I take it Mrs Worstall isn’t a regular reader?
No, not WHOLLY wrong. Partly. She only said “many”, not “most”.
And it’s probably because said dumb beasts can’t talk.
Hatred is a deep feeling, and I reserve that for some pretty dumb beasts.
Intelligence is not necessarily a quality guaranteed to generate positive deep feelings. Furthermore, dumb beasts don’t need a considerable investment of time and money before they will reciprocate affection. Neither will they walk off with two thirds of your worldly goods because you left a worn sock on the bathroom floor.
If you’ve had a woman do that to you, GOM, then I respectfully submit that it may have been your selectivity at fault.
Possibly depends on whose worn sock she found on the bathroom floor.
And what it was worn on.
