#2 I would say that Captain (America) and the retired professor, Richard Lynn, are going to be human lighting rods.

#3 Richard Lynn, emeritus professor of psychology

So, does that make him more or less credible than your garden-variety witch doctor? "Emeritus" means that he's retired, and "psychology" means he isn't a real scientist - he's a social scientist. I suppose I ought to be glad that he isn't a professor emeritus of sociology. Those rank just below "fishwife" on the Scientific Expert Scale o' Credibility.

#8 Anyone who has worked with programmers know this is true, but women compensate by being better at cooperative tasks. If you want a one person star then get a man, but if you need a team, then hire women.

Here is his bio.

#10 If men are so much more clever, how come most societies expect them to do the heavy work, support a family, and take out the garbage?

Oh, come on now! Where are they going to find 50 million pound women? [There, I'll leave that straight line just lying there.]

Actually, in a lot of societies, women are expected to do that work, while the men sit around and rest themselves in case the village is attacked by...mammoths. Yeah, that's it.

#13 Some how I don't equate "clever" with intelligence. Weasels and monkeys are clever, they are not however intelligent.

All my Wife expects of me is to love her and defend her with my life if necessary. I do the other stuff I do because I want to not because she makes me or expects it, She doesn't.

Cooperative tasks, like accompanying one another to the lady's room.

#18 I've known a couple of women that probably had more prostate problems than men.

#19 I've seen reports on this as saying that the male IQ distribution has a greater standard deviation. There are more males at the high end and at the low end.
After all, more men and women get Darwin Awards.
