Report Claims Men More Intelligent Than Women

Jeremy Dean writes "In controversial research reported all over the place, Richard Lynn, the emeritus professor of psychology at Ulster University claims that, on average, men are more intelligent than women. Let battle commence! As the research is not yet published there's nothing more to go on than the press reports. The co-author of the study, Dr Irwing, a senior lecturer in organisational psychology at Manchester University, is apologetic about the findings. In the BBC News report he states that the paper will go on to argue that despite their disadvantage in IQ, there is evidence that women utilise their (lesser!) talents better than men. This simply begs the question of what use IQ tests are if they don't predict anything in the real world."

    They can't drive either.

    Women with cell phones have been a menace to the roads for too long now.

    Get off your phone you dumb cunts!

    May my karma burn in Hell!

    maybe he should go back to teaching? Kansas would be the place to start; it intends to give time to the teaching of different theories - like (un)intelligent design ...

    I've lived with women a few times (I'm a gay dude, so only as friends), and I have to say... where does all the toilet paper go?! What can they do with that much of it? I typically go through maybe a roll every couple weeks on my own. When I had a female roommate, we'd use at least a couple rolls a week. Some days, I'd replace the roll, and in the evening I'd come home and my mind would fart at how small it had gotten during the day while I was at school.

    Someone enlighten me?
