Where as men have always preferred to celebrate talent, intelligence, bravery and skill, women are much more inclined to appreciate the superficial, mediocre and gossip worthy things.
E.G. take music as a point of reference. Popular music is no longer a showcase of genius, with a lineage from Beethoven and Mozart to Miles Davis, John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix, etc. Nowadays, the marketing of music towards the more predictable, and less discerning female audience has led to the shallow and empty music scene we have today; popular music is dominated by attractive people of mediocre talent, many of whom lip sync on stage and lazily employ computer technology to bring their voices into tune.
Women are the reason that as a college student I am forced to cut my hair and shave my face everyday to appease my annoying girlfriend. I have to pretend to care about so many uninteresting topics because they feel the need to constantly run their mouths. Seriously, aside from giving birth what are women good for? No offense but men physically built and intellectually cultivated this great society we live in and I do not think women should have an equal say in what is culturally relevant. They are good for sex, cooking and cleaning but what else can they do better than a man? Nothing. They are terrible at math and science and awful with advanced technology. There is one, yes that’s right one girl in my biomedical engineering class.

Women dont care about greats like Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Mozart or Beethoven. How many women have you met who would even know who Miles Davis is anyway? They care about how “HOT” that bikini girl from American Idol looked, and how they wish they looked like that. Hell, you realise that that bikini girl is now making millions from endorsements, more than any of the american idol winners!!
The key to understanding women is that females are not attracted to male bodies as much as males are attracted to female bodies.The female sexual desire is narcissistic, governed by feelings of self love.
“Really, women’s desire is narcissistic — it is dominated by the yearnings of self-love, by the wish to be the object of erotic admiration and sexual need, more than finding the male body arousing.”- Dr. Merideth Chivers, sexuality reasercher
@ Mrs.Knower I guess you are coming to conclusions before you read the substance in my responses, hence you’re attempting to mock me. Playboy sells millions, playgirl is going bankrupt, I concur.

You’re probabbly just dealing with your homoerotic tendencies. Very, very few men are straight.
Most men have bisexual tendencies so we had to stand on our own 2 feet. Most of them repress it though. Especially the homophobic ones.
…
Also:
Kinsey et al. (1948) reported, in one of their most controversial findings: “it appears that nearly half (46%) of the [male] population engages in both heterosexual and homosexual activities, or reacts to persons of both sexes, in the course of their adult lives [p. 656].” By extension, with heterosexuals (K=O) representing 50% of the population and exclusive homosexuals (K=6) representing 4% of the population, ambisexuality should be considered almost as common as heterosexuality. Extracting from the original Kinsey data, even if we combine the K=1 behaviors with exclusive heterosexual behavior and K=5 with exclusive homosexual behavior, the size of the remaining ambisexual population remains significant. Indeed, these numbers have been challenged.

You blame women for your lack of guts to do what you want, talk about what you want, and wear your hair the way you want.
Because getting your end away was more important to you than feeling like a human being.
Either she was something outstanding, or you’re not. And I think I know which it was, and who and what runs you.

