To all: You’ve not met any intellectual women have you?
They do exist, contrary to popular belief... I know because I’ve had the privilege of working with them.

What popular belief, Benny? I’ve known more female Ph.Ds than men.

Do you then suppose that a PhD better qualifies one’s capacity to reason? Do you think this capacity could differ depending on whether an individual is male or female?

Perhaps I should be clearer about this: The popular consensus in academic and political circles [more specifically areas with greater influence] tends to be that women lack competency (hence your image and associated comment) and therefore the practical intellectual (systemizing) ability to lead solutions-based practices (e.g. research).

It is true that many women tend to hold qualifications [particularly PhD’s] in ‘soft’ science subjects (if science at all). Thus, unless you have been working at Los Alamos [etc] I cannot conceive that, at least statistically, you have either a.) known many men. Or b.) known many women. Or c.) are particularly well-travelled outside of the U.S.

I am not interested in banter with you; I am interested in how you arrived at your conclusions.

Uh oh, looks like RC got under your skin a little bit with his Benny quip.

Any chance that you’re a brittle liberal troll?

What conclusion of mine are you talking about? I’ve known quite a few women doctors, women science professors (some in the family), that is all.

You know, your conclusion — where you said women are simple creatures who should live their lives barefoot and pregnant according to the Tea Party Oath.

You did say that, right?

I did say it under oath, but shhh, quiet, the IRS is listening!

If women did run the world, we’d all be stopping every few miles to ask directions!

Whoops -- my bad!

Despite my slip up, I think we'll be safe.

After all, not all liberals are petty fascists who would support the IRS's persecution of their ideological enemies. It's only 84% of them. And surely our friend Benny is one of the trustworthy 16%.

Right?

The toilets would sparkle like diamonds.

The sewers would be more backed up than the Hoover dam!!
