Misleading Article


Let's see how many they get right or wrong:


1. Women Are Too Emotional To Be in Positions of Power
This one is absolutely true. While there is the occasional outlier, the vast majority of women are not geared to be good leaders because they are too emotional. The ones that are the most under control still fall well short of the top 25% of men. 

2. Women Always Want Children
Again, there are some outliers, but this is also very true by and large. Only about 15% of women remain childless into menopause. 

3. Women Are Naturally Better at Nurturing and Caregiving
Again, there are outliers, but this one is also true for the most part. 

4. Women Are Less Intelligent Than Men
This one is the key point. The article mentions only IQ - intelligence quotient. Since there are 9 types of intelligence, we must measure all 9. Women may be roughly equal to men in IQ, but women generally lag way behind men in linguistic intelligence, mathematical intelligence, logic, emotional intelligence, and interpersonal communication. 

Want proof? It can be summed up in one word: "Fine!"

5. Women Dress To Impress Men
This one is funny - because it takes #4 into account. Women dress to impress men in their minds, yet can perfectly articulate that they want to make sure other women do not think less of them because of what they wear. Can you say lack of linguistic, emotional, and interpersonal communication intelligence? 

6. Women Are Bad Drivers
This one is funny because the article falls over itself to try to dance around the fact. Women are worse drivers than men on a mile driven by mile driven basis. Insurance companies have known this and charged for it for over a decade. 

7. Women Are Always in Competition With Each Other
Again, not at all a myth - totally true. Here, we must analyze what women say and what they do. Again, it is a failure of women's emotional intelligence and interpersonal communication. 

8. Women Are Always Looking for a Husband
Clearly this article was written by a woman, because of the continued use of words like "all," "always," and such. Most women are on the lookout for a husband, or some sort of stand-in. 

9. Women Cannot Handle Tough Jobs
  • Bricklayers
  • Heavy machine mechanics
  • Heavy machine operators
  • Auto body repairmen
  • Electrical power line installers
The reverse is true, too. How many men are Kindergarten teachers? 

10. Women Are Only Interested in Fashion and Beauty
Again with the poor wording to try to make a point. When one intentionally mis-words statements to make a point, they wind up making the point opposite of what they want. This should read: "Only women are interested in fashion and beauty." Then, it would be about right.

  1. No. 5 ... women dress to impress women. Compare and contrast the difference in reactions if two women arrive at an event WEARING THE SAME DRESS and two men doing the same.

    One of my friends had to do a 30 mile round trip at a company event because his wife was wearing a dress identical to one worn by another woman and she HAD to change, life as she knew it would cease to exist etc.

    if that happened between men, they'd say "Hey! Great choice and taste in clothes" and they'd have a beer together.

    I rest my case.
