To take it one step further, I think most women aren't qualified emotionally or psychologically to work outside of the home. Well, maybe rudimentary work but not in position of serious decision-making.
Or maybe most women just aren't as smart as the guys. Many seem to have a hard time staying in reality.

Oh no, Captain! Another Misogynist Alert! All hands on deck and ready with the cluebats!
I think that fundies shouldn't be allowed to be a part of the human race. They don't work or play well with others, due to their bigoted, ignorant behavior.
Yeah, there's this brunette girl I know - really cute, but a few properties short of a monopoly board, if you know what I mean. She's ALWAYS wearing this silly white trenchcoat thing, thinks she's a doctor of some kind, and tells me I've got a tenuous grasp on reality. But I still think she'd make a decent housewife - she makes sure I get good care, so things like cooking and raising children should be a cakewalk for her.
Margaret Thatcher and Golda Maier led nations. Indira Gandhi is the only one other than Nehru to lead India for more than a decade. What has Buzzthepug accomplished with his life?
As for smart, the highest IQ ever recorded according to Guinness is a woman (Marilyn Vos Savant) with a value in excess of 200. She's famous for having correctly solved the famous "Monty Hall" problem in her "Ask Marilyn" newspaper column. Numerous mathematics professors (mostly male) declared her wrong and later had to eat crow.
The bottom line is that even if averages indicated that men are smarter/stronger/more qualified than women (which they aren't by any objective measure) that wouldn't mean that every man is automatically smarter/stronger/more qualified than every woman. Like it or not, buzzthepug, there are plenty of women who can kick your ass in anything, including your job.
"Many seem to have a hard time staying in reality."
Here, pal, have some more mirror polish. You seem to have used up the last three bottles.
This freak show claims herself to be a woman?
If you think women are intellectually incapable, maybe you should do the world a favor and stop spouting your opinions in public. It's ungodly, doncha know. And while you're at it, get in the kitchen and stick your head in the oven.
After all, you seem to have never visited reality, let alone been able to stay there.
All you have to do is review history to see what a great job men have done. We're some hot patooties, I'm tellin' ya. We're real gone galoots from the jazz institute. Why, say, them wimmin are just lucky to have us around.
You know, I can't figure these idiots out. One minute they are saying that we women are stupid and incapable of making important decisions. Then in the next minute they say we are all meant to be keepers of the household, and mothers raising a house full of children.
That makes no damned sense. There are few jobs that will tax your heart, brains, and morals like parenting. There are few jobs where your decisions are more powerful or more important than the decisions you make RAISING THE NEXT GENERATION OF HUMAN BEINGS. Likewise, running a household and caring for kids requires many different skills (from physical strength, to time management, to math and various other knowledge). Motherhood is not a job for the weak or stupid or incapable, unless you want to fail at it miserably.
I would like to see these misogynists survive a single day in the life of a mother of, say, four kids. See how much intelligence and stamina it takes, and just how emotionally and psychologically stable you NEED to be to be successful. I would bet my life savings that 99% could not handle the average responsibilities of a mother.
So which is it, fundies? Are we incapable of making decisions and dealing with reality, or are we meant to do the most demanding, important job in the world (raising children to be successful adults)? You can't have it both ways!
Bunch of fundie assholes.
Um, in my college year there were 3 people with 4.0s, two girls and one guy.
I'd say we girls can be pretty smart.
I think Rosalind Franklin, Ada Lovelace, Murasaki Shikibu, Empress Theodora, Grace Hopper, and Boudicca would beg to differ (and that's just for starters).
Buzzthepug, darlin', if you feel yourself incapable of handling the big scary real world, then stay at home. Great. "Know thyself" and all that, huh?
But don't you dare presume you know what I am emotionally or psychologically capable of handling. Every single day, I make serious decisions that affect other people's lives. I'm well aware of the real-life consequences of my actions.
Oh, and "just not as smart"? Fuck you. I personally hold my undergraduate university's all-time record for graduating with the most undergrad credits. I got out in four years, summa cum laude, with the equivalent of two B.A.s (unfortunately they were in the same subject so the school didn't actually *give* me two). And the top 10% of my law school class consisted entirely of women.
Stay in the house, bury your head under a rug, and disconnect your Internet. It'll be best for all of us.
Pix just laid down some epic cluebattery.
All I have to add is:
No matter your gender, buzzthepug, if you honestly have to tell yourself that men are superior to women, you have some serious insecurity issues.
And to follow up on my first post (I wish we could still edit our posts), I'm female with a very high IQ who's spending her summer vacation teaching herself Hebrew and reads almost everything she can get her hands on (and went through a period in my childhood when I was obsessed with all things ancient Greek and/or Egyptian and) and has scored extremely high on standardized tests, so I'll drop the politeness and tell buzzthepug to shove it.
"The fact that more women attend college and have higher average GPAs begs to differ"
How embarrassing, better educated but still paid less...
If you are on FreeCon and you claim to be a woman(which I highly doubt), you can't be very smart or you wouldn't be on FreeCon! PS Three perfect 4.00s at my college, one was a girl, one was a guy, and one was gay guy. The girl got the best job, made the most money, and married an artist. The gay guy got to live in Spain. Oh yeah, and they were three of the MOST LIBERAL people at this Fairly Conservative Southern Liberal Arts college. You wouldn't have even made it in the door judging by your posts.
If it's so, why should they be qualified to take care of the children?, it's a decision making job, in case you're wondering.
Ok, in that case, and taking into account that 85% of teachers are women, and that mothers are the primary caretakers of kids, you'd not be in a decision making position, to begin with.
To take it one step further, I think most fundies aren't qualified emotionally or psychologically to interfere in politics. Well, maybe rudimentary work but not in position of serious decision-making.
Or maybe most fundies just aren't as smart as everyone else. Many seem to have a hard time staying in reality.
"To take it one step further, I think most women aren't qualified emotionally or psychologically to work outside of the home."
Rosie the Riveter ring any bells? If all the women in the munitions factories in WWII weren't 'qualified emotionally or psychologically to work outside of the home', then the USA you know today wouldn't exist. You most probably wouldn't exist, neither. So you & all your misogynist Cuntservative ilk owe them & subsequent generations of women more than you can imagine.

