…all I know is when ANY public speaker says that women are smarter than men, the entire audience erupts in applause. Why is that?
I mean, seriously. Why?[/quote]
Because someone (okay a huge amount of women/people) went a little too far with the idea “equal” and figured that the only way someone would believe that if is the party that was considered inferior was shown to be superior, instead of simply equal. I’m sure you’ve expereienced that yourself once or twice.[/quote]
Or…it’s a classic example of the speaker’s address being unnaturally self-assured because they know the audience will applaud them just for saying it.

…and they ALWAYS DO.
Does anyone here think the same reaction would be seen if it was said, “men are smarter than women”?
You would get boos and hisses.
This can’t even be argued.
Feminism may have started good…but it has gotten pretty fucking evil in the way it has twisted society as a whole.
Things aren’t equal when this reaction can be seen in every audience in the country filled with both men and women.[/quote]
More food for thought. Think about how often you have smoking hot, all together wives married to a babbling idiot whose the brunt of all the jokes in a sitcom. Now name ONE sitcom (post 1990) where it’s the woman of the house who is the village idiot. I can’t think of any. Few very good examples:
Everybody Loves Raymond
Home Improvement
King of Queens
Simpsons
To answer your question, perhaps it’s society’s way of giving them a free pass for…ya know…suffering the pains of childbirth so that we can exist? I think I can handle a room full of clapping people thinking for a brief moment that women are smarter than men in return for the pain my mother went through to create me. But whatever, that’s just me. [/quote]
My mom was in active labor for 60 hours with no epidural, and she doesn’t use it as an excuse to be a sexist. So…[/quote]
My mom was in labor with me for “over 48 hours, ALL NATURAL - and you were 9 1/2 pounds!”, as she is fond of reminding me. She isn’t feminist, but she sure uses that one to try and make me feel guilty for whatever perceived transgression I committed (or didn’t commit). LOL [/quote]
Haha I was 10.5 pounds, and she does the exact same thing![/quote]
My mother starts to remind me around 2 days before I was born.
Coincidence?
I think not.
