Women -Smaller
Brain-Less Intelligent?
With
considerable intrigue I read in my national newspaper 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 and,
thereafter the world?
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.