Hillary Clinton being sworn in as Secretary of State. Argument destroyed, much?
"Or maybe most women just aren't as smart as the guys."
See above. I love the smell of destroyed arguments in the morning. Smells like... victory.
"Many seem to have a hard time staying in reality."
You & your Cuntservative, Neocon & Teabagger ilk? Certainly.
The bottom line is that even if averages indicated that men are smarter/stronger/more qualified than women (which they aren't by any objective measure) that wouldn't mean that every man is automatically smarter/stronger/more qualified than every woman.
There are study that found out that using math top. In the top 5% score, men out-number women 2-to-1 (given equal number participating).
And here's the part that most people miss, the BOTTOM 5% also have men out-numbering women.
In short, it is more statistically likely that a genius to be a men, but also more statistically likely that an abject moron is men.
As seen here in buzzthepug!
Wow, what an unbelievable asshole. Posts like this make my blood boil.
Also, Pix gets an internet.
Men stay in reality more than women? I'm probably prejudiced, but I think more men than women are into internet porn, more men play Battlefield, WoW etc, more men are out hunting and fishing.
And what are more women than men doing? Shopping for groceries, fetching kids from kindergarten, cooking, cleaning, washing, ironing, taking the kids to the doctor, staying home with the kids when they're sick, taking care of their old parents, and their husband's old parents, keeping a mental record of birthdays for the whole extended family, making sure the kids have everything they need for school every single day.
Which is more "in reality"; a kid with stomach-flu or a fishing-rod and a cold beer?
The ratio of guys using their parental leave days rises enormously at times of large world championships, strangely enough...
Do not say things like this near one of my karate teachers. She is a professor of mathematics, and could also give you eighteen broken bones in three seconds. I am very nearly certain that she can think, teach, and fight, far better than buzzthepug! can.
(Although, in fairness, her husband is even more deadly than she is - although not as skilled at math. And I am aware that one extreme case does not prove equality, but it should make buzzthepug! reconsider.)
I admit, sometimes I'm guilty of wishing I was on the other side of feminism sometimes. I'd love to have no responsibilities but cleaning the house, cooking, and caring for children. I find working for a living very depressing and wish I didn't have to.
But I realize that wasn't all there was to it. Many poor women had to work to support themselves, and it was mainly the upper class women who had no responsibilities.

Here with US President Barack Obama, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister David Cameron...:

...is German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Or maybe all Cuntservatives like fuckthepug! here just aren't as smart as the rest of us. All seem to have a hard time staying in reality.
PS- A perfect slogan for the above pic would be:
Obama: '...and this is what I'm doing to the Religious Right, Teabagger, Neocunt, inferior subhuman redneck trailer-trash types back home!'
Sarkozy: 'C'est magnifique!'
Merkel: 'Wunderbar!'
Cameron 'Good show, old chap!'
X3 >:D
While it is true that males have larger brains and have a greater range of IQs (meaning for every Einstein, there's a Andy Schafly), women have a higher average IQ than males. Meaning their brains can accomplish more processing power with less physical matter. Meaning, their brains are more efficient. Meaning, stfu, because you have no idea what you're talking about.
@clockworkgirl: just because you are a feminist doesn't mean you can't be a stay at home mom, I wish people would stop thinking that being a stay at home mom is against feminism. Feminism is about women being able to make choices, which includes choosing the role of a traditional housewife if that's what suits them the best. I could never be a traditional housewife, but I don't automatically begrudge anybody who actually wants that.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
