The test performed in the classroom where the two questions’ responses compared is very interesting. I wish the article elaborated more on the results – the similarities and differences between the provided examples of how women irritate men and the provided examples of how men irritate women. The article interested me with how sex in heterosexual relationships may feed irritation and how it is utilized differently by men and women. The most common irritation of women towards men I encounter and hear of is that men don’t listen to women. The most common irritation of men towards women I encounter and hear of is that women take too much time too… well some men have argued women take too much time to do anything. The conflict between men and women is an interesting dynamic, as many people find many layers to these irritations and many causes that men nor women may be consciously aware of. I feel as though the categorization of man and woman often times hides certain subtle differences – even imbalances – by building up a certain image of each in the minds of those inquiring. It’s easier to imagine an antagonist of someone story once we know they are a man or a woman. That is because there are already attributed characteristics, even irritations, to man and woman. This instantaneous generalization that many people have may feed these irritations.

The two pictures below display irritation between men and women.
