The Male "Bull **** gene"

Kettleson

In an interview with BBC4 on 17th August 2013, the Chief Medical Officer for England, Dame Sally Davies suggested that men have a "bull ****" gene. Although she also admitted to previously eating hash cakes

In spite of this, would you consider this claim to be worthy of further research?

What a pile of crap.

That's bull****!

I think some people have a Bullsh!t gene. Sally Davies seems to have it definitely.

:eek: I'm man trapped in a womans body, because I can bull**** with the best of them

In the 70's. I'd say the effects have worn off a tad.

I reckon its more a case if men being more predisposed to an overly competitive nature ( to win lady folk over) and this manifests itself in one up-manship and tall tales. Women are more directly catty when competitive whereas you're more inclined to hear some pissed up dickhead claim be second cousins with Bruce Lee.

Still better than the female "naggy bitch" gene

Or maybe CMOs for England have a "sexist pig who talks nonsense" gene

Listen to any man chatting up a girl in the pub. Alcohol plays a part in fairness

Well that's what she's prepared to admit to.

She hardly meant there is an actual gene that codes for waffle (did she?) but there is no denying that men waffle way more than women. Surely that's self evident?

That Sally Davies is actually just a nurse. She's only claiming to be chief medical officer.

Not to sound too "serious business" but I don't find these comments nearly as offensive as I find the fact that she can say them with impunity whilst a man making similar sweeping generalizations against women would be censored by the mainstream media or told to apologise in some way.

Nope, from what I've read it's just a joke.

In the pub, after heavy, heavy drinking, I have claimed to:

1. Be able to pilot a helicopter
2. Work for Google
3. Originally be black, "like Micheal Jackson."

The drink definitely plays a part.

Are you suggesting there is a correlation between the two?

She has the female cow **** gene.

Both sexes have a bullsh!t gene but I find [**generalisation warning**] that where women will painstakingly tell a story with every tiny boring detail to be faithful to reality, men will dress up the story and add arms and legs to make it more entertaining/funny/make them look cooler or more retarded depending on what effect is required. So two different types of bullsh!t and both can be irritating as hell depending on the situation.

Of course men bull****, what else are we going to do? Talk about the weather/job/sport?

Helicopter, yea i can fly one of those too, no bother!
I've also been a professonal footballer, the lead singer of a famous band, Ronan Keatings manager - don't ask, jesus the shame! And last but not least - a reincarnated french aristocrat - that one actually backfired a little bit, i mean wtf do i know about the french aristocracy - this chick was a bloody post grad history student, my drunken waffle was no match for her actual sober knowledge!
