not again

Oh dear, here we go again. The "Shakespeare was really someone else" debate is as pointless and as much fun as theology, because you know no one will ever be able disprove your arguments. I can also come up with some good arguments based on stereotypes to prove 99.9999% that the plays couldn't have been written by a woman: The plays contain many dirty jokes, and everyone knows that women are no good at them, and they also contain lots of violence and flag-waving nationalism, which we all know is alien to women, and naturally a female playwright would have made Lady MacBeth a positive character.

Do my arguments stand up? Of course they don't, but they are no weaker than those presented here. As long as we are being presented with evidence of a Heather Mills standard, I'm going to believe that Shakespeare was a grammar school boy from Stratford with a certain talent for words.
