RE: [TruthTalk] CAN WE ELIMINATE WOMEN FROM THIS FORUM

LOL!  I certainly don’t think women are smarter than men, either.  I just think we have “different smarts”.  J I agree with David M’s observation that women have not historically been great scientists or philosophers.  I just don’t agree with his conclusion: that women aren’t smart enough.  Women were smart enough to keep their smarts to themselves to keep from getting burned at the stake or whatever other penalties that might have involved.

I’m terrible at math problems, so I’ve learned how to “guesstimate” pretty well. I think women can get to the same answer by using the opposite hemisphere that men do.  <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">We don’t even know how we do it. Like the gravy on the roast in “The Odd Couple”, “It just comes.”  J Izzy So much for this fantasy that women are inferior.  They are smarter than us and they don't even know why, sometimes.   Depressing  -- John
