How to use "Mulish" in context?
If you think about it, there are a few things that could be classified as mulish. Maybe someone who is overly stubborn and won't listen to reason. Maybe someone who is openly hostile toward anyone or anything. Or maybe someone who simply won't budge when it comes to their opinion, no matter what. But whatever it is, Mulishness can often be quite frustrating. Why won't they listen? Why can't they see what's right in front of them? Mulish people can be really hard to work with, and that can often lead to problems.
