The Pregnant Brain

I mentioned at some point in the not so distant man-past that a woman’s brain works better while it’s being consumed by venereal disease. That was only half true though. It turns out that women’s brains also work much better while they’re pregnant!

Again we see that good old Napoleon had women pegged from the get go.

“Women are only meant for making babies.” -Napoleon

And now science supports that claim. It’s like when you read about ancient astronomers who figured out the distance from the Earth to the moon using only telescopes and their wits. That’s Napoleon and sociology. He was a prophet.

There’s an article all about women and their baby making that I’m posting on the bottom of this page. It confirms exactly what all of us men know. Women’s brains are as useless as a urinal on a boat. However, it poses an interesting theory: women are slightly less dumber than dirt when pregnant.

Interesting. I said. Then I read more.

Pregnancy increases the size of certain neuron areas in women’s brains.

In other words, pregnancy makes a woman’s brain bigger — more like a man’s brain. And that makes it better. Big fucking surprise.

Using the brain to rear a child stimulates brain growth.

How about that. Actually using the brain — something that a man does every day while amusing his friends and co-workers and while keeping the entire fucking world from careening off into hell — makes the brain better. The brain is like an out-board motor then. You leave in it the shed or on the couch bullshitting with its squawk-happy friends all day at it turns into a rusted piece of shit.

Perhaps women will knock off that “all men are children” horseshit now that it’s finally official: dealing with children makes you smarter.

Virgin female rats took five times longer than mother rats to find hidden food.

Well that’s obviously true. I’ve never known a virgin who could do anything worth a damn.

I guess we now know what port-partum depression really is. It’s nature taking off a woman’s brainum blindfold and forcing her to see the world through manlier eyes for the first time. That’s why they turn into emotional disasters. It would be like a man waking up and realizing that at some point he had been wrong.

    Thats explains a lot. My ex-wife was rather sane and happy untill she gave birth… she hasn’t been happy or sane since. She used to blame her misery on me, but considering I haven’t initiated any contact with her in years she still feels the need to bother me once in awhile with irational hate.

    I told her that if I was at fault, she should be very happy and in wonderland now that she has left me and became a lesbian in the perfect world of all things female and that comment sent her into a lunatic rage..

    I now understand that the brief moment of reality she experienced after child birth, was too much for her mind and it made her insane.

    Womens brains actually shrink during pregnancy. They also become very forgetful, I should know as I am a doctor. You and your ’supporters’ are a dying breed so cry all you like about women leaving you for other women (Devek) or being extremely stupid as more and more women are entering the workplace.

    Rather than feeling enraged, every woman and normal bloke I have shown this to scoff at the absurdity. You are a disgusting excuse for a human being, albeit one that is being eradicated as our species evolves.

    Not all of us are gutless whimps, led by the nose by women whose only consideration is how much they can screw you for in the law courts. Laugh all you like as sooner or later you will have to demonstrate that you have balls or if your just another mangina appear to be that filling this planet.
    Whimpy males incapable of conscious thought, seeking permission from the opposite sex just to take a pee.

    But I would say that we have another female pretending to be male, again.
    This is becoming so boring.

    Robert said: “Rather than feeling enraged, every woman and normal bloke I have shown this to scoff at the absurdity. You are a disgusting excuse for a human being, albeit one that is being eradicated as our species evolves.”

    What qualifies as a “normal bloke?” Those who think and act like you? Are you then the epitome of normalcy that you are able judge who is normal and who is not. Are you then the standard by which all must adhere to in order to be classified as “normal?â€? If that is your claim then what arrogance you have; and if arrogant then blind to other opinions and if blind then ignorant of other possibilities. Thus by your standard all “normalâ€? people are ignorant and we here then are not normal as no man here is ignorant, neither are Arielle and Grump. If this is not what you are saying and you are not the epitome of normalcy, then you are not equipped to judge who is normal and who is not. Thus your statement is flawed and your opinion of no consequence. Please leave.

    Now this is somewhat curious. You are a doctor (a physician I presume), and yet you cite as your second authority “every woman and normal bloke”. Moreover, you do not comment whatsoever on Kinsley and Lambert’s research, and, you bring in the idea of “enraged”. A curious position for a rational physician.

