We cant waste the spotlight. Time is short. Change is needed. And women are smarter than men, Obama said during the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit to a laughing audience, according to White House Press Pool reports.
She continued, And the men cant complain because they are outnumbered today.

Not to minimize Lovelace’s achievements, but arguably, Heron of Alexandria beat her out by over 1700 years

Yep..that’s about the gist of it, generally. I don’t mind who knows I’m terrible at math. My husband’s good with it, though. We’re just different.
I think, though, that applies only to conservative women. Liberal shemales are as dumb as a bag of hair.
Men and women have very similar mean intelligence, but men tend to have greater variance. One consequence of this difference is that there are more very smart and very dumb men, whereas more women are clustered near the mean.
Michelle Obama is wrong
I read the first link, and I’m bookmarking the other one for later.
That article was full of quotables and tag lines. I’m having a little dream right now. In it, I print it out, walk up to Moochelle, slap her with it, and make her sit and listen to the whole thing.
How about a female who's also a world-famous actress? Hedy Lamarr. Proximity fuze and spread-spectrum communications work. Brilliant woman. Too bad her work was so classified she didn't get credit until two decades later.
I can honestly say I agree with everything you just said and I am staying OUT of this debate in a serious matter.
Another point I have to watch is to make sure my young son understands the “men are idiots and losers” concepts on TV, movies, etc...is not true.
We are always introducing him to great men of history who knew what it meant to be a man. And of course the men in his life are the best examples.
Men are also overrepresented in the lowest level IQs. The main difference is really the standard deviation — essentially:

Well, the x-ray? Madame Curie? But that’s the only one I can think of at the top of my head. Of course, women weren’t often in a position to make those discoveries.
But I also believe that there are differences in male and female brains; perhaps men’s brains are more suited to that type of innovation, etc.
Plus, socially, women are (on some level, at least), looking for a suitable mate/father of their children, during the prime years, whereas men are more focused on their careers or even, perhaps, their hobbies, which could lead to innovation (I’m thinking of Bill Gates, etc.).
I’m just rambling. Your question is a thoughtful one, which likely has many answers or explanations.
I believe that both the washing machine and windshield wipers are women inventions. Not absolutely positive.
LOL! Bingo. ;)
We already knew the Worst Lady, mooch-elle, was an anti-American racist; however, now she reassures us that she is a sexist pig. This overly large buffoon should shut hr considerable pie-hole.
Odd, she does not look Pakled.
Well, not much...

Interesting... I can certainly see that a woman would invent the washing machine. What a time saver and certainly something that would preoccupy women.
Windshield wipers—certainly increases safety, more of a concern for women/mothers (in the sense that moms, myself included, tend to be a bit overprotective when little ones want to test their boundaries physically, while dads will hold the babies and play airplane, encourage them to climb, etc. :)
It’s an interesting topic. :)
It would be great if someone with some skills woud post a still from the movie about Romy and Michele’s high school reunion (please?!), with Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino.
Romy, I think, claimed to have invented Post-Its. LOL.
Stephanie Kwolek invented Kevlar.
I say let us put man and a woman together
To find out which one is smarter
Some say man but I say no
The woman got the man de day should know
And not me but the people they say
That de man are leading de women astray
But I say, that the women of today
Smarter than the man in every way
That’s right de woman is uh smarter
That’s right de woman is uh smarter
That’s right de woman is uh smarter, that’s right, that’s right
Ever since the world began
Woman was always teaching man
And I you listen to my bid attentively
I goin’ tell you how she smarter than me
...wait.....is that RAAACIST????
