"female brain" yes females are an odd creature, they act in a sort of collective way, with predictable responses to stimuli. Just don't mistake them for individual people with actual personalities and a variety of thoughts and desires.

wtf

Don't be surprised if once you do, her female brain kicks in and immediately wonders why, prompting her come after you. But this is unlikely to happen if you "pretend" to let it go in order to deliberately trick her into coming after you.

sorry my sarcasm tags were apparently broken.

Err, 4mask, have you tried stopping the fire before it grows?

Every discussion we seem to have seems to turn into a war, though not one of attacks on each other.  The best way I can describe it is a battle of wits: each of us trying to one-up each other or prove that the other person's statement is wrong.
ie In a situation wherein conflict springs up, go and say something calming for both parties?
Like "*holds up hands in a placative gesture* I don't want to fight you. [Or maybe with a bit of 'I know where this is going and it's not nice for the both of us]"


Edit wow this was open in a whole other tab for a week -.-

While the general concept is good, do not use that phrase. It is very possibly one of the most antagonistic things to say in that situation.

By itself, maybe. :P
Or reword it to better the situation.

As to the suggestions: Whenever I find myself about to respond to something she has said in an argumentative way, I basically just clamp my mouth shut and say nothing.  She gives me a funny look when I do it, but at least we don't argue.
