Woman - Smaller Brain - Less Intelligent.
With considerable intrigue I read in my national newspaper (NZ
herald) that: 'In a paper to be published in a leading research
journal, one of Britain's most outspoken academics will argue
that men have larger brains and higher IQs than women, to such
an extent that they are better suited to 'tasks of high
complexity'. 'Richard Lynn, emeritus professor of psychology at
Ulster University, who has caused outrage in the past with
claims that white people are more intelligent than blacks and
that criminal traits are genetic, will publish the work with Dr
Paul Irwing, senior lecturer in organizational psychology at
Manchester University'. Now this older male, self-appointed
'professor of life' for the purpose of this writing, is a little
confused at the claims of such eminent academics. As examples:
Ms Condoleezza Rice is an attractive black American who, with
the claimed smaller, less intelligent brain than mine just
happens to be 'The Secretary of State' for the United States of
America. I would believe that to be a task of extremely high
complexity, wouldn't you? Ms Wu Yi another nice looking lass is
a Vice Premier, minister of health in China. How complex can
that job be with a billion people? Ms Helen Clark, a swishy,
healthy and attractive woman. Prime Minister in New Zealand for
the past two three year terms and quite likely a third term this
year. An expert multi-tasker in administering her minions. What
about Oprah Winfrey? With her smaller brain and apparent lesser
intelligence than I she is known to millions of folk more than I
and has made many hundreds of millions of dollars more than I
have. Just a simple search on the Internet will throw up untold
numbers of women around the world who, with these smaller brains
appear to have gained outstanding achievements, wealth and power
in all sectors of society. 'The researchers acknowledge that
women outnumber men at every stage of educational achievement,
except PhD level'. For Gods Sake, women have only been, dare I
use the word 'emancipated', during the last 60 years. So, if
they have reached this 50% plus educational achievement level to
date, based upon simple viral expansion then women must dominate
educational achievement within the next 10 years and thus in
turn dominate that PhD level. Perhaps in reality we are looking
at the scenario where 'Big is not necessarily best' and that
'Quality is more often found in smaller packages' I rest my case
and may God Help Me should any of my male friends see this.
