scientifically proven: men are idiots

Carry

That men are idiots is common knowledge among womenfolk, though we wouldn't say it openly. After all, they have their uses, menfolk ...

But now scientists (who desperately try to find something to explore, it seems) proved that this old knowledge is well-founded.

The theory that men are idiots and often do stupid things is backed up by evidence in the Christmas issue of The BMJ. The findings are based on an analyses of sex differences in idiotic behaviour.

Sex differences in risk seeking behaviour, emergency hospital admissions, and mortality are well documented. Males are more likely to be admitted to an emergency department after accidential injuries, more likely to be admitted with a sporting injury, and more likely to be involved in a fatal road traffic collision.

(...)

They reviewed data on idiotic behaviours demonstrated by winners of the Darwin Award over a 20 year period (1995 to 2014), noting the sex of the winner. To qualify, nominees must improve the gene pool by eliminating themselves from the human race using astonishingly stupid methods.

I liked this quote best :

Worthy candidates include a man stealing a ride home by hitching a shopping trolley to the back of a train, only to be dragged two miles to his death before the train was able to stop; and the terrorist who posted a letter bomb with insufficient postage stamps and who, on its return, unthinkingly opened his own letter.

I notice you use an electrically powered computer connected to the internet to bring us this news.

Thats very good..lol

Well-and-fine, but technology is driven by inventiveness, and much inventiveness is born of and necessitated by the kind of stupidity only a man is capable of generating. If it was entirely up to women we'd be living in very comfortable and expertly Feng-Shui'd caves!

That sounds like a well documented, peer reviewed study alright. Particularly when the first line you quoted used "theory" in a nonscientific way. It is also a very accurate study based on a single source with limited uses.

If some women think men are idiots...and others think men rule the world, then I think women have a lot of explaining to do.

Nothing good can come of this thread.

Why would anybody put a return address on a letter bomb?

Timberrrrrrrr

I wonder what would happen to my account if i started a thread called "scientifically proven All women are airheads"

Far from scientifically proven either op

From the title

Study supports the theory

Well, once it's accepted that men and women are not equal then we can finally move on from this tit for tat.

EDIT: Now, back to what we were doing;

There is a ban on misogyny here, isn't there a ban on misandry?

I liked this quote best :

I have some studies that certain ethic races have a lower mean IQ also, men from that race must be really dumb maybe it might be linked to crime rates and the high prison rates of the group .

*Childish giggle*

_Whimsical_

I think that what this study ultimately proves is that well respected journals will now print pretty much anything and that we can look forward to the currency of peer reviewed research being drastically devalued as a result.

Maybe too many men on editorial boards perhaps?(I jest)

Imagine if some of those intellectually inferior races had smaller penises too; talk about a raw deal.

Nah i think the studies have found lower iq races seem to get the bigger penis, some even brag about this.

I care enough about this issue to click reply, but not so much that I am arsed articulating a comprehensible response.

Is this the science quivalent of;

Dogs are Idiots.
Men are Dogs.
Men are Idiots.

Scientifically suggested:Men more likely to engage in risky behaviour.

Hasn't this been known for a very long time?
And while it means men are more likely to end up in A and E, doesn't it also mean they are more likely to end up running fortune 500 companies and making world changing scientific discoveries and what not? Good old Y chromosome.

It is, when the sexism is directed at women.

I'd hate to think what would happen if I started a thread along the lines of...

That women are inferior is common knowledge among menfolk, though we wouldn't say it openly. After all, they have their uses, womenfolk ...

I imagine I'd have to go into a witness protection program.

It's scientifically proven that women can't multitask as well as men and have poor spacial awareness.

duh, QED!!

also re: penis size vs. brain size: I have frequently observed a sort of contrary corollary here: when the little head is doing the thinking for the big head, the smaller the big head seems to become.

If you keep them to their own jobs with the testosterone fairly divided between them, all is well in Manland.
