When Benjamin Franklin found the strength of his logical arguments for
the education of women overwhelmed by his opponent's style, he didn't
whine about it. He started practicing his writing skills, with a set of
exercises still widely respected today. He stopped losing arguments.

Not that he really believed in educating women in the first place.
