Professor Lynn argued in a letter to The Psychologist this month that the differences between the sexes were explained by a link between IQ and brain size. He said: "Men have larger brains than women by about 10 per cent and larger brains confer greater brain power, so men must necessarily be on average more intelligent than women."
I have to say, Richard Lynn deserves to be written off, especially when studies have shown that bigger brain size doesn't necessarily MEAN better intelligence.
What it MAY mean is that if men have bigger brains, they're probably better at throwing things...
You show me a researcher that isn't biased in some way, small or large, that is human and I will contend that you've actually found a robot. Does the name Freud ring a bell? They've only recently (10-20 years) stopped teaching Freudian theories. If I remember correctly, he had a beef or two with women...
It's true, men do also suffer from unfair media portrayal. I think a lot of people forget this. It's a good point.
You talk of unfair treatment in FL. Are you aware of the notification provision of the Florida Adoption Act? I suggest you look into it:
"The provision applies to a mother who is putting her child up for adoption, and is uncertain of the father's identity or where he lives. It requires her to publish a newspaper ad in order to try to find the father....
"In the ad, the mother must disclose her name, age, height, hair and eye color, race and weight; her child's name, date and place of birth; and - if it is the address that is unknown - the father's name. Moreover, she must also publish her sexual history - a description of every potential father and the dates of their sexual encounters. The ad must run once a week for four weeks in a newspaper in each city or county in which conception might have taken place in the year before the child's birth."

"Many women's groups lie." I don't even know how to react to this. With such a broad, vague statement, what are you trying to achieve? Which women's groups are you LISTENING to? If you've set foot into a honest intelligent women's group discussion about REAL topics (not the superbowl), you'll realize how amazingly foolish your statement is.
I'd like to remind you that of all our populations, women were the LAST to gain the right to vote (LESS than 100 years ago). Although, I will admit that once women obtained this right, it was much easier for them than African Americans to show up at the polls and not be lynched.
Perhaps Seine IS blind to many things negatively affecting the American male culture. But from your post, it's clear that you yourself are blind to what can and does negatively affect American female culture.
Let's trade spots some day so we can both see what it's like to be each other. I'm sure we'd change our minds about many things.