Just because you have not heard or do not like the music produced by great women musicians does not make it shallow or empty, the likes of Carol King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon or the classical composers;
Hildegard von Bingen – Her name remains prominent on the list of medieval composers. She wrote what is considered the first musical drama in history entitled “The Ritual of the Virtues”.
Germaine Tailleferre – One of the foremost French composers of the 20th century
Clara Wieck Schumann – Known as the premier female composer of the Romantic period. Her compositions for the piano and her interpretation of works by other great composers are much appreciated to this day
Vivian Fine – She was a piano prodigy who entered Chicago Musical College when she was merely 5 years old. Considered one of the most celebrated women composers of her time, she wrote over 100 compositions throughout the course of her productive career
Elisabeth-Claude Jacquet de la Guerre – One of the most notable women composers during the Baroque period. She was known as a gifted harpsichordist, improviser and composer.
Francesca Caccini – Nicknamed La Cacchina (The Songbird), Francesca Caccini was a prominent female composer of the Baroque period and the first known female composer to write a full opera. Aside from being a composer, she was also a poet, vocalist and musician.
Then there are the women who themselves advanced technology:
Grace Hopper: She was a computer scientist and a naval officer of the United States. She developed the first compiler for a computer programming language. She pioneered the idea of writing computer programs in a language close to English. She was instrumental in the establishment of testing standards for computer systems and components. She made an excellent naval career while also making valuable contributions to the computer technology.
Ada Lovelace
Ada was the daughter of the famous poet, ‘Lord Byron’. Born on 10th December, 1815 in Britain, she is designated as the ‘first programmer’ of the world. She laid the foundation for the massive world of software and computers. In 1980, the computer programming language “Ada” was named after her. Her works are as follows:
Rachel Zimmerman: At a very young age, she came up with a software that made it possible to use Blissymbols that enable those with severe physical disabilities to communicate. She designed a printer that could translate symbols into the written language.
Rosalind Franklin: She was an English biophysicist and X-ray crystallographer who contributed to understanding the compositions of DNA and viruses. She also contributed to understanding the structures of graphite and coal. Her most noteworthy work is that on the X-ray diffraction images of DNA.
Then you have the women who greatly advanced medicine;
Anita Roberts: She was a molecular biologist who was instrumental in the discovery of the protein TGF-beta. This protein has the potential of playing a dual role of blocking as well as stimulating cancer and it helps in the healing of wounds and fractures
Gertrude B. Elion: She is a notable American biochemist and pharmacologist who received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. She is attributed with the discovery many drugs, the most significant one being the AIDS drug, AZT.
Rosalind Franklin: She was an English biophysicist and X-ray crystallographer who contributed to understanding the compositions of DNA and viruses.
Great women mathematicians;
Amalie Emmy Noether, Born 1882, Amalie was a mathematician who is remembered for her revolutionary work in many fields. Albert Einstein described her as”the most important woman in mathematical history, since the higher education of women began”. Her works include:
•Exhaustive research on abstract algebra and theoretical physics.
•Path-breaking theories in the field of algebra.
•One of the famous theorems of physics ‘Noether’s Theorem’, connecting conservation laws and symmetry was proposed by Noether.
Maria Gaetana Agnesi,She wrote the first book introducing integral and differential calculus.
•She also wrote ‘Instituzioni analitiche ad uso della gioventu italiana’; a master piece regarded as the best extension to Euler’s work.
There are thousands of women who have contributed to the sciences and culture of society, that you do not know anything about them says more about your ignorance and prejudice than anything else. Educate yourself, take a look at the links. Considering many of these women lived at a time when women were barred, discouraged and excluded from higher education and many fields makes their contributions even more remarkable.

My family is made up of women who are pharmacists, chemical engineers and medical doctors. My ex-girlfriend was a Beatles fanatic. I like todays music, and if you think it is shallow and empty then you aren’t looking in the right places. You generalize far too much, and your logic is far from scientific.

Aside from giving birth, it is mostly women who raise the children, educate the children, nurse the sick, take care of the aged and infirm, run the social services, and generally hold society together.
If you ever have a child who needs educating, or if you ever get sick and need looking after, or if you end up in an old people’s home, chance are it will be a woman who does these things for you. So I advise you to keep a civil tongue in your head.
There is more to society than technology. Women have often been at the forefront when it comes to reforming medical care, social services etc. Look at Florence Nightingale for example, or Elizabeth Fry or Dorothea Dix or Clara Barton or Jane Addams.
You might consider women’s role in society as unimportant, but the fact is that societies that have a shortage of women start to fall apart. This happened in the early American colonies, and in the Wild
west. In both cases, strenuous efforts were made to attract more female settlers.
May I ask, do you have the same contempt for all women that you know? Do you feel that way about you rmother for example, that the only good thing she ever did for you was giving birth?
And if your girlfriend annoys you, why bother having a girlfriend? If all you want a woman for is sex, then why not just go to a prostitute?

Sounds like you’re dating women slightly below your intellectual level. I think a lot of women are good at most of the same things men are but never have the opportunity to go in to the sciences or engineering due to social biases against these women doing so.

I guess you’re either too young to remember or have a selective memory but I can tell you that popular music has always had those who complained that it appealed to the lowest common denominator. Those artists you mentioned are considered “legends” now because they have been dead for years but in their day, there were those who dismissed them and thought they were terrible musicians. I’m old enough to remember when Jimi Hendrix was alive. I can tell you that there were many people who were hugely offended by his rendition of the “Star Spangled Banner” at Woodstock in 1969. For every person who thought he was a great guitarist, there were those who thought he he was loud, repetitive, and used gimmicks to cover up his lack of playing ability.
