Women Think Evolution And Eugenics Are the Same
Have you ever heard of a thing called evolution?
Of course you have. You’re a man and all men have heard of pretty much everything having to do with science; just ask your nearest man.
“Have you heard of such and such that has to do with science?”
“Yes. I’m pretty sure I have. Why don’t you tell me a little more about it.”
Mantastic.
Evolution is a process in which crappy organisms — also plants — can become better as a result of getting killed off by saber tooth tigers and dinosaurs and such things. When the process is all over, you have creatures that glow in the dark, fish that change colours with their surroundings, and most impressively, man.
Notice that I said man and not woman. That’s because women have never fucking evolved.
Think about it. When primitive men went out to hunt, if they were too dumb to throw a spear or didn’t know how to hook up a simple VCR, then they got their heads bitten off. This isn’t the same way a women bites a man’s head off (by metaphorically castrating him in front of his friends) this is literally getting your head bitten off.
When men were out getting their heads bitten off, women were home trying to figure out how to fucking sew or some shit. I don’t know. I don’t fucking know what women do with their days in the present day. They have eight hours to kill while you and I are at work. Can you imagine what to do for eight fucking hours if it wasn’t make money? Well I can’t. I sure as shit can’t imagine it with no television or ability to speak.
So there you have it. The herd of women has never been weeded out. Since women didn’t have to evolve, women are still as fucking stupid as they’ve ever been.
Oh but wait. Women have evolved.
That’s right. Through a process of natural selection women have been weeded out for their appearance for millions of years.
Women can vote and horses can’t? You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.

