Do I Look Fat In This MuuMuu?
I read an interesting article today.
At least, I think it was an interesting article. Certainly, my co-worker SUGGESTED to me that it was an interesting article...
Anyway, I was going to blog about a funny thing one of the contributors to my forum - sooeys.com - posted this morning. His internut name is "idler" and he posted (somewhat inexplicably, I thought - but who knows what perversions drive these outbursts) "Sex = Victory". But then I spotted the above article. A few minutes later, of course, I thought, "Hey, if women are that suggestible - why don't men just tell us (over and over and over) that Sex = Victory?"
Heheh - because men aren't very good at communicating - that's why...
But back to the article (although I really think the whole Sex = Victory sub-entry-idea ties in nicely with the Math = Hard If You're A Girl subterfuge that is apparently going on in our society).
You really only need to read the first paragraph of the article to get the gist of the argument, so here it is:
"Simply overhearing that men have genes that make them better at math is enough to make women stumble on math tests, according to a Canadian study that shows the mind-bending power of genetic information."
Now, I'd say it seems to prove EVEN MORE the mind-bending power of SUGGESTION. But... I'm not a scientist. I'm a woman. A left-handed woman. Cripes, with my genetic make-up, I'm lucky I can even dial a phone. Luckily, my genetics, in turn, make it easier for me to decipher an article about how women can hear something from men and then think it's true because, as everybody knows, men are bigger than women.
Because that's really what this is all about. Size. And even though you may have heard, "Size doesn't matter" - it does. Oh - not THAT kind of size. Not PENIS size. PENIS size doesn't matter. As long as you pack a big wallet, anyway (nudgenudgewinkwink). Yup. Even if you have a really teeny tiny penis and GIVE ME MONEY - just outright, no questions asked, just the money, and lots of it - your teeny tiny penis will suddenly grow ten times in length AND width.
It's true. Give me money and your penis will grow. Not only that, but you'll feel better about yourself. And it won't be just because you'll have a bigger penis. It'll be because you're a better man. A better man for giving a woman money. Men are supposed to give women money. Why? Because women have to work twice as hard as you do to make up for all the powers of suggestion holding her back. YOUR powers of suggestion.
By the way, did you notice the spelling of the last name of one of the psychologists responsible for this study? D-a-r-N-i-m-r-o-d. I mean... I couldn't help but notice... So... Seriously... If the power of suggestion is THAT strong, and you're a psychologist authoring a study about the power of suggestion, and your last name has NIMROD in it... Okay. I know I'm a woman. And, as such, dependent on the kindness of strangers to point out that - not only am I already not as good at math as men, but all they have to do is tell me I'm not as good at math as them, and I suddenly become even worse - but... - NIMROD?!
Geez Louise.
