Well I guess we were right JessicaB.... All those merit based arguments fail the IQ test... Men weren't there on merit in the first place.

To those who argue the merit only line ...you see the simple things are always true... Think before you type of what might come back at you... If it is logical and simple to attack your argument then you are probably wrong.

Women are slowly but surely becoming empowered.

When it looks like there is going to be a war... sack the men and put women in charge... They will only go to war as a very last resort because they know someones sons and daughters will be killed. Their empathy will stop them jumping on the lets fight bandwagon.

Look at Georgy (War Hero) Bush and his side kick (Can I be a war hero too) Howard. Neither of them have fought in a war. But in they went boots and all and now look at the mess. Is it women who run the Muslim countries... No so muslim countries will automatically fight back.

If we don't get 50% of women in Parliament soon... they may go on strike... God what would the men do then?...lol

The Professor receives 100% for discrimination, and 0% for logic.

“come mainly from the wrong gene pool”

“While us blokes might not be that smart when it comes to the important things”

“For men politics is typically about themselves”

“blokes really are self-centred”

“Men on the other hand, are more prone to lying about themselves”

“We still have it all over the chicks when it comes to bragging, lifting heavy things and drinking lots of beer”

“whenever it comes to voting unless you’re confident that the male candidate is an absolute star, back the odds and give the tick to the chick and hope she hasn’t felt the need to think like a bloke along the way.”

Such statements are denigration and discrimination of a gender, and sympathies must go to the male students enrolled in Deakin University. But while the Professor has nothing positive to say about the male gender, he still maintains that 50% of Parliament should be made up of members of the male gender.

So there is no logic contained in the Professor’s argument, and he is simply one more University academic carrying out discrimination of the male gender.