Invention of Spread Spectrum Technology
Hedy Lamarr
Although better known for her Silver Screen exploits, Austrian actress Hedy Lamarr (born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler) also became a pioneer in the field of wireless communications following her emigration to the United States. The international beauty icon, along with co-inventor George Anthiel, developed a “Secret Communications System” to help combat the Nazis in World War II. By manipulating radio frequencies at irregular intervals between transmission and reception, the invention formed an unbreakable code to prevent classified messages from being intercepted by enemy personnel.
Lamarr and Anthiel received a patent in 1941, but the enormous significance of their invention was not realized until decades later. It was first implemented on naval ships during the Cuban Missile Crisis and subsequently emerged in numerous military applications. But most importantly, the “spread spectrum” technology that Lamarr helped to invent would galvanize the digital communications boom, forming the technical backbone that makes cellular phones, fax machines and other wireless operations possible.
As is the case with many of the famous women inventors, Lamarr received very little recognition of her innovative talent at the time, but recently she has been showered with praise for her groundbreaking invention. In 1997, she and George Anthiel were honored with the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) Pioneer Award. And later in the same year, Lamarr became the first female recipient of the BULBIEâ„¢ Gnass Spirit of Achievement Award, a prestigious lifetime accomplishment prize for inventors that is dubbed “The Oscarâ„¢ of Inventing.”
Proving she was much more than just another pretty face, Lamarr shattered stereotypes and earned a place among the 20th century’s most important women inventors. She truly was a visionary whose technological acumen was far ahead of its time.
Evolution: Evolving above men here.
Keep tellin yerself that toots.
Correction: Line 4
“..many [things] many people..”
I wonder how many of the people who commented here are men..
And how many of them know what Eugenics is. Now for my moment of “Shutting the fuck up”..
How does one confuse the two? Actually I was talking to my husband about some Huxley book, and I had to explain to him what Eugenics was; he hadn’t heard of it before. Not knowing something does not make you a lesser person. There are many many people [people being men since women are animals] do not know. I commend these men, however, on their curiosity and pursuit of knowledge. I love how my husband always asks questions when he doesn’t know something. It truly shows he is secure, and striving for improvement, as all people should. It seems women have always had more difficulty with this and keep questions to themselves. Here’s something for you to chew on: Perhaps women know less, because they are afraid to ask questions, because intelligent people like you say women are stupid, thus they fear portraying themselves as such by admitting ignorance.
Personally, I don’t believe this. The roles have switched and now men seem less inclined to admit ignorance. Thanks to the feminist movement, girls are comfortable now with achievement. In fact, boys are in a heap of trouble because they are being left behind academically, and men have stopped going to college. I’d say it’s because boys are discriminated against in our feminized schools, but ask any teacher, male or female, and they’ll tell ya that the fact of the matter is: “No, the boys simply are lazy and insist upon rebellion, even if it jeopardizes their own interests.”
Shame. I hope you all don’t stop evolving.
Oh, allow me to digress! Did you know women will, in the near future, be able to successfully produce sperm and have babies with each other? Wowzers, maybe men will be gone completely! Ahhh! [screams hysterically like a woman]
Oh wait.. I have a vibrator. Never mind, its all good.
As for work, I supported my husband when I was in high school, and I now serve as a computer technician. I am also the primary care giver to our child, and the owner of our home. I hope that you can say the same. You can, can’t you? An evolved human such as yourself should.
Good luck in all your journeys, I hope you find what it is you’re looking for, even if it be in the satisfaction of humiliating others. They will learn from you how ugly and unproductive contempt can be.
Ouch!!!
I find your seemingly-charitable denial of purportedly larger opinions than your own to be quite two-faced!
Don’t even bother, buddy. Arguing with Wolfe is a zero-sum game with a nincopoop.
P Coderch
P.S: He is actually a she, so don’t be surprised if she shows an irrational, mystical side. It is called “suspension of logic”. To chicks like Wolfe, things that science can’t explain can only be the workings of a mystical entity that is above not only logic, facts and empirism, but even coherence.
Why would you devote an entire website to hair?
http://www.hairstylesdesign.com/
