Part Three

It is time for the third and final installment of the extended animal metaphor.


I'll be brief because quite honestly I am bored with the subject and you should be as well.
There are countless other examples proving my theory correct. Feel free to add your own in the comments box or email me so I can add them. I will post them for those to lazy to sign up, Tom. I'll stop the bitterness now and get on to the subject at hand.


Training - Dogs can be trained, cats cannot. That might not be completely true. Dogs can be easily trained while you have to be psychotically dedicated or beat a cat to train it. That is true.



Men can be trained. I think most men would agree that they have been trained by their owner, whether it is boss or wife or girlfriend or coach. "Yes sir whatever you want." Look at the army they take...um...our finest...young men and turn them into a mean fighting team. There is something pliable in a man. Something that makes him put down his self interest for team. It is the thing that made his give up his nomadic ways and start farming. It is the thing that makes him a bureaucrat.


A dog is not much different. It too gave up its life of wild wondering for the guarantee of food. The promise of food is the key to the domestication of the animal. A dog will leap through a burning hoop for a treat. A dog will do this for food. Dogs like food. Wait that’s not true, dogs eat poo. They don’t like food, they like eating.


So what on earth does this have to with the battle of the sexes? Not a lot


Men can be trained. Women can’t.


Unless you beat them.
