Scientists for years have felt intelligence is found when the brain's not small and svelte and rather large and round For years and years the larger brain from the male of the species led us females to feel pain to think us worms or faeces Man's superior attitude, in his ability to think logically with platitude makes the female shrink Women's strong emotions are seen as twisted and as sick and their family devotions by men, are seen as something slick But here's some information you all need to see as leaders of the nation men, don't do as well as we So here to teach the lesson from warped and twisted minds I don't want to take your blessing but we've left you far behind Scientific wisdom bound a new idea is mooted it's not the size where wit is found it's a brain more convoluted < !signature--> "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- [This message has been edited by Kethry (edited 09-29-2000).] |

I have never thought that men were smarter than women, it's a known fact that most men think with their little head. |

 ahem male voice here. I for one have never felt that women are in any way inferior to men, except maybe when I was five, but back then all girls were, and I quote, "EEEWWWIIIEEE".Different, that we may be, But take a closer look and see Never have I thought less of you And I ask that the same you do. Total equality is the way to go, realy. Interesting poem. Keith Even in the darkest night, someone will be there holding a candle for you. |

on behalf of my gender... HEY! just cause we're better doesn't mean we think we're...superior or something.  for real though, an awesome bit of rhymme here. i dig the last two stanzas. great work, and very well penned. "When you feel like you've had it up to here 'cause you mad enough to scream but you sad enough to tear... that's Rock Bottom." |

Thanks everyone, I believe that men are like women in that some are nice and some are not so nice and some are in a class of their own. But as someone once said "it doesn't make you less of a slave because you have a good master." Kethry |

Ha, this is a great one Kethry. I agree that most men don't use their brain to think anyway. (the notable exceptions of course are all the poets here LOL ) And of course there are good ones and bad ones and bla bla bla. But this is a very cool poem. Sandra |

Bigger brains reallY??? come to think of it I remember hearing that somewhere. Well isn't the brain just part of the over all package. Besides women get maternal instinct and wisdom and us men only get a bigger brain (aka Larger storage space for junk) so in the end I think men are the ones who got the raw deal LOL. LOved the poem, Kethry "an afixiation a fix on anything the line of life the limb of a tree the hands of he and the promise that s/he is blessed among women". Patti Smith |
