 Women fight with words...
If you ever want to see a cold hearted killer in action just look at women in a fight. They smile sweetly while driving their knife to hilt into thier adversaries.  They do it repeatedly and never lose the sweet, butter-wouldn't-melt, smile.  They walk away, still smiling, while the other woman is in a crumpled heap.

It is the way women fight, cold, ruthless killers. They do not even feel remorse.  Why should they? The other woman was armed with a mouth also, wasn't she? It was a duel. The better woman won.  And that's all there is to it. Why on earth should she feel guilt?

Men are ill-equipped for this sort of cold-killer in-fighting. Men never think of the tongue as a deadly weapon, not even when they are being cut to pieces with it.  It's just a mouth isn't it?  Just a tongue.  They do not know of the keen sharpening of the tongue that women have been honing ever since childhood. So very sharp is that innocent looking tongue, it can slice him almost in half and he doesn't even know it yet.  Doesn't realize it until his slips, totally bewildered, in his own blood. 

You have heard of the stupidity of bringing a knife to a gunfight. This doesn't even come close to bringing your fists to a tongue fight.  Unless he manages to get in a sucker punch, he is going to be the main course in the lady's dinner that night.  Le table d'hote.

Will she feel guilty that he is lying, dying, strangling in his own blood?  Not likely.  "Hey! He was armed with a mouth wasn't he?  It was a fair duel. The better woman won.  And that is all there is to that.  Why on earth would I feel guilt?"

Men do not learn to fight that way.  If there is a hint of a battle with words boys and later men, put up their dukes and start slugging it out.  They strike hard and often.  Even if they lose, they will have made it painful enough that the victors will think twice before attacking again. They will go over the words used to never repeat them again. 

This stratagy works very well for men.  They learn the pecking order with nothing more than a few lost teeth.  And even the victors learn to avoid future fights because of the words used.  It works well for both the male adversaries.

When a man and a woman are the two adversaries it will be a different matter.  Unless he attacks first with a preemptive strike he is going to lose. Guilty of bringing mere fists to a deadly tongue fight.

This is actually very true. I'm from the southern United States and when another girl doesn't like you there, they shower you with faux kindness and back handed insults. I can't say that I've been known to do it but I do think it's an inherently feminine trait.

I know you from that far south think of us as Border states, but we know what is what also. (Did I just tumble to which sex you belong?)

Hey, I'm one man that knows he's got a tongue, and I know how to use it! Mostly licking my wounds. haha

That's the spirit. You are lucky if you can even do that. Live to fight another day.
Tipping my hat to you Larry. It was your letter that got me thinking of it.

I am sorry, I disagree. Though a woman is quite capable of cutting a person in two with her words, I find many men who invite it and then run away with their tails between their legs whimpering how hurt they feel. IMHO
I also feel men can be every bit as ugly and backbiting as women. Hey, I am all about equal rights.

Good post though. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Posted by  vestigesofhermind  on 2009-11-07 20:04:09 
  
I've known men who tried it. Never saw one win. At college some of us began to study and practice it. Got pretty good for guys, but no match for the women.
Equal rights?? OK, put up your dukes.
Thanks Vestige... Oh, got to find another name for you.
Posted by  TomasSISI  on 2009-11-07 20:27:16 
  
Let me know when you find the other name! And why?
Dang! Now I am shaking in my combat boots.

I agree with shemelts also.
Posted by  vestigesofhermind  on 2009-11-08 00:52:27 
  
Combat boots? I knew it, I KNEW IT! You are ready for this, aren't you?

Another name? Vestiges of the mind brings to mind "vestigial tail." or the English legal phrase "Want of the balance of the mind." which I always am inclined to think it means "Want of the remainder of the mind."
So it becomes a very unpleasant thing to call someone I think of as a friend.

My friend gave me a nickname, "Commando Cheerleader," for just this reason... It's not always easy to keep smiling while you rip someone limb from limb with your words.
Posted by  irishgirl505  on 2009-11-07 21:56:58 
  
I guess it isn't. I have to say I admire someone who can do it. It's just not my style though as I said to someone above some of us used to practce it in college. The deep cutting remark. But I'm no match for professionals.

Tom...Women may hurl the silver double edges sword tongue, but men say the most crushing things...and a woman never forgets. Nice post!

peace :) shemelts

I don't think I do. Except maybe in dueling for practice. It is never intended unless it is known by both to be just for fun. I really can't get used to it.

at the beginning of the Gulf War a top general was asked what the most powerful weapon then available was..he said "a woman's tears." yep...
Posted by  pastormike  on 2009-11-08 00:21:42 
  
I nearly agree with that. But I do believe in eyeball-to-eyeball combat, the sharper tongue is the more deadly weapon.
Posted by  TomasSISI  on 2009-11-08 00:46:29 
  
Do I detect a note of cynicism? Have you been a loser in some of these fights? LOL I know what you mean.

Never a contender, my much younger girl cousins had half my vocabulary, yet they used words very strategically. An artform I couldn't master or even understand. The only way a man could win a word fight would be to stand across the room and throw the entire 20+ volume OED at a woman, and maybe the Vene'able Bede for good measure.
Posted by  TomasSISI  on 2009-11-08 10:14:59 
  
I never win a fight with my husband I think his sword is sharper than mine.....that and he can never be wrong...

Maybe you are the exception that proves the rule, Moni, but nature is on your side. The old "I can't be wrong" argument will only hold you at bay for a while. But from what I've heard, don't act rashly. You are too sweet to become a casualty in the battle.

you know Mrs G then
Posted by  puck  on 2009-11-08 13:08:46 
  
No. Haven't had the pleasure, Puck. My own ex taught me a lot about this talent of theirs. LOL
Posted by  TomasSISI  on 2009-11-08 16:06:14 
  
My own dear ex could not even draw her weapon, could send snooty French waiters to their knees with just a withering look. I escaped the look or the blade for 20 years and then one day .....

Indeed, words can do more harm than any other tool in a conflict. Sadly, I am very good at this kind of word play although it doesn't sit well with my heart. I try hard not to practice it. Very good post Tomas.
Posted by  heatherslife  on 2009-11-08 14:42:21 
  
Thank you Heather. It is a true talent with all women and sometimes comes out in their own duels. Lucky me, I have only been an observer of it, and not the unfortunate victim.
Posted by  TomasSISI  on 2009-11-08 16:14:00 
  
LOL! Thanks for making me laugh! (Combat boots? I knew it, I KNEW IT! You are ready for this, aren't you?

And thank you about the name comment - how thoughtful.

And btw, my grumpy post is not directed at you at all.
Granted it came to mind as it fit what happened later,
after someone ticked me off, but
that had nothing to do with you. So please forgive if you
saw it and were hurt, confused or otherwise as that was
not my intention.
Posted by  vestigesofhermind  on 2009-11-08 14:58:12 
  
LOL. When I saw you maybe had misunderstood me meaning about changing what I would call you, I thought, Ooooops! I'm out here in no-mans-land and no flack jacket.

:D

Oh...that is harsh!
We're not all so bad ya know.

I DO know that, goddess. But the talent and skill is there. *kissing hand, backing obsequiously away*
Posted by  TomasSISI  on 2009-11-08 16:43:58 
  
Indeed *sharpens tongue* :P.x.
Posted by  Crimson_Read  on 2009-11-08 18:29:31 
  
AH.. *looking at avatar* I thought you were tasting something questionable. You are sharpening the tongue. Che sara, sera.
