So, what happened to cause the skyrocketing of the divorce rates I wonder?

"All seriousness aside, I do think that women are intrinsically more intelligent than men. During childbirth, the reason why doctors hold the infant upside down and smack them on the butt is so the penis falls off the smart ones."
So you didn't think that was offensive though? Please. That was the post Danf was responding to. It seems like it's become an accepted pass-time to call men stupid, even some men do it now. Generalizations ARE stupid though.
It occurs to me now that Dr. Bob didn't step in until someone made a joke about women. So this means that it's ok to take pot shots at men but not at women, Bob?

My opinion is the divorce rate rose when women entered the workforce and had the ability to provide for themselves instead of being dependent on their husband or a family that disapproves of divorce.
One factor of many I suppose. I'm not saying "the little woman" belongs at home. I enjoy working and hated being financially dependent on a man who was abusive. (Disclaimer: Not ALL men are abusive.)
Back to cranial size, I believe they discovered that the T-rex had a tiny brain.
It was a fun test.
