Are female Hurricanes stronger than male hurricanes?
Do male hurricanes lose strength and fall asleep after a couple minutes while female hurricanes keep getting stronger?

Is it easier to distract male hurricanes?

Is the weather service sexist for naming the strongest hurricanes after women?

2. Actually, the problem with male hurricanes
is that they get lost and refuse to ask for directions. So they just die out over the ocean.

3. What if they name the Hurricane "Pat" or "Erin"?
Gender confused Hurricanes would just be aweful.

4. I think it has something to do with females and all that warm water
at least that works for me.

5. actually they're even matched
that is, until the male ones start taking steroids. It's just cheating.

6. So, in order to avoid Katrina/Rita style disasters,
we should stop naming hurricanes after women.

Hey, this works for me. I have an intense fear of hurricanes, and having a gigantic, decidedly unsexy storm named after an SO might be enough to ruin my relationship. So, go for it. I move to name all future hurricanes after men.
