in facts.

Fact 1) Women clearly do not handle alcohol as well as men:

Fact 2) You are a misogynistic pig.

So stating a fact makes me misogynistic? I don't hate women or believe they are inferior. But physiologically men are stronger. It's just a fact. Why get upset over the truth?

Yes, women don't like know it alls.

Please try to understand. It's nothing personal.

1) Stating the fact that women cannot handle alcohol as well as men is completely unrelated to the fact that your ARE a misogynistic pig.

2) If you are asking why your friends got upset, I have no idea. Ask them. If you are asking why I am upset. I am not.

3) Now, as for your strong misogynistic tendencies, I think that there are ways that these can be worked out. But you are going to have to work at it. And as long as you are in denial the healing process cannot really begin.