Because you’re a woman, that’s why. You can’t resist womanly things, like hairstyles, and shampoo, and complaining on the internet. We’re men, so instead we talk about mantastic things like how awesome you, in particular, aren’t.
He said all he needed to in the article. Your inability to comprehend that speaks volumes.
This site is a piece of shit. Why the hell would you devote a whole site to just putting down females?? Might I add that probably most of it is NOT TRUE?
There is no evidence of life on earth appearing by itself or that something created it. So the whole debate is useless and has been for a long time.
If either side was ever right, the debate would be over and not ongoing.
So, fuck all of you fucking assholes who want to push evolution over religion or vice versa. I’d like to cut you all up with a rusty lawnmower blade.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Is that all you can say DICK?
I fucking hate this website. I` m 10, right. I am looking up Emmy Noether and find this shit. You guys should be ashamed.
A last note about our knack as a species for survival.If we don’t do something
very soon about our selfish destructive habits to the environment due to our stupid addiction to consumerism (myself included), then nature will make sure we get snubbed out.As it happened to the dinosaurs cause they were consuming their environment in an unacceptable speed.
I am not some fanatic ecologist trying to scare people, I’m just making a manly observation.
I’ve done some anthropology research lately, and found that the Neanderthal was around for about 100.000 years, Homo Sapien (us) is around for the last 50.000 years. So as you can see we have not yet outlived those “large armed with prominent foreheads” cave men.Also our brain matter has not increased at all in the last 4000 or 5000 years.It actually is exactly the same as it was when we first evolve.Evolution is a very slow process that takes hundreds of thousands of years for any species to have a major change in their basic characteristics.A few thousand years will not cut it.
let’s see…
Men are the ones responsible for natural selection of women for their appearance. Yet it is the women’s fault that somehow was the main criteria for their evolution?
Women selected men based on criteria involved with survivability, dependability and stability for childrearing. Yet it is kudos to the men for being selected on criteria that women deemed important.
So stupid shallow self-absorbed women managed to choose men based on criteria that would further the race’s survivability but it is their fault for being chosen based on looks?
Hmm, I can’t find a flaw in that logic….
Actually, I believe in evolution
I am not a religious person
And also, i think i know what you would be doing with eight hours off.
this.
And also, women have evolved
The only things that haven’t evolved are your beliefs
What in the fuck are you talking about?
-Dick
she is drawing a conclusion from your article and totally reading it the wrong way or misinterpeting it. :/ I don’t know, She seems crazy though. lol
o’rly? :P
I don’t agree with you on this. Human beings have survived this long because of our brains and also have become the dominant race because of it. The only way I can agree with you is that we were lucky we weren’t around when a huge metor or whatever killed the dinosaurs. But other than that, it has been hundreds of years since then and now and look at us. It is not luck we are alive. We tried to master our domain and we have completed in doing so and now the next frontier is outerspace. I really doubt in hundreds of thousands of years, our survival was just luck.
What in the fuck are you talking about?
-Dick
Not really stimulation, a lot of our evolution was luck pure and simple. Mother nature has almost wiped us out several times, our brains had nothing to do with it.
“When men were out getting their heads bitten off, women were home trying to figure out how to fucking sew or some shit. I don’t know. I don’t fucking know what women do with their days in the present day.”
LOL, that was classic.
But I believe in today’s society women are taking a more active role in finding jobs and other stuff, because seriously what guy wants to support a woman who nags, fights, bitches?… unless she is totally hot. But most smart men won’t.
Now on the point of evolution, they have also evolved. Not just because they were picked out for looks and what not but they also became smarter, more atheletic, and what not. Take for example a skull from a human being almost 3,000-4,000 years ago. They skull is much smaller and the brain weighed around 2 pounds. Now compare that to todays human brains, and you can see (either male or female) that the brain is much larger and bigger. 3-4 pounds atleast.
There were also different kinds of humans that lived amongts men like you and men. Large cavemen people with large foreheads and very big arms that came forward. They went instinct. No one really knows how they died but it just shows that the brain and evolution were a key in the survival of humans.
Best comment this week.

