Okay, I thought these were really funny.

(I know, I'm such a hypocrit. These are irrelevant and a little mean.)

*shrug* Well, it may be. And it is. Honestly, I am guilty sometimes of indulging myself in such things. And yet, I must say that if not true, it is somewhat comical considering modern media.

And I realized recently that I may be sexist against women. You know the whole "power of women" thing that's been floating around for the past 150 years or so? And in basic psychology, most people like to oppose common belief when there appears to be a reason to do so. I oppose women (BUT NOT WOMEN'S RIGHTS!) as being completely smart (and furthermore smarter than men, as is suggested) because women are not all that smart. And neither are men. Humankind, as a whole, is completely idiotic. And so, women can't just say they're the smartest automatically, because men get muscle and women get brains. That's just sexist in itself. Men are naturally stronger, and I know that. Women, not having the same hormones, have a different kind of control over their actions, and they have different emotions, including, as I believe, more empathy, because of that. But it can't be said that women are smart in compensation of the fact that they are physically weaker. It's scientifically inaccurate.

Social satire. Good form of comedy, good form of reflection.

LOL
It seems to have hit pretty close to the mark.

You know your right when you incite resignation and denial.

As a biology nerd, the placement's a bit off:
front-thought
top-feeling
middle-hearing
back-seeing
bottom middle - movement
Also, the chocolate center needs to be bigger.

There are some pretty dumb a** girls, I can assure you.
The intelligence thing is a bit more complicated. Men's brains are, believe it or not, bigger (that is, they have more mass). This is because all male organs are typically bigger. The crutch regarding the size, however, is that the connectivity between the 2 lobes isn't as strong. This is why men have "one-track minds"; they can't multi-task as well. Women's brains are, on average, smaller in terms of mass, but the size makes for better connectivity, thus better multi-tasking. This is most likely due to development; men's brains are more focused on a single task, like hunting/gathering, and women's brains are more multi-tasking, for raising the kids. The problem is that gender roles have switched, so the brain has to take on the functions of the other gender's brain. It's possible, obviously, but it's interesting to note.

i beleive that these are true because males are more sexually driven while females are more emotionally driven. Its something I learned in my college psychology class.

On a similar note: Albert Einstein had a very small brain, which made his neurons closer and allowed him to calculate things in his head much faster and more accurately.

xd Ah man, that's funny. Highly inaccurate for me, but funny none-the-less.

I'll tell you one thing right now that's wrong for me. The largest portion of the male brain should definitely be switched with most of the female brain.
