Who has ever been in a fight (especially with a significant other)?
By the power of sexist generalization, we can assume that such a fight will end something like this:
Male: "You're being irrational!"because males are primarily logical and females are primarily emotional, right? Thanks, antiquated beliefs.
Female: X[ *explodes
Calling someone irrational is probably the worst way to argue a point, even if that person's reasons, or position, makes absolutely no sense to you. Calling a woman irrational because you believe she is only thinking emotionally is belittling her worth and dismissing her perspective.
In mathematics, there is a category of numbers considered Real. They can be quantified, they exist and their square roots are positive, rather than depressingly negative, like those Imaginary numbers.

As far as we know, Pi, square roots of non-squares, Euler's constant "e", and... many log functions are irrational.
How will this comparison with people work? Irrationals go on forever? Cannot be expressed in fractional terms of rational numbers?
comparing people with numbers..
8 - snowman
1 - really skinny caucasian/jew
0 - top view of a bald guy
9 - fetal position on the floor, top view