Oh, I see. It’s all so clear now. Those pesky lichens.
Sorry, that post was to Leon Trotsky’s Zombie (?) and his question of what (the fuck) did Buddha do.
Aristotle and Newton led to the physical understanding and manipulation of the world around us.
WTF did Buddha do?
Go read a few books. That question of yours is as senseless as “WTF did Jesus Christ do?”
Throughout the whole span of human history you could only come up with 31 exceptional women? Wow.
sure big al, but there’s dick’s word, and he’s right some of the time, but wrong more often than not…
and then there is the word of authorities who have conducted studies in the field.
manlogic dictates that the word of authority carries more weight.
Dick Masterson managed to offer a major clue as to why women have not been able to gain the same prominence in these fields as men have in five words.
-Big Al
the list below give an account of some of the most prominent women intellectuals over the span of ceuturies and millenia.
the brief accounts given will also offer some major clues as to why women have not been able to gain the same prominence in these fields, as men have.
1. Theano
600 B.C.
Greece-mathematician
Theano was a mathematician. She was one of Pythagoras’s pupils as a young girl. However, she soon became his wife. While they were married they started the first coeducational university. This school was based on equality between the sexes. She took over the school after Pythagoras died in a fire. She and her two daughters ran and taught at the school. However, Theano did more than run the school. She discovered her own rule. This rule is what is not called golden geometry. She worked on a formula to derive the golden rectangle. The information that she gave to mathematics allowed Pascal to make his triangle and Fibanocci to derive his series. Theano is one woman that led the way in mathematics but is not recognized.
2. Aglaonike
5th century B.C.
Greece-astronomer
Aglaonike was a Greek astronomer during the 5th century B.C. She had the ability to accurately predict the times and locations of lunar eclipses. From this knowledge, Aglaonike is considered to be one of the first woman astronomers. Because of her gender, her skills were attributed to sorcery, rather than scientific ability. People of her time thought that she was a witch and could control others with fear and “magic”.
3. Aglodike
Late 4th century B.C.
Greece-physician
During her time women were not allowed to practice medicine. They were thought of as incompetent when it came to science. However, she dressed as a man and practiced medicine. It was common for women to say that they enjoyed having her,(him), for a doctor. It was said that she had more of a caring touch. When on trial for practicing medicine, the women of the town came to defend her. These women actually saved her from being put to death since the judge sided them with her.
4. Hypatia of Alexandria
370 A.D.-430 A.D.
Egypt-philosopher
Hypatia was a noted mathematician and a philosopher. She was not allowed to go to different meetings because they were only for men. However, many people respected her for her knowledge. She was a very beautiful woman and had many men ask for her hand in marriage, but she turned them all down. Although she was respected, she was dragged out of the classroom and killed by a group of men. They brutally stoned and beat her to death.
5. Trotula of Salerno
~ 1097
Salerno-physician
Trotula lived during the 11th century in Salerno, Italy. She was a famous obstetrician/gynecologist about which she wrote several books that were still used hundreds of years later. She is best known for teaching male doctors about the female body and childbirth. She also wrote books about the complications of childbirth, obstetrician/gynecologist about which she wrote several books that were still used hundreds of years later. She is best known for teaching male doctors about the female body and childbirth. She also wrote books about the complications of childbirth and how to overcome them.
6. Hildegard von Bingen
1098-1179
Germany-philosopher
Born in 1098 in Bockelheim, Germany, Hildegard was born the 10th child. She grew up
to become an outstanding scimusician, poet, and her scientific views were
astonishing. She composed hymns and sequences in honor of saints, virgins, and Mary,
and one of her famous pieces is Canticles of Ecstasy. Her poetry writings included:
Ordovirtutem “Play of the virtues”, Liber vitae Meritorum “Book of life’s mertis”,
and Scivias “Know the ways of the lord.” Her scientific views where derieved from the
greek cosmology in 3 different areas: the four elements, their complementary
qualities, and the four humors. Hildegard velieved that sickness upset the delicate
balance of the humors and by eating the right plant or animal, that would help to
regain a healthy body. Hildegard passed in 1179 at the age 81.
7. Jacoba Felicie
13th century A.D.
France-midwife
Women were not allowed to practice medicine in her time, so she was brought to trial for practicing medicine without a license.
8. Sophie Brahe
1556-1643
Sweden-astronomer
Sophie Brahe was a Danish astronomer who lived from 1556 to 1643. Her parents ranked high in society and, therefore, Sophie received the best education growing up. As a self-taught astrologer and alchemist, she was devoted to the studies of horticulture, genealogy, chemistry, botany, and medicine. Most of her specific contributions are not known since she assisted her brother, Tycho, at his observatory. Sophie married Erik Lange, who used up all of her money after they had moved to Germany to escape creditors. Lange died in 1613 and Sophie spent the rest of her life palm reading and helping the poor.
9. Sybilla Masters

