One in Three Women is Illiterate

Sometimes the statement men are better than women leaves me wanting a little more in the flavor of substance. It’s not often. Like all men, the shortcomings of women are something I’ve learned to accept and move on. However, occasionally we men need to re-evaluate. We need more than rational hypothesizing and logical conjecture. We need facts for the why’s and how’s.

I pose this as a formal theory. Men are better than women at everything because something like 30% of women are illiterate.

Sounds shocking doesn’t it? But really, when do women need to read? Numbers don’t count as reading, so illiteracy does not impede women from writing checks or measuring all the progress they’re not making while they’re not working out at the gym.

Before I get too ahead of myself let me quote some statistics. UNICEF and UNESCO say that two out of every three illiterates is a woman. They give the world-wide feminine literacy rate in the sixtieth percentile, while the male literacy rate towers above that number at nearly 90%. I think you’ll agree that that’s plenty of numerical majesty to spare.

Initially, when I saw the figures I thought to myself, maybe that’s why women are so shitty at everything. Just like the kid who is really shitty at baseball and then it turns out he just needed some glasses. Maybe women just need to learn how to read.

Then I realized the writing on the walls of every cluster fuck women are about to step into is only metaphorical writing. They also don’t need to be able to read to shut the hell up every once in a while and listen when something other than Oprah or an appliance that resembles Oprah is dispensing sound life advice.

Perhaps instead of Easy Bake Ovens and Barbie Dolls this Christmas, mothers should be buying their daughters Hooked on Phonics.

Diamatik and sots, are you currently in tertiary education or have you previously completed tertiary study? If not, then how exactly do you know whether the majority of female students sleep with lecturers to get a pass? Is there a scientific study you can perhaps direct us all to to verify your claims? No? Then perhaps you’re just going with gossip and prejudice because you can’t handle the fact that women obtain degrees on merit and smarts. Boo hoo.

No need for that though. It also works the other way, female professors sleeping with male students. What they get out of it though, I don’t know. Probably paedophilia or something sick like that.

@Sparky For my sins, yes. And I too read Mike Adams’ columns.

@Luka “…” indeed. Very droll.

I love reading up on Mike Adams on Chapel Hill battle the feminists and his columns. I saw him speak once and he was great. Wolfe, you are a professor still?

The education system has definitely been dumbed down. No question.

While it’s tempting to blame feminism for this, I can’t in the case of the post-secondary system. Correlation does not imply causation.

On K-HS education, I see some limited causation involving a female-friendly dumbing down, but it’s limited. Really, the idiot-friendly boomers are more to blame on this than the feminists.

As for women sleeping with their professors, this happens less than you think. First, many lecturers are female (granted, there are some that swing that way, but overall, this is perhaps surprisingly not the case, despite the harshness of their anti-male rhetoric). Second, it’s instant career suicide for a man to even think about sleeping with a woman in large parts of the university system.

There’s extraordinary promiscuity in the university system, but most of it does not involve the faculty these days, unlike the fabled 1970’s.

LOL, Alex. Brought up the corporate side too. I am not sure about the 90% figure, but I do agree it happens.

Bull-fucking-shit! Your feeble mind is thinking that just because you don’t know about it that it didn’t happen. It does happen, but it’s just that people don’t often get caught.

Next time, please pull your head out of your ass before posting, and spare us such utter rubbish.

Here it is: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10965522/site/newsweek/

Alex, that was just one of many. It is a scientific fact that women’s brains operate differently than men’s for the most part. I excelled in math, science, and logic based subjects and find myself to be overly objective instead of subjective compared to my female counterparts. I am in the international education field and let’s just say, it is very true about our education system. I volunteer to tutor high school and early college math, and I am appalled at how the books are written in today’s age.

And women not sleeping with their professors. Do you think people advertise they are doing that? You are living in la la land if you really think that doesn’t happen. Women are sluts and I see it happen in the corporate world too. So please, open your eyes.

Translation: I’m a woman with above average intelligence, and I don’t coddle whores which means I barely have any friends but the small amount of friends I have don’t use their twats to pass.

Reality: 90% of females in college use their smelly STD infested snatches to get a college degree and then do the same thing to work up the corporate ladder.

In the past, it was actually more equal. Everyone got treated the same. As a woman, I think I would kill myself if I had to go through modern day public school education. I shake my head every single time I tutor young women in math. 1 out of 10 are interested in education. And the books are all geared to pass a test. I am looking for that article I read a while ago about the dumbing down being gender based, but I also believe it is because of the amount of kids that can’t even speak English.

