For those of you who don't already know, these are the rules that are in effect in every relationship

  • The female always makes the rules.

  • These rules are subject to change at any time without prior notification

  • No male can possibly know all the rules.

  • If the female suspects that the male knows all the rules, she must immediately change some or all of the rules

  • The female is never wrong.

  • If the female is wrong it is because of a vagrant misunderstanding which was a direct result of something the male said or did wrong

  • If rule number six applies, the male must immediately apologize for causing the misunderstanding

  • The female can change her mind at any given point in time.

  • The male must never change his mind without express written consent of the female

  • The female has every right to be angry or upset at any time.
