Article: Women really are better at almost everything?!

Now, I'm all for gender equality, but to say that women are better at almost everything just makes me so angry. It's not the gender, it's the person.

The article even goes to say that women are better HF managers!

Men > Women

The author just wants to come off as sensitive to women's rights and other bullshit so he can score some easy pussy.

- Bulls make money. Bears make money. Pigs get slaughtered. - The harder you work, the luckier you become. - I believe in the "Golden Rule": the man with the gold rules.

You're just saying you're a dude because you know women don't get any of the respect they don't deserve...

Sorry, you opened the door :)

You can be a dude, but you still need to get the sand out of your inner vagina, and grow a sense of humor.

One thing they didn't account for: self-selection bias. Obviously the women who succeed in their fields account for a smaller (particularly motivated, talented) portion of the overall female population.

I'd love to see his evidence against the times of male racing drivers vs, women racing drivers. Or maybe he's defining the statistic of number of accidents with men vs. women as better drivers. I hope the data in this remembers who is driving when a man/woman go out in a car as a couple, so while there are a similar number of women as men on the road, who gets the accident statistic in a crash?

Also this:D.A.: Men are better at parking, they’re better dieters, they have better distance vision, they read maps better. One study suggests they even treat their friends better. But my next book won’t be about making the case for men. Overall I found that men’s biggest problem is that they’re too confident and women’s biggest problem is that they’re not confident enough. Truth is, I think the evidence is overwhelming in favor of women.

Confidence is probably more important than ability. So many men just go and do something. Lots crash and burn but a good few make it. Look at the rich lists. The women in there? A few select minorities aside, its all inheritance/divorce.

You can find evidence to support just about any argument, it doesnt make it true, and if they really were so much better than men, I don't think this thread would even exist in the first place.

 

^ somewhat true, but this isn't PC Europe. There ARE broad based differences based on biology that in very general terms average out to correct assesments. This is a biochemical reality, and denying the behavioral differences of groups is intellectually dishonest. I'm a HUGE fan of womens' rights, don't get me wrong, but I'm not shitting myself or anyone else to think that men=women. We don't. Next topic.

They are safer drivers, but not better drivers.

Women are lower risk. That is all. If this society values safety over risk, as opposed to seeing them both as necessary, then I WILL jump ship and become a soldier in the foreign legion

Its okay this guy is just a lawyer I wouldn't expect his intelligence to be high enough to distinguish between such nuances.

Also this guy doesn't have a statistics background and he wants to tell me he used studies to proof anything? I dont think so bro, you don't even know what validity of a study means.

Seeing that I havent read his book I have to rely on ad hominem fallacies to devalidate his argument, which is admittedly weak, but hey.

Women lack one key attribute that is vital to work place success.

Reliability and keeping your word. They feel one emotion and talk alot of shit based on that emotion one day. Two days later they feel another emotion forget everything they ever promised and talk alot of other shit based on their current emotion.

This is it right here... sweeping generalization but oh well.

well every male/female debate will always be a sweeping generalization. I mean there are reliable chicks, some of my ex gfs were wonderful stable human beings, but thats the exception rather than the norm.

UFO, do american perceive Europe to be overtly PC?

Because I as a euro always feel americans are crazy PC with your amounts of law suits and so on.

In lots of european countries we still include pictures of ourselfs on CVs and discrimination on the job in regards to age/gender/nationality is the rule rather than the exception.

Also sexist and racist jokes are the norm o0

 

Yeah he's just trying to get on Oprah lol.......

You give me a gift? *BAM* Thank you note! You invite me somewhere? *POW* RSVP! You do me a favor? *WHAM* Favor returned! Do not test my politeness.
 

"Contrary to jokes and one-liners, women are better drivers than men. They’re also better at getting the joke. And better with hammers. And video games. And social networking. And did we mention, they get dressed faster than guys? "

I agree with the social networking aspect, girls have more photos on fb, send more messages, put up more annoying statuses

other than that the quoted statement could not be more wrong

 

Some of the best chefs in the world are men, so I guess women are rapidly running out of career choices.