10. Emilie de Breteuil
1706-1749
France-scholar
Breteuil was a brilliant child. her father noticed this at the age of only 4 years old. Many tutors were paid to teacher her since education was not a common thing for woman. By the age of ten she read Cicero, did mathematics, and metaphysics. Even more spectacular, by the age of twelve she could speak six languages and translated Aristotle from Greek to Latin. Her greatest achievements are her translations of Newton and Liebniz. She was the first person to translate Newton from Latin to French. Not only did she translated it but she added her own commentary and explanations for his work. She also wrote about Liebniz discoveries and compared them to Newton. In doing this she expressed her ideas on both Newton and Liebniz. Throughout her career she was faced with many gender biased obstacles. These did not stop her though. Finally, although she was busy translating she always had time for her love life. She had many affairs. Especially, a well known one with Voltaire, a philosopher and composer. Bretueil was a woman before her time.
11. Laura Bassi
1711-1778

learning about the death of Archimedes (other mathematician who wanted to be who loved math very much). When she started to study math, her parents discouraged her by taking away her clothes and lights. Sophie was determined to be a mathematician, though she had many faults. Sophie parents finally gave in to letting her accomplish her goals and become a mathematician. Sophie got accepted to Ecole Polytechnique with the help of Professor Joseph-Louis Lagrange. Along with being a mathematician, Sophie was a scientist too. Over the years she became a famous mathematician. In 1829 Sophie was diagnosed with breast cancer and died two years later at age 55.

