While having strong emotions can sometimes interfere with your thought processes, this is not automatically the case. For example, I often get quite excited when I am working on a new theory or project, but this usually makes my thinking better, not worse. In both these cases, what seems to be happening is that the mind stores and sorts information unconsciously, providing us only with the end result of this process. Again, the answer is probably linguistic. As we have seen, traditionally women's conversation is less formal, less argumentative, and more concerned with feelings than men's conversation.
Intuitive conclusions are therefore more acceptable in an all-female group.
Men, on the other hand, are expected to argue more, and to argue more logically, presenting evidence in a systematic way to back up their conclusions. It therefore surprising that some feminists actually support a version of this patriarchal nonsense. If women reject logic and rely solely on feelings, they are left in the weak position of having to argue with feelings. Feeling that something is true does not make it true, and it will not convince anyone else that it is true either. The result is that the argument usually goes nowhere.
