My thought is you apply your biases to the world around you. And color them to your advantage.

One problem. My biases are based on the truth. Therefore, to show that I am unbiased I would have to embrace falsehoods.

Re: my OP... As I thought about IRL discussions/arguments with women I really need to expand their responses. It's not only "I don't want to talk about it." It's also:
"Why are you that way?" and
"You just don't care about the needy."

Women also argue in a circular pattern. It goes like this:

Her: "A" is true.
Me: No "A" is false due to reasons B and C.
Her: "C" is not true because of D.
Me: No.."D" does not undercut C because of E and F.
Her: "A" is true.
Wash, rinse, repeat.

Moving away from IRL I've been observing politics very closely for over 50 years. There is a clear pattern that the left declares victory and calls for the end of all discussion MUCH more often than the right.

So, the question is why? My thought is that is fits the female argumentation style. And in a bifurcation the left trends female and the right trends male.

I actually agree with you here. It's a miracle!

Human experiences color how we interpret any information (what we attend to, our emotional state, etc.). It's not just about integrity as another poster suggested. It's also about ego and pride as well. Plenty of folks have been "put in their place" about various things but refuse to accept it.

Integrity comes with considering all evidence as objectively as possible despite personal bias.
