"They may be stupid, but they sure are fun."

[LauraleeBraswell]

Lawrence H. Summers offered a theory to explain why there were not more women in the math and science fields and that was that there might be innate differences.

This woman is an idiot.

[Lurking2Long]

IF women are smarter than men, then how come most inventions are attributable to men?

(Flame away!)

[Grendel9]

Was this the source for that famous line in
Hitchcock's THE BIRDS? "As a specie, their brain
pans are too small!"

[GVnana]

Oh when are the MSM going to get off this topic? Sheesh! I guess it's not over until the man resigns. I'm disgusted.

[humblegunner]

scientists argued that women's brains were too small to be fully human. On the intelligence scale, researchers recommended classifying human females with gorillas.

Oh how I wish my exwife had an FR account so I could ping her to that!

[LauraleeBraswell]

""And I wonder why we women are so willing to tolerate this kind of behavior.""

Does she think she can speak on behalf of every woman everywhere? Who is WE?

[cyborg]

Amen sister!

[Tijeras_Slim]

I'm gonna show this to Mrs. Slim as soon as I change the combo on the gun safe.

Article Snippet: "Hold for a minute — OK — while I dig out my corset and bustle."

A good diet and exercise will work better than a corset and bustle. Thank God for common sense [insert note here: I'm not a "Pulitzer Prize-winning science writer."].

[escapefromboston]

Should women be classified as male gorillas or female gorillas? What are female gorillas to be classified as? lemurs?

[ValerieUSA]

An entire rant based on a misquote?

Never Mind!

[68skylark]

Feminists seem to lack good humor more than they lack the ability to do high-level math.

"When Are You Guys Going to Get It?"

Uh, you get it ok? And bring me a beer while your up babe.

[eclectic]

how come most inventions are attributable to men

You didn't get the memo, obviously. This is because the women were and still are OPPRESSED by the men

[ErnBatavia]

women couldn't keep up with men in fields like math and science

[Dog Gone]

There are differences between the average male and female. That doesn't mean that there aren't notable exceptions or a substantial minority that defy the odds.

Insisting that men and women are exactly the same defies everyday observation. Each sex has their strengths.
