"A Better World, Run by Women"

"Research has found that women are superior to men in most ways that will count in the future, and it isn’t just a matter of culture or upbringing—although both play their roles. It is also biology and the aspects of thought and feeling shaped by biology. It is because of chromosomes, genes, hormones and brain circuits."

"And no, by this I don’t mean what was meant by patronizing men who proclaimed the superiority of women in the benighted past—that women are lofty, spiritual creatures who must be left out of the bustle and fray of competitive life, business, politics and war, so that they can instill character in the next generation. I mean something like the opposite of that."

"All wars are boyish..." (read the whole thing)

Right, they're so superior, except for a little thing like inventions.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Yeah sure. If by a "better" world you mean one where they forgot to invent indoor plumbing or electricity.

Boo!

The only guys who say stuff like this are ones with their nuts in a knot. And the women who say it never seem to be the ones who are getting anything useful done, either.

Feminism is the biggest joke played on the postmodern mind. It reduces a noble desire for equality to pure resentment, and tricks you into thinking its failings must be your fault.

Testosterone goes to the brain in late prenatal life and prepares the hypothalamus and amygdala for a lifetime of physical aggression and a kind of sexual drive that is detached from affection…

Must have been a man who wrote and comprised the primary half billion dollar movie-going audience for this shit.

No way in hell a President Anastasia Steele would ever be outwitted, outsmarted or just generally outfucked by any of the world's many very unpleasant leaders.

Our own species hasn’t always suffered from male supremacy. Among our hunter-gatherer ancestors, living in small, mobile communities, group decisions were made face to face, among men and women who knew each other intimately. Men tried to dominate, but it wasn’t easy. They could show off by hunting, but war, that universal booster of male status, wasn’t common.

More total bullshit.

Chimp and tribal societies have levels of violence unimaginable to what we know now.

At this rate, the guy's begging for a Fisking with every single statement.

I am hardly surprised that "research" would "find" this.

1) I mean, if you are a researcher, imagine "finding" the opposite and publishing your sexist hate paper.

2) The question is: a better world for who? It would definitely be different, but while Gloria Steinem now lives free, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ted Nugent would probably be sharing a jail cell.

3) Most of my friends are women, and even they admit and often lament that women are very poor at getting along, and that men are generally much easier and direct.

4) Women are, for the most part, protected from dangerous duty like combat by the sexists attitudes of us males today, but if women were in charge would we get the same protection or be used as cannon fodder and be given a role similar to that of a police dog?

5) Conservative women don't seem to win the fight for power and influence now, and I wouldn't expect them to in this brave new world.

Am I wrong that Steinem is still alive?

It's bad news for a sense of humor.

All of this "Women are better than men" hype - it is all all all hype and proooooooganda to promote Hillary.

It is also biology and the aspects of thought and feeling shaped by biology. It is because of chromosomes, genes, hormones and brain circuits.

Note the reliance on the passive voice and recasting of grammatical subjects.

"Research" hasn't "found" shit. Researchers have hypotheses which need testing is all that has happened.

I look forward to a better future where all menstrual cycles are in perfect synchronization.

A long-dead Harvard professor of chemistry used to rail against the over reliance on the passive voice in chemistry and scientific writing in general. Like Orwell, he thought that letting slipshod thinking describe concrete observations would lead to trouble.

Now we have a situation where bad writing "sounds" scientific.

These bitches couldn't be mellow in Amsterdam!

Amsterdam dude!


That's actually a pretty strong indictment.

The current Argentine president Kirchner is a great model of leadership.

Shouting Thomas said...

Shit, an entire series of quotes from Ritmo that I agree with!

By the bye, I've been corresponding with Mark Stahlman, the leading Marshall McCluhan scholar. Stahlman writes quite brilliantly about how media creates consciousness.

I was surprised to discover that McCluhan was a devout Catholic!

So hunting was "showing off"? The actual procurement of food in an age before animal husbandry was "showing off"?

The loon who wrote this is "showing off" -- hoping to get laid big time.

Patricia Arquette, bless her hart, got the ball rolling.

What I don't quite follow how the same side that gives this can also gives this women are better.

There is intellectual dishonesty going on... or something.

Dad Bones said...

We've had our black president; now we're destined to have a woman. Murdoch said some time ago that he could go with Hillary as president. If Fox and the MSM are behind her she's pretty much unstoppable.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

Patricia Arquette, bless her hart, got the ball rolling.

Yes she did.
And it's all a big hollywood lie.
Spreading the falsehood that women, here in 3rd world America, this horrible backwards nation where everyone from around the world wants to live...

It's all hype for Hillary. If we hand power over to her, like good stooges, she will be our very own Kichner socialist.
& women everywhere will be saved from baking those annoying cookies.

Amartel said...

Margaret Thatcher was a great leader. Unfortunately, people in her own party dragged her down because she was a woman.
In contrast, Hillary Clinton (and Fake Indian Warren if it comes to that) (and Barack Obama) is a hack who got promoted through the drone ranks for completely hypocritical reasons having nothing whatsoever to do with actual qualifications for the offices they hold and held.
Obviously silly and extremist essays like this are designed to keep us at each other's throats so smarten up and don't play along. Great leaders are few and far between so it's not in our interest to be picky about attributes that have nothing to do with quality or qualifications.

I regret sticking up for her, just hours before she nuked the Oscars.

I remember you were like oh her husband is so lucky and them Booom!

Queen, Empress, Crown Princess, Grand Duchess...

Catherine The Great, Cleopatra, Elizabeth I, Hatshepsut...

Gee, we've never tried women as rulers, have we?

Synova said...

It's simple biology... Men posture and fight, decide who is strongest, and quit. Women don't have the luxury of letting her enemy get up to try again so it's scorched earth, all the way.

Whoever got this asinine idea that women were the gentler, more cooperative sex, must have been smoking something.

Elizaberh I was kind of kick ass, wasnpt she?

But remember -- these feminists won't do war no more.

Haaaha ha hhaaa ha ha ahha hah ahha ha ha ah
{gasp}

I did hear a woman who sounded like this a couple months ago at a conference I attended. Prior to that I thought they were a bad dream or an invention -- but she didn't like football because it encouraged men to be violent.

Women don't have leaders killed?

News.

When Ritmo's right, he's right.

@ Darcy (above)

My thought also.
