SKYE BLUE
‘I’ve got two kids, well actually three if you count my husband.’
‘Of course I got what I wanted, there’s nothing he won’t say yes to after I’ve given him some.’
‘He just doesn’t think. He’s so fuckin’ stupid.’
‘A nice rack, pretty smile and a little flattery will get ‘em every time.’
What do all the quotes above have in common? Well, they were all uttered by women who believe (at least to some degree) that men are stupid and easily manipulated by the fairer sex. That notion is
clearly a heaping pile of BS, but its hold on our society is undeniable. TV commercials, sitcoms and movies often depict boys and men as bumbling idiots and love struck fools who are easily controlled by women, and the stupidity of men is a common topic of discussion among women.
Although I try my best to avoid being dragged into such conversations, almost daily some woman I run into wants to go there with me. Usually it’s an unhappy and long suffering wife or a girlfriend ranting about some inconsequential mistake her man has made. What amazes me most about these conversations is how easily the words ‘stupid’, ‘dumb’, ‘oblivious’, etc. are inserted in front of the word ‘man’. After hearing these women go on about the obtuseness of their partners and every other man on the planet I’m always left wondering…
If men are so stupid what does that say about the women who choose to love them?
Just think about that one for a minute. By choosing to love the dim-witted are we:
- Not also brainless? Why else would we want a mindless partner?
- Incapable of maintaining a relationship with someone who is our intellectual equal?
- Controlling and therefore inclined to pick mates who can be maneuvered like puppets on a string?
.
I could go on but you get the point. Any woman who claims that men are stupid while choosing to be with one, is obviously not as clever or together as she thinks, which brings me to my next point.
Ladies, if we’re the smart ones what gives? If men are our mindless and unfortunate counterparts who can be led about by their dicks (and therefore easily pussy whipped) and effortlessly suckered into doing what we women want, shouldn’t we all be living the proverbial dream? I mean, if all it takes is some T & A and a BJ to get any man to oblige your every whim why aren’t we all:
- Madly in love with the man of our dreams
- Able to get said man to gleefully do their fair share of the housework, if not all of it – dare to fuckin’ dream, right?
- Ruling the whole damn world?
.
If men are such easy marks how come we haven’t boned and blown our way into a world where each and every man understands that his sole purpose in life is to make women happy? Why haven’t we taken better advantage of our intellectual superiority and mastered using our ‘ass-ets’ to our benefit? Could it be that men aren’t so stupid and easily manipulated as some of us think?
Now I know everyone gets this intellectually and that when women say things like ‘all men are stupid’ they don’t mean it – at least not consciously. But, as I’ve said before, your words are coloured by your thoughts and perceptions. So if you find yourself harping on the subject of dumber than dumb men often, there’s a good chance that’s exactly what you believe – subconsciously. And IMO that says a whole lot more about you, than the ‘stupid’ man you may be attached to.

Very good points. I think that women who find themselves consistently saying these things have either not thought through what they are saying, or are simply spitting out the typical “all men are______”(insert insulting ending here) sentences that society has taught them are the most socially acceptable way of voicing their frustrations, or of receiving some temporary consolation.
Just as many people say that men don’t know how to communicate their feelings, neither do many women. They know how to “communicate feelings” but just not THEIR feelings. I think what everyone needs to do (both sexes) is stop generalizing and stereotyping everyone into some little box so that they don’t have to put too much brain power into solving their current issues, and actually take the time to figure out the who, what, where, when and why of the situation at hand. And then learn how to effectively communicate their thoughts and feelings with their friends (whom they need advice from) but more so their mate, so they can resolve said before it gets any worse.