Scotland/USA-astronomer
Born May 15, 1857 in Dundee, Scotland, Williamina was an extraordinary astronomer,
wife, and mother. In 1877 Williamina wed James Fleming and she and her new husband
immigrated to Boston, MA. In 1879 Williamina,now a single parent, became employed as a maid in the home of Professor Edward Pickering who was the director of the Harvard
Observatory. Williamina’s great astronomical career started when Prof. Pickering
found his male students to be incompetent and decieded Williamina was to take over
the clerical task and mathematical calculations. She devised a system of classifying
stars according to their spectra, which is a distintive pattern produces by each star
when its light is passed through a prism. She discovered 59 nebulae, over 300
variable stars, and 10 novae, which are today classified as the Draper Catalogues of
Stellar Spectra. In 1906 Williamina became the first American women elected to the
Royal Astronomical Society. She went on to publish a total of 222 variable stars
that she discovered in 1907. Williamina never attended college or recieved any type
of training from Prof. Pickering and she died on May 21,1911 at the early age of 54

She received full membership into the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. She was also given many other awards. One of her biggest influences was the American Susan B. Anthony. She did not have any huge discoveries, but her awards out weigh this small fact.
20. Beatrix Potter
1866-1943
USA-mycologist/writer
Beatrix Potter is best known for her many children’s storybooks, such as, “The Tale of Peter Rabbit” or “The Tale of Benjamin Bunny.” These stories have enlightened us for many years. Did you know that besides being a gifted writer and painter, Beatrix was also a scientist?
Beatrix Potter was born July 28, 1866 in London, England. At an early age, Beatrix had an obvious talent for drawing. She made detailed drawings of plants and animals. Her interests in botany, entomology, geology and paleontology were only surpassed by her interest in mycology (the study of fungi). For years, she collected specimens, identified and dissected them, then painted them in minute detail, creating over 300 drawings of mushrooms alone. She even developed theories on mold spores and lichens.
Encouraged by her uncle, Henry Roscoe, Beatrix published her first scientific paper, “On the Germination of the Spores of Agaricineae.” Her paper was presented to the Linnaean Society of London by a man, because in those days women were not allowed to attend the society meetings. Unfortunately, her paper was rejected. The rejection was terribly disappointing to Beatrix, but it propelled her creativity into another direction…writing her wonderful children’s storybooks.
21. Marie Curie
1867-1934
Poland/France-chemist
Marie Curie was born in Warsaw in 1867 she was the daughter of secondary school teacher she received her education in local schools and some scientific training from her father. In 1891 she went to Paris to continue her studies at the Sorbonne where she obtained her license in physics and mathematical sciences. Later she met her soon to be husband Pierre Curie a professor at the school of Physics in 1894 that following year they were married. Her husband and Marie began to work in the same lab together until one day her husband was killed in a tragic accident. After that she began to work in the lab by herself and pursued her discovery and discovered a new element Radium. Marie won several awards. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize for her discovery. In fact, she won two Nobel Prizes and her daughter also won a Nobel Prize for her scientific discoveries. Marie Curie was a very prestigous woman of science.
22. Emily Noether
1882-1935
Germany-mathematician
Emmy Noether was born in Erlangen, South Germany on March 23, 1882. In 1889 she
attended the Stadtischen Hoheren Tochterschule (Municipal School for Higher Education
of Daughters). Emmy had an challenging education life due to the fact that the
University of Erlangen did not accept women into the university. In 1900 she
transfered to Gottingen where she enrolled as a Hospitant (auditor). On July 14,
1903, Emmy took the Reiferprufung which is, an examination entitling the graduate to
enter a university of his choice. On October 24, 1904 she enrolled in the university
of Erlangen matriculating as student #468, women were now being accepted and had the
same rights as men. In 1909 Emmy was granted the second degree given to a women in
mathematics. After World War I, Emmy was offered a position at the University of
Gottingen inwhich she helped 2 collegues define one of Eintein’s theories, but she
was not paid for her work. Three years later, Emmy was offered a salary and began
teaching as a lecturer for the first time. Emmy Noether later taught at Bryn Mawr
College until her death in 1935. Her work was on abstract algebra, which she paid
special attention to rings, groups, and fields. She published over 40 papers
throught her life time.
23. Maria Mayer
1906-1972
Germany/USA-physicist
Mayer was a physicist that worked on the shell structure of the atom. She was the one that determined the shell structure for where the electrons are placed. Her model is one that most teachers use when explaining the stucture of an atom. Mayer put a definition to the phrase ” Magic Number.She also helped out the atomic bomb project with her discovery in the separation of isotopes oif Uranium. One interesting fact about her is that she told her children that the bomb was being made for Hitler and not to kill innocent people. Finally she receved a Nobel prize for her work in physics.
24. Rachel Carson
1907-1964
Pennsylvania, USA-environmentalist
Rachel Carson’s major work has been in making society aware of the affects of DDT to our water supply and our wildlife. She worked for Bureau of Fisheries before she start her main campaign and research. Along with her research she wrote several books that involved her views on DDT. Her best known book is called Silent Spring. This book illustrates the dangers that may come from the use of DDT on crops. After her death, The Environmental Defense Fund was started in her name. This has been the main charge behind the ban of DDT and other pesticides on crops and fields in the United States. She was also named to the Ecology Hall of Fame and to the Top 20 Most Influential Scientists and Thinkers for the Twentieth Century. She was a very bright woman and fought for the environment.
25. Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin
1910-1994
Egypt-chemist
She was the first person to discover the crystalline structure present in insulin, penicillin and vitamin B-12. For this discovery she was awarded a Nobel Prize.
26. Chien-Shiung Wu
1912-1997
China/USA-nuclear physicist
She was an Experimental Nuclear Physicist. Born outside of Shanghai, China in 1912, Chien-Shiung learned the importance of family. Her father opened the region’s first school for girls, and her mother begged parents to stop binding their daughter’s feet and send them to school. Chien-Shiung’s parents did all they could to give their daughter the education she needed. After graduation, Chien-Shiung sailed to the United States to go to graduate school. Once she got her Ph.D., Chien-Shiung became Princeton’s first female professor. She then went to Colombia University and got onto the scientific staff for the Division of War Research where she worked on the Manhattan Project. Chien-Shiung tackled subatomic particles and developed an experiment to investigate their decay. The men leading the investigation received Nobel Prizes for their work, but Chien-Shiung did not. Over the course of her life, Chien-Shiung! received many other awards such as the National Medal of Science in 1975. After retiring from physics in 1981, she continued to lecture in Taiwan and China to encourage women to go into science. Chien-Shiung died in New York City in 1997.
27. Gertrude B. Elion
1918-1999
New York, USA-chemist