It is pretty well documented that education has taken a turn south for women. They have ‘dumbed’ stuff down to be gender fair. I am so grateful I got my education before all the PC feminist and feminist supporting pansies ‘revamped’ it. The only feminists I can say I appreiciated were the ones that fought for my right to vote and the fight to give me a CHANCE. If women really wanted to be equal, they would have no problem making their own way and toughing it out. Men have to do it all the time. I think the whole modern day feminism is an insult and patronizing. Like saying, oh, you need extra help because you are a woman. Screw that.

I’d like to make two points, however:
1. Islam: nothing against the religion as a whole- but Islamic countries tend to discourage equal education for women.

-I have a serious problem with Islam. For all of your “tolerance”, it seems that those that you are tolerant torwards, are intolerant of your views, and mine as well, M.Goldstein. I have read the Koran, and in my view, much like the Bible, it preaches a seperatism of the mind more than anything else. To put this into practice in reality, would reduce non-believers into slavery. Even followers of the God of Abraham.

abaddon_fff

I do honestly mean it when I say say that I feel sorry for you if for your whole life you have been surrounded by only stupid women- that is a sad thing- because you have been denied the truth-

-There isn’t anything that’s absolutely true from a human perspective. Man cannot produce absolute Truth because in my view He is fallible, imperfect and cannot percieve it with His limited senses. Your sympathy and pity are neither wanted nor needed either. I make my own way through life.

I don’t know- there’s nothing to say that I havn’t been influenced in my opinion on this subject by the way I’ve been braught up- to respect all people unless you feel they have done something that makes them unworthy of it….

-Respect isn’t a “right” M. Goldstein it’s earned. I don’t respect anyone unless they have “earned” it. When I meet you on the street, you’re just another “shyster” as I am a “cracker” or a “goy”.

and that for me includes many women..along with many men……it’s true, many women are stupid- I won’t deny that- but many men are stupid too-

-I agree wholeheartedly M.Goldstein. The mass of Humanity is incurably stupid. They refuse to lift themselves out of the morass of ignorance that they live in. However as a Man I ask myself what is to be done about that? In my view the only way is force. People must be “forced” to be educated in the simplest sense. They must be “forced” to see beyond themselves and their little worlds that they live in.

just as there are both intellegent men and intelligent women- honestly, I’m sorry you’ve had the life you’ve had- for you to end up thinking this way- and I don’t mean that in a spiteful way- I honestly do think it’s a shame.

With all due respect M. Goldstein, once again, your sympathy, pity, and shame aren’t welcome in this debate. I have lived my life as you have lived yours.

.

But if you must, I will direct you to crime- men commit more crime than women-there are more rapists, murderers and pedophiles out there who are male.

-What gender created Law in the first place good Sir? My anwser would be… Men. If the aforementioned gender created said Ideal, then wouldn’t it be focused upon those that created it in the first place? As I have said before, much like Time, Morality is a Fluid concept. What is “Bad” today, is “Good” tomorrow. I dispute Moral Relativisim however. Men have always been criminals, because we are the ones that created “crime” in the first place.-

at least in my country women score higher in humanities subjects (and sometimes biology) than men do, In fact- the top scoring school this year for my state was an all girls school

-Why is that? Are Men given the same chances as women, or is it the same here in the USA, where women are given a free scholarship, while Men are left to pay for it through their labor? Do you not see the Matriarchy yet?

-

men do not fight as much as men- and let’s face it- war is not exactly thier thing, it it?

-Your sarcasm is noted.-

Just try not to be too harsh, okay- the next time you are on the road and it starts to bucket down with rain, what are you going to do? Face it, without your wipers you’d be in trouble, that is, if a woman hadn’t invented them- same with bullet- proof vests- I’m not starting a competition here- I know men have invented WAY more things than women have but you have to admit that those two things are quite clever.

I will treat them, as I have been treated, I will give them the “respect” they have given me M. Goldstein.

Why the personal attacks? This whole site is one big attack on women and men that believe in equal rights alike-of course they will take it personally.

As Feminism has wreaked Havok upon us all M. Goldstein? Equal rights? Do you read your history at all? Men have been attacked for quite a while, our families have been destroyed within the concurence of the law, while you sit and ponder why we’re so angry? I refuse to repute my rights, simply because a woman chooses to refute them herself.

No one who knew the whole picture would say stupid stuff like this- he’s intelligent but he is stupid on an ultimate level because he can’t even work out what to do with his intelligence. In my opinion, life is just one big joke and unfortunately only a few people get it….and then there are those who waste time by hating instead of just living.

As you live so shall you die M. Goldstein. Hatred is a reaction. Take that how you like.

Why, thank you- I’m glad I could find at least one person whose arguments arn’t based on angry nonsense- someone whom I can imagine typing in a relaxed state and not slamming down on the keys like I can imagine most people do when they answer my posts.

You will find that I am more than willing to debate good sir.

-Strength and Honor-
