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.