28. Rosalind Elsie Franklin
1920-1957
England-molecular biologist
She shared her research with James Watson and Francis Crick who later discovered the structure of DNA and won the Nobel Prize for it. Although this discovery was due in part to her work she never received any of the credit.
29. Jewel Plummer Cobb
1924-present
Illinois, USA-biologist/physiologist
She studied the bodily effects that chemotherapy had on normal, non-cancerous cells.
She also researched the effects that other drugs had on the human body. Cobb is a great women and minority advocate that has helped many discriminated individuals find the funding to attend school. Finally, she is honored with 41 horary doctorates as well as numerous awards.
30. Evelyn Boyd Granville
1924-present
USA-mathematician
She was one of five valedictorians in high school class. Her favortie subject through all of her schooling was math. She went to Yale, where she received her Masters. She was only the second woman in the United States to recieve a Ph.d in mathematics. Her most memorable achievement would be that she worked for IBM on a team that was responsible for the formulation of orbit computations and computer procedures for NASA.
31. Jane Goodall
1934-present
England/Africa-wildlife researcher
Jane Goodall
Jane Goodall was born on April 3, 1934, in London, England. On her second birthday, Jane’ s father bought her a life-like toy chimpanzee named Jubilee. Even now, Jubilee is part of Jane’s life.
Jane’s fascination with animals began at an early age, and she dreamed of going to Africa to study and live with animals. When she was 23 years old, Jane traveled to Kenya to visit a childhood friend. While there, she was introduced to Dr. Louis Leakey, a renowned paleontologist and anthropologist. She studied with Dr. Leaky for a year, and she astounded him with her endless knowledge of animals and their behavior. Dr. Leakey asked Jane to study the chimpanzees of the Gombe Stream Reserve in Africa. Though she had no scientific training in animal study, Dr. Leakey realized that she had an insatiable curiosity about the animal world, a strong determination to find answers, and the necessary patience to await their discovery. She would spend the next 30 years in Gombe learning the ecology of wild chimpanzees.
Jane challenged scientific protocol by giving the chimps names instead of assigning them numbers. She was the first to discover the concept of “tool use” amongst animals, when she witnessed the chimpanzees using straws to pull termites from the nest.
Nowadays, Dr. Goodall spends almost 300 days a year lecturing, teaching and encouraging young people to take informed and compassionate action to improve the environment of all living creatures great and small. You can visit her website at http://www.janegoodall.com to learn more about the mission of the Jane Goodall Institute and what steps you can take to help chimpanzees.
“So there you have it. The herd of women has never been weeded out. Since women didn’t have to evolve, women are still as fucking stupid as they’ve ever been.”
here, you express a wish that there would be no women at all. homosexual implications aside, unless you can find a way to reproduce without women, there would be no men.
if it’s true that women didn’t have to evlove (of course, it isn’t true, your proposition is grossly flawed), and have remained stupid as a consequence, why are they sitting at home, leisurely filing their nails, eating bon bons, going shopping, and yacking with their girlfriends on the phone, while you probably sweat it out in some menial, unsatisfying job to support her habbits.
in this scenerio, she gets all the satisfaction, and you get none.
makes me wonder who the stupid one is..
also makes me wonder about your notion regarding women and evolution - perhaps they didn’t have to evolve, because they were perfect, or at least superior to begin with…
Aristotle and Newton led to the physical understanding and manipulation of the world around us.
WTF did Buddha do?
Thank you Samantha.
Most of us are like that, actually. As I said elsewhere, new female commenters tend to get pretty short shrift until they’ve proven they actually want to talk. Not fair, but it does happen.

I do have another comment for you, Wolfe. You are one of the few men on this site that can actually argue your case very well without being hateful, abusive and insulting like a majority of the other men here. A couple of others here aren’t too bad either: Abaddon ff, and Biff I’ve never seen either of you be too insulting and abusive either.
Kind of you to say; I do think I know a hawk from a handsaw, but I’m not alone. And I don’t want to trash you or give you a hard time. If you are new here (and not a previous poster returning under some guise), then welcome to the site. This site is far more than troglodytic misogyny, believe it or not.
I quote from a post I made earlier: (references to “today” obviously refer to when the post was first made, back in May 2006):
There is wisdom here for those who seek it.

