What his research seems to be saying is that women are the laughers and men get the laughs.

This maps onto Yankee Group research. We, too, have found that men are heavier users of these technologies than women, and better educated people tend to have more consumer-electronic devices than other segments.

Most women have had the experience of being in a group of men, saying something absolutely profound, and getting no response at all, only to hear one of the men say the same thing a few minutes later and be immediately acknowledged as brilliant. The woman (who has been made invisible or nonexistent) starts to wonder what she did wrong, or what is wrong with her, and she says little or nothing from that point on (which may be the expected, hoped-for response).

Marriage is a custom brought about by women who then proceed to live off men and destroy them, completely enveloping the man in a destructive cocoon or eating him away like a poisonous fungus on a tree

I think we're definitely getting cool. We used to see research from Asia (about Motorola phones) saying things like, 'It's like some Cadillac that nobody wants.' Now we see research that it's seen as very innovative and cool.

There's a lot of research that shows the exact opposite of what they are saying.
