Women are already working hard. In this modern day, across many cultures, women are expected to work full time and be successful and advance in their career, while raising children and looking after the household chores. Unfortunately, many men are just working full time and then looking after their own hobbies. I remember reading one report on research that concluded that women do an extra month or more labour per year than what men do.
Here is some reading if interested. http://www.helsinki.fi/science/xantippa/wee/weetext/wee224.html

I second that. That's why *us* women should work extra hard to prove our existence.

Just because women are interested in different subjects that don't pay as much money and aren't considered as rigorous (e.g. Engineering etc.) doesn't mean that women are less intelligent.

This is a completely ignorant statement. Yeah, the WHITE PEOPLE don't want Iran to have nukes. Have you considered that maybe Iran would love to blow Israel or the US off the face of the earth if they did obtain nukes? How about the fact that Iran could use oil as a weapon against the West - so maybe money is the reason they would want to act against Iran (which is not a good reason.) WHITE skin colour has nothing to do with it.
If you are really interested in whether men are smarter than women you could read up on some studies. I quickly dug up one news article reporting on a study (which is not like reading the study yourself, of course!) 'Men cleverer than women' claim - From BBC -

Well the study has a point. Now Kanelli take for example Canada. The sex ratio (male to female students) is low in Canadian universities. The uni I study has 10 times more women than men (yeah yeah I am enjoyin :D ) but all the degrees which are tedious and hardcore have high male students eventhough the opportunity is the same.
Hiya
just to let u know this subject is very close to my heart so i wanted to share
my thoughts with u and know what u think about em....
are men smarter than women? tough question isnt?
but after all in reality males have been dominating women in every aspects of life and all great scientists have been men i mean we could not find a women
that could be compared to Albert Einstein or noten not even close..and
right now if u look at top 50 scientists in the world u will find few women
that come at the end of the list.. and nowadays men have been dominating nearly everything (medicine,air space etc..) why?
"one top prof at cambridge university once said that women are just as smart as men but they are not creative they cannot apply what they
konw to life and only males can do that.." ( well sounds weak isnt it)
Now other people argue that men and women have the same ability
to be smart and creative but the reason that we do not see women
competing with men comes from what they refer to as "Masculine Hegemony"
it means that in our society men have the power to contol women (it can
be political or even military power) so they claim that men really are preventing women from being competitve, women can do as well as men
but men are holding them from doing that..( i tend to lean to this)
i mean why do not campare men to men,, it obvious that all great scientists
have been white (westrens) why do not we see for example an arab man
competing with west (very rare).. does that mean that eastern men are not
smart or creative i dont think so.. i think again this is because of the domaince of the "white elite" they do not want us to be like them they r
holding us back just as men holding women...and if u take a recent issue
which is the issue of Iran the white do not want iran to grow they see it
as a danger now iran is having nuclear power then they will be advanced
and they might reach western in some time.. so that is why the white is
making up all these excuses of iran being terrorists and a danger to the whole world they say they r gonna kill women childern...telln the world plz hold them back (exactly!)
Final saying:
So we are not really stupid rather we r not powerfull enough to defeat
westrens' dominance and that really what is holing us from being as
advanced as they are.
sorry this might be too much but i am really interested in this so excuse me.
Waiting for ur thoughts.

I thought this was a good post until all the rubbish about 'west' or 'whites' vs arabs - what's up with that?
With the whole Iran thing, have you ever stopped to think that maybe the guy in power is a complete looney? Who is completely anti-west, anti-Israel and the thought of him having nuclear capabilities is a very frightening prospect?
Women are just as smart as men, we just let the guys think they're better to massage their egos.

The West owes itas current prosperity to NON-WHITE cultures.
Arabs invented modern astronomy, astrology, mathematics (algebra), basis for modern medicine, and the list is endless.
The west learnt of perfumes from the Arabs and the Indians.
The west learnt of the existance of gunpowder from the Chinese and ran into another version from the Arabs.
The West should get off its high horse and realize that it is nothing if not for its domineering conquests of the East. Conquests that continue to this day.

not to jack this thread but do you know what frequency in the KA band is used here? I don't believe there are and X, K or Laser traps/cameras here are there?

Yes Arnie, I wanted to assert :wink:

Dont't know if this help Fayz, but i think the camera's on SZR are Gatso's.
I will see what i can find here, we are well into laser dectection in the UK.

the less people that have nukes the better.... but wouldn't it make an awsome suicide bomb. you wouldn't strap the bomb to you, you'd be strapped to it., how would you get it onto a bus tho, or thru a restaurant door? :twisted:
GoodBai
Yeah, but have you ever watched a woman try to do something as simple as reverse park a car in a slot that could house a jumbo jet?....... Stands back and awaits the avalanache of abuse :wink:
Look girls, it's just a joke... most of my best and most intelligent friends in the whole world are women and they've just ordered me to write that on pain of my nuts being put into the nearest vice :shock: !

Men and women are different - I've recently been reading a good book that explains the differences, backed up by scans of the brains as well as other studies.
It doesn't say men are better, just explains why men and women are different..
For example, women can multi-task, men can't. One example is that if I'm watching television and the phone rings, I put the volume down ask everyone to be quiet and then talk on the phone. This is very strange to women who can easily watch telly, keep an eye on the kids, have 3! different topics of conversation on the phone with her female friends and still see the man picking his nose or whatever!!
Women have less spatial awareness than men though and think it a good idea to have maps that are printed 'upside down'. Men think this is a stupid idea as they can all visualise going from the top to the bottom of a map - women tend to need the map facing the direction they are going..
Anyway, the book is :
"Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps: How We're Different and What to Do About It "
By Allan Pease and Barbara Pease
BTW - my wife refuses to read the book!! :)
Cheers,
Shafique
MaaaD
also you gotta appreciate that every genius/inventor there was a mum that raised him and/or a wife that supported him. Women just work behind the scenes ;)
Chocoholic
And so the saying 'Behind every man, there's a good woman!'
The books being talked about are very interesting. There are also interesting tests you can do, which determine whether you have a male/female or balanced brain. Yes, some men actually have more female brains and vise versa.
As for the parking thing, OK tell that to the MAN I saw take up 3 entire parking spaces for his BMW because he was so crap, he thought one wasn't big enough - Oh how I laughed!!!!

my friend has a beamer 6-series and he does it on purpose so that no one would ding his car hahaha