Wolfe, you seem extremely intelligent and incredibly well read. I think she goes a little bit too far also, in characterizing Einstein that way.
np, Samantha, not going to make fun of you for misspelling “not” (the weird quoting troubles were kind of funny though, if you’ll forgive me for saying so).
On the first link “his early teachers were probably correct: they did not view him [Einstein] as particularly bright”
Yeah… that about says it for me.
On the second link,
I’m inclined to agree. The author there also argues that Einstein didn’t treat her very well. Probably true. She may well not have gotten her due. Fair enough. I think she goes too far in characterizing Einstein as “demonic”, and Maric as a martyr.
Your thoughts?
-wolfe
We understand.

Wolfe, I pasted the wrong link, here is another one. This is the one where the author didn’t remain anonymous.

I didn’t intentionally spell “not” wrong, my keys are sticking.
I’m noot trying to argue with you Wolfe, but there was another article written on this subject, and this person didn’t remain anonymous What is your opinion about that?

If Samantha is through quoting herself (and Stupidgirl) because of her “server”, I’ll see if I can comment.
(waits…)
Excellent.
First, the achievements of Newton, Buddha, Aristotle et. al. are significant compared with Einstein. All were towering figures.
Next, Mileva Maric was indeed a genius. She was smarter than the 1000 people around her. Awesome.
Einstein was smarter than the billion people around him.
Billion. Maybe ten or 100 billion.
One thousand.
Do the math.
It’s generally held that one of the reasons that they broke up is that Maric couldn’t comprehend General Relativity.
Special? Sure. That’s straightforward stuff.
You claim she did some of the math? Maybe. In the sense that she double checked the derivations, etc.
But playing with the Lorentz Transforms is what any good high school kid can do. I derived the transform for special relativity when I was 15 in about 20 minutes. Not because I was smart, but because I grasped math. And I’m a man.
The author of that article is wisely anonymous.

I apologize for the double posts… my server messed up!
Stupidgirl, you’re really a man in drag aren’t you? It HAS been said many times througout history that Albert Einstein was the smartest man who ever lived. If the comment that the achievements of Newton, Buddha and Aristotole pale in comparison to Einstein’s achievements is one of the stupidest things you’ve heard in a long time, then you must plug your ears when you talk so you can’t hear yourself. Yeah, you are sorry!
The achievements of Newton, Buddha and Aristotle pale in comparison to Einstein’s achievements? I’m sorry, but that’s probably one of the stupidest things I’ve heard in a long time.

Girls’ shitty SAT and GCSE achievements are nothing compared to those of Aristotle, Buddha, and Newton.
It has been said many times that Albert Einstein is the smartest man who ever lived. I imagine that the achievements of Aristotle, Buddha, and Newton probably pale in comparison to Einstein’s achievements. But did any of you know that at least half of Albert Einstein’s work and theories were done by his genius wife Mileva Einstein Maric? Why, she used to even correct his math problems for him. Now, you men probably think I’m crazy, but here is at least a little proof.

Hey, “Hah, I’m not telling you my name, you stupid idiots”. Name one important female philosopher, and in response, I’ll name ten important male philosophers - probably more.
Name one important female leader, and I will name ten male counterparts - probably more, who probably achieved more than your one important female leader anyway. Name one important female scientist… oh, why do I bother?
I think no further comment is neccessary.
Girls’ shitty SAT and GCSE achievements are nothing compared to those of Aristotle, Buddha, and Newton.
So all that about a salami was supposed to convince me of your superior intelligence?
W00t?!!! Was that an actual attempt at a point?
Drop the salamy sister. If there’s any way to injure one’s self with a salamy, you’re liable to figure it out.
“Of course something like this is always a major disaster for a man because at some point, there’s a good chance you’re going to have to deal with a woman.”
Oh, sorry, I thought that, as men, you were strong enough to deal with anything.
So basically, you’re telling us women are weak and stupid, and then you say you can’t deal with her when she’s working in a shop.
Hahahahahahahahaha.
Hypocrisy at its finest.
