Is There Anything Good About Men?

Post by Matt Gregory »

Here's the best paper on gender differences I've read in a long time. Just thought you guys would be interested.

Well you may find this interesting as well: Sex Differences in IQ

The findings of the article conflict with the findings in the link I posted above.

But otherwise it was an interesting read. I do not agree on some points, but I'll get back to that once I've had some time to think it over, and look up some information.

IQ isn't a very good measure of intelligence.

Generic women are just as limited as generic men, perhaps even more so. It is debatable. The majority of women seem to be vapid, vacant, and vegetative baby machines. However, to keep this criticism fair, on the other hand, the majority of men are violent, vile, and vehemently prideful fools.

It was an excellent, common sense article.

I agree that was a good article. I wonder how many people will ever read it.

Ryan,

Are you describing your parents?

Is your mom:

vapid

vacant

vegetative...baby whatever


Is your dad:

violent

vile

vehemently...prideful whatever

And now, why all the words that start with the letter "V" ??


Are you:

vain

Yes, I also thought that it was an excellent article when I read it back in September last year, courtesy Jamesh: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3415&p=53687.

Good article, though.
