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.

@Female Billy is factually correct. You are missing the point. (He’s incredibly rude as well, but that is his prerogative on this site).

All this diamond crap is irrational. “Oh my the hardest gemstone”. Well, industrial diamonds are just as hard, and will last just as long. I can buy you one for five bucks. What? That won’t satisfy you?

Diamonds are a glorious capitalistic and feminist invention. I’m a man so invention of anything new is good*, especially if capitalism is attached. Diamonds, of course, are problematic since feminism is attached.

Ultimately, they are nominally a way for women to be protected from a bad relationship. In fact, they are nothing of the kind, since they have no reliable resale value. All they are left with is (at least) a sign of a commitment from a man, and that’s precious enough.

And they suffer from being generally extracted by very doubtful regimes with the benefit of semi-slave labor.

I’ll try and blog about my own experience in this area if I can. When I do you can find it at wolfe’s Musings.com

*well actually marketing crap like diamonds isn’t so good, even if a man invented it. I was just channeling Dick there.

And the joke is on you Billy, you see, the thing I find most interesting and ironic about this site is that you and your friends simply love to hate me, yet I am exactly the epitome of the woman who in reality is the opposite of all the women you trash and moan about on this site. I find the irony simply incredulous and it leads me to believe that if a blonde bimbette even paid you 3 seconds worth of attention, you’d be on your knees begging for her hand in marriage without a second thought.

Fembitch you missed the point again.
You’re not worth a costly rock.
It’s all hype. Being the hardest rock don’t make it prettier.

The man point you missed is that you’re not welcome here.
Fuk off bitch.

We here are not.

If a woman expects more than a cubic zerconia that costs $50 but looks like a $2000 rock, she is a materialist who’s soul is fueled from continent slavery.

What a tightarse you are. You can afford more than $50 surely? FYI there is a big difference in how a $50 rock looks and how a nice one looks. If someone offered me a cruddy, plastic gemstone, which is not fit to last 5 mins, let alone a lifetime (diamond is the hardest gemstone in the world), well…

Keep that in mind if you want your next gf to start calling you Constanza. But of course, George never did get married because he was so tight about the wedding invitations.

Ladies, as Seinfeld so aptly showed us, a stingey man = death.

True that, very true. I always hate it when one of my man friends starts moaning and bitching about a woman so I just go bam and he’s left her. He’s depressed, but its her fault for starting something.

Yep, a Saturday night where I go out for a meal and the cinema with my boyfriend as opposed to shacking up with some bumbling, incoherent drunkard with brewers droop. So, I’m going to have to turn down your offer tonight sots… I have better plans.

btw, you all should see Blood Diamond, it is an amazing
movie.

We all know where diamonds come from.

Most of you’re kind still want them.

True. And tonight is a Saturday, where even the most mediocre of tramp can get fucked by a drunk man.

So fuck off the site.

Luka, there are many men to sleep with in college besides professors.

For fuck’s sake educate yourself and fuck off my site.

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.

@ Diamatik- In my experience, women that are shameless enough to do those type of things are shameless enough to discuss it (if not brag about it). I’ve heard about plenty but never of a student sleeping with their professor. I’m sure it happens, but hardly enough to be worth mentioning, and women who do that are nowhere NEAR the majority.

Women always always find an easy way to gain from a situation and sex is the easier way. No one said a majority of the females slept with their professors. You women have serious reading comprehension problems.

@Female: I don’t recall giving any statistics or even suggesting that the majority of female students do such things. I only said that events like those do occur.

Alex’s statement was very annoying because she had this “Oh, I didn’t see it, so I guess it never happens” attitude.

Just imagine if someone said that they’ve been to South Africa a few times and they hadn’t seen a lion, therefore there are in lions in the continent Africa. (For a better mental picture, imagine a woman saying that, because no man is that stupid).
