In one hemisphere we have a five day brainstorming event focused on resolving the downsides of globalization...In the other we have supposed "educated" men that have 'discovered' that men are the more intelligent of the sexes.
Uhhhhhh I think we have a problem here...
OK good stuff first. In Sweden, over 300 big wigs are attending a workshop aimed at tackling globalization with a humanitarian approach. Topics include nation building, democracy, the role of women, global terrorism, poverty and climate change. Big wigs, royalty and politicians are rubbing elbows with artists and musicians at the event entitled "How on Earth can we live together? Exploring Frameworks for Sustainable Global Interdependence". The event is hoping to educate government agencies and multinational corporations of the need for increased social and environmental responsibility on their parts...Wouldn't I love to be a fly on a wall there!
Then as I was reading my daily dose of Bitch PhD I read of bunch of auzie shrinks who apparently have discovered through IQ tests that men are more intelligent than women largely based on brain size...Ahem..."Men have larger brains than women by about 10 per cent and larger brains confer greater brain power," he (Professor Lynn) said. "So men must necessarily be on average more intelligent than women." Wow the sounds like some serious scientific research there...Me big brain 'grunt'...Me smart 'grunt'.... Dear god we have gone back to living in caves! I mean really folks any decently educated individual will tell you how inaccurate the IQ test is. It does not take into account any extenuating factors that effect a persons educational experience (poverty, oppression, sexism etc) not to mention the fact that it is a complete tool of the patriarchy used to justify and inforce a 'superior' form of intelligence. You'd have to be a moron to use it as a guide of intelligence...why would men be proud of rating high on it then? "Yeah! I ranked highest on the most inaccurate intelligence test I must be smart! Go team penis!" YEAH RIGHT!
So at the end of the day what do we have? Truly intelligent people getting together regardless of race, class, or sex to discuss important world issues and a bunch of shrinks with severe inferiority complexes looking for reasons to beat there chest like a bunch of gorillas. Gee...Which camp would you rather go too this summer honey? I think we know which camp Jenn wants to go to...this is a great pic of her damin the man in the t-dot...love yah honey!
