Like A Fish Needs A Bicycle

A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.
"A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle."
Or, so we are told.
Oh really?
Hmm. Let's see now.
Let us investigate the matter.
It is
men who have produced the greatest works in all of the
arts - literature, poetry, music, paintings, sculptures, films, plays,
architecture etc. ...
It is
men who have progressed most of our understanding in just about all
areas to do with science, engineering and medicine - astronomy,
chemistry, biochemistry, physics, geology, cosmology, mathematics,
economics, geography, climatology, aeronautics, pharmacology, surgery,
computer hardware, software etc etc etc etc ...
It is
men who have built the houses, the bridges, the roads, the railways, the
dams, the factories, the ships, the canals, the monuments, the airports,
the churches, the offices, the tunnels, the engines, the industrial
machinery etc. ...
It is
men mostly who have worked in the factories, the furnaces, the sewers,
the mines etc. ...
It is
men mostly who have, rightly or wrongly, fought the wars, fought the crimes,
fought the elements, fought the odds etc. ...
And it is
men who have invented, discovered and done just about everything that
has ever been invented, discovered and done.
So it seems to me that, while an
individual woman might well need a man as much as a fish needs a bicycle,
women, as a whole, need men as much as fish need water.
In fact, both men and women need men like
a fish needs water.
The whole human race does.
As such, the more that men are disadvantaged,
disorientated, dissuaded, demonised and discriminated against, and, hence,
the more alienated and the more destructive they become, so it is that the
whole human race will pay a heavy price.
And yet for the past decade or so, we have seen various
'scientists' proclaiming hither and thither that men are becoming
redundant, that their presence will soon no longer be required, that
their faulty Y chromosome is going to disappear and that, in essence, they are
merely parasites on women.
But look at the list above.
Would women ever do what men do?
Could women ever do what men do?
Would women even want to do what men do?
I suspect not, for the most part.
And yet one often hears western women proclaiming quite seriously that
they are now independent of men, and that they no longer need them.
The truth, however, is that they are still as dependent on men as they
ever were.
For just about everything.

Women Only
Orange Book Award Is Sexist The country's leading literary award for women novelists is sexist and should be scrapped, a prominent male novelist claimed
yesterday.
Tim Lott said the £30,000 Orange Prize - founded 13 years ago amid claims that women writers fared poorly in awards such as the Booker Prize - was "discriminatory, sexist and perverse".
Did you know that even though women read many more books than men, it is still
the case that the best-selling authors are male?
Yes indeed. Even women prefer male writers.
And who can blame them?
And now I am going to summarise all the books ever written by women.
Chapter 1: Women are victims. Men are ba*stards.
Chapter 2: Women are victims. Men are ba*stards.
Chapter 3: Women are victims. Men are ba*stards.
Final Chapter: Women are victims. Men are ba*stards.
The End.
They say that there are only seven basic plots in the world of human affairs.
And that all stories are simply re-arrangements of these very same plots. Well,
when it comes to female authors, there is usually only one plot.
And we all know what it is.
LOL!
OK. OK. I exaggerate - for effect! And I am sure that there many truly
fantastic female authors out there. In fact, I know there are.
But there are not as many of them as there are men.
And there never will be, no matter how much money sexist organisations like
Orange offer to women to come up with the goodies.
And I can tell you why.
Statistically speaking, men's brains are more various than are those of
women. Their thoughts and their experiences are, therefore, also going to be
more various than are those of women. Their thoughts and their experiences are,
therefore, going to be less commonplace - and, hence, more 'interesting' - than
are those of women.
And, as a result, their books are also going to be more interesting.
Indeed, in much the same way that the variation of genes allowed organisms to
diverge in their structures and their behaviours - thus allowing them to explore
and, thence, to exist inside different ecological environments - the variation
of brains has allowed humans to delve into cognitive arenas that were once
completely unexplored.
And given that the brains of men vary more so than do those of women, it is
men who will more likely enter those cognitive arenas that were once completely
unexplored.
