I don't see why football players wear helmets. It's not as if they have something to protect. Women are the only ones capable of intellect, never having sunk to the primitive level at which men exist. It is only natural that males dominate sports — they haven’t the mental capacity to do much else. Women need the intellectual challenge provided by writing and thinking, creative stimulating arts that one can continually improve upon unlike the more simple subjects where once you know a theorem, you know a theorem. From here a woman turns to the social sciences for the challenge while a boy sits there, reusing the same formulas ... a monotony few women would tolerate. Woman has outwitted man. He works so that she can live in luxury off his earnings. At last, something supports evolution: women, power-wielding and wise have overcome ugly, stupid men. Men are animals, enslaved by their desires. Following sex on their lists are Twinkies. Skittles, and cookies and milk. Men are empty-headed chimps with holes in their teeth, libido-on-the-brain, and arms dragging at their sides. of trouble if women would admist their limitations and stop masquerading as ‘'equals. One vivid example of inequality is in sports. Despite repeated attempts to develop interest in women's sports, it's evident that they are unwanted by anyone but the participants. Unlike men's sports, where schools can make money by charging admission, women's sports operate at a loss. Admission must be free even to hope to coax spectators to watch them. Another obvious illustration of man's dominance over women is the business world. Women always complain how underpaid they are but seldom consider that many experts feel that women actually cost companies money because of their numerous and costly mistakes. The marketplace was meant to be controlled by men and women should stick to their predestined role in the home. The shortcomings of women arc also evident in driving. They have no sense of their surroundings and stray from lane to lane, never bothering to yield or merge with the traffic already there. Riding with a woman driver is like playing Russian Roulette — you're never sure you'll escape the adventure intact. Whenever I hear people discussing women's rights. I am struck by how ridiculous the idea of women's equality is. Men arc clearly superior and it would save many people a lot It's clear that men's supremacy in sports, business, and driving is undeniable. Women should realize their faults and appreciate being all owed the excessive amount of recognition already generously bestowed on them.

Men arc pathetic. Each hour is spent dreaming up new ideas of how to prove himself truly masculine, each minute spent dreaming about hourly ideas, each second spent attempting to live out the dreams. That's why men are inferior. They live by their hormones. Men are disgusting. When they aren't dreaming about conquering women, they're busy degrading them cither by getting on the pretty ones or putting down the intelligent ones for being involved in Masculine activities such as thought. One day. all men will be subjugated by a women's republic. Of course, this is a very extreme solution to a very simple problem — that of male social dominance. All women are pretty things to be looked at, or possessions or both. Men never realize the deepness of feeling that women do, nor can they hope to. They understand neither the idea of fundamental human dignity and rights nor that of the beauty of humanity. Men are selfish, possessive beasts and should be caged until they can act in a civilized manner, can feel whole without dominating another human being and can realize that society matters, not just the individual. Comparing man, the far superior half of the human race, to woman results in a great insult to man. Since the beginning of time, man has been the dominant and intelligent of the two sexes. Women simply cannot accomplish the feats men are able to achieve due to their lack of ingenuity and talent. Men have been and always will be the lead • ers of the human race. However unfair it sometimes seems, men were granted an added insight into the affairs of governing and succeeding. Women cannot help the fact that they were born inferior, but they must accept their plight and learn to properly serve the men who make it possible for their survival. Physically, woman are but a step above inv-lids. Without men to shelter and protect them, women surely would have died off by now. The frame of a man was created to accomplish great feats whether in the field of sports or business. Women, on the other hand, were created for the purpose of performing menial tasks. Men shouldn't waste their precious time. Even though women were born inferior to men, they receive such fair treatment from their superiors. The few who feel they deserve equal treatment need only reflect upon their own physical and mental capabilities, then when they marvel at how advanced a man is in comparison, they will understand their short comings.