    You and your ’supporters’ are a dying breed so cry all you like about women leaving you for other women (Devek) or being extremely stupid as more and more women are entering the workplace. …

    Yeah, I’m going to have to call BS on this one. You may be a PhD in say english lit (might want to go brush up on your skills) but an MD you are not. See a real MD might mention things like chemical shifts between phosphocreatine and phosphate resonances. Ot how pharmacological changes in pH (increased alkalosis) observed during pregnancy may cause a change in brain size. But then (of course) this begs the question as to why. I happen to think it is a function of increased cellular metabolism which tends to back up Mr. Masterson’s argument. You? Pray, what might be your take on it?

    There was a good article in “American Society of Neuroradiology.” One of your “colleagues” should have one laying around the office.

    hahahahaha what a crock. i have studied neurolinguistics and the assumption that men are smarter because they have bigger brains was debunked in the 19th century. also, i have heard/read that women’s brains actually get smaller while pregnant. i have no idea why, and don’t really believe that, EITHER, but it could have something to do with blood supply.

    women are generally over-tired and over-worked as a result of balancing family and career. when people are tired they sometimes make mistakes in the thinking department. just be greatful women even want to carry on the human species when misogynistic men are writing filth like this.

  10. Chantal the Feminist Says:

    oh good, i just read robert’s statement and that backs up my statement on the shrinking brain. i still am doubtful until i see a few articles from the AMA.

    Maybe if you primates would pick a lifestyle instead of trying to be mother/career/slut you might not have errors?

    But being estrogen infected and avarice go hand in hand.

  12. Chantal the Feminist Says:

    what does picking a lifestyle have to do with anything? men are confronted with what they want to do with their life, too. men are sluts, as well, don’t play that played out card. picking a “lifestyle” has nothing to do with “errors.” you’re not being particularly clear.

    estrogen infected? so now you are putting women down because of a particular hormone they possess? a hormone that helped give you life? also, men carry estrogen in their bodies, too. some more than others. men who are fat, for example, harbor a lot of estrogen.

    So you studied neurolinguistics. That’s cute. I once read a book about NASA. That must mean I studied rocket science.

    Men aren’t smarter because they have bigger brains. In fact women usually have a more active Wernicke area as determined by PET scan and are more prone to receptive aphasia. But you know all about neurolinguistics so I’m just preachin’ to the choir here.

    Regardless of who is smarter than who is debatable. What can be measured is results. Again we are back to which gender does all the work and made all these nifty advancements that got us out of caves a way back a when.

    ..
    “it could have something to do with blood supply.”

    Now that is the type of intellectual curiosity that will advance the science. Amazing that women don’t contribute more to… well… anything.

    so, people who have studied and read information have to actually occupy that profession to know anything? if you didn’t notice, i was simply trying to remember what i have learned and read over the course of my studies, and hoped someone else could say something. i cannot remember everything i have ever read or learned. maybe you can.

    You’re quite correct here. Women do not belong in the workplace. By venturin out into the workplace they have now screwed up the equilibrium of the modern world. Instead of staying at home with the kids and trying their best to not do a shitty job rearing them, they have elected to enter the workforce and have managed to turn the the world of business and family life into one big cluster-fuck.

    So now, instead of doing one job (i.e. parenting) substandardly, they have now been able to fuck-up the family, the economy (constantly fucking-up in the office), the legal system (’career’ women’s frivolous claims and litigation with respect to sexual harassment, industrial & labour law, and their relentless pursuits to damage their ex-husbands in family court), and society (women’s slutty behaviour thanks to women’s lib, and the degredation of family values due to women leaving the children largely unsupervised so that they can masquerade as ‘career women’).

    No, I did not notice that you were simply trying to remember what you learned (and retaining so much) and read over the course of your studies.

    What I did get was some twit using the moniker “xxx the feminist” passing yourself off as a learned expert in the field of neuro-something or other. If you are not the expert then why bring up some class you sat through while thinking of how soft kittens are?

    With your point of view firmly established and a nifty little ethos in hand you then tried to refute the argument du jur. And doing a piss poor job of it.

    You don’t know why women’s brains get smaller when pregnant? Perhaps if you would read what someone else said on the very topic.

    Or you could just admit you don’t know what the f$%^ you’re talking about and go away as Dick has asked.

    Or you can stick around and run into problems with cognitive dissonance.
