Why is it that Men think all Women are stupid?

I've been wondering about that for a thousandth time already. It seems that a woman had to prove herself to every man she met before he believed that she had any brains. And after she'd shown him her intelligence, he still spent the rest of their time together seeing what he could get away with.

YOUR WORLD is what YOU make of it. If you think men think all women are stupid, you will only ever meet men that think woman are stupid. Nature is attuned to your innermost thoughts and desires, and gives you what you focus on the most. The woman in my life are incredibly intelligent. And it is fun to see what I can get away with, which is nothing, because I always tell the truth. Sincerely and With Appreciation.

hi people. i amfrom turkey. i think women are stupid. their brain capacity is so low and can not be compared to mens. stupidity is not being idiot. this term only describes not being able to make analytical reasoning properly. their brains are small. you women can not be able to reach the level of man in any area. we are superior creatures. in here women try to race with men also, these days. they are tryin to prove that they as smart as men. but, donkey can not run as fast as horse. i love who is gonna be real human being in the period of human life. women are living in an air hole. they do not know their self. they are stupid. the main difference in the brain usage they use right brain and men use left brain predominantly. the human who is able to bring a balance between two brain sides will melt his ego and be a real human being. i can write pages but this will explain my opinions.

Not all men think that and you don't need to prove anything. There have been men who have assumed some things about me based on stupid things like looks, my figure and even hair color and I hink its a lot more fun to let them find out just how wrong they are about me the hard way. Its funny to see the reaction.

i guess we cant say that in general as not all people are the same. if theres really true love then the guy will not look for anything about whats in that girl but just pure love and care, same as the girl. all women have brain though they tend to not overtaken the guy out of guy's pride sake and they rather want the guy t control over matter than the girls just for them to feel that they ares till the man. though right now, it really doesnt matter of who is better what matter is they both understand and love each other and live life peacefully and happy without any pride.

I'm sorry, but I don't feel the same way. I never thought of proving myself to anybody except for my boss. Maybe it just happened that the men that you met have superiority complex that they feel women are brainless. A lot of men I know, on the other hand, are the modern kind of men who knows what he can and he can't do, and believes in the ability of women. I've been exposed to men who asks for women's opinions. They'd also follow women's advises. These men are not egoistic. I think these kind of men are more educated and have encountered a lot of intelligent women in school and in their workplace.

i do not, so please don't generalize, i still see women as highly intelligent if given the proper training and education, as with a men. so i pity you if you haven't meet someone, but i tell there are a lot still out there. many are insecure but definitely there are some appreciative.

Not all men think like that.But a majority of the males of the past think like that because women are not allowed to get educated and they are not allowed to get exposed to the outer world as men could do easily.But time has changed a lot and women enjoy more freedom to learn and earn as well.And they have proved their potential indirectly.

i'm glad that women are allowed to share what we know now but there are still some men who can't seem to accept this idea..

Its not fair to say ALL men think women are stupid. However, those that do feel that way date back to the time where men and women's roles were clearly defined. Men went to school, got jobs, made the money. When women revolted, some men adjusted, and others kept to the pre-historic mind set making life for women more difficult. Over the centeries its gotten better. Women have rights, but some people just... don't change.

When you figure out the answer to that one, please let me know! I have been 'proving' Im not an idiot all of my life, yet there are still men who challenge me. Seems to me, they are the real problem, us women we know the score...

I think that statement is pretty general. For I'm a man and I don't think all women are stupid. As for the getting away part.. haha.. hey that's what that makes life more interesting right? The trial and error process never gets old.. But hey, you don't have to prove yourself so often. Because men and women have a different kind of system running, so even their judging process is different, who knows? perhaps you have been knocking on the wrong door all this while? So just let things be, be yourself and that is enough.

men tend to use logic , women tend to use feeling. because of this , women easyly fooled by her man , just need a litle touch her heart. so we can get what we really want from her. but in other case, i do not supose that they are stupid.

Im 19, and personally I dont think women are stupid. Put it this way, knowbody whether man, woman or child are perfect, we are a mixture of how we are brought up (nurture) and the environment we are brought up in (Nature). I find it stereotyping by what you say, that Men think all women are stupid, that is not true. Men are stereotyped to, whether they be paedo's or boy racers, but I can understand what you mean.These people who this person must know, must be ignorant. There are a select minority that spoil things for both genders and all ages, if you understand what I mean.

I think today men's attitude has changed a lot. Even in countries like India many men find their women intelligent. It is all about the brains. May be in certain matters women may have a little exposure than men.

I for one never thought women to be stupid.Just, what they are.Biological differences and cultural upbringing set out different roles to men and women.They are performing their duties as per their script or roles.men and women are unique.It is not that some have brains and some do not.

this doesn't only tackles who's being smart or no..but most men that i've encountered are trying to fool women for getting something in return..

I think this is because they think that women know only ho to get dressed and be beautiful, they do not know what we are worth, we are richer than them , we have both beauty with brain, mind with body as other say. They underestimate us because they know if we want something we will get it like achievements in the office and in Society too.

All men don't think women are stupid. And I think that any men who does think ALL women are stupid is lacking in the intelligence area. Honestly, I hate these generalizations that constantly come up about how men do this or women do that. They're false stereotypes that are treated as fact and it really rubs me the wrong way because it's not how things are in the least.
