Why are jokes denigrating women, especially blondes,so short?
So men can remember them.

<<men can see better than they think>>
Then, if women chose intelligence, men could see what they think.

My mother was so bright I could never join the male chauvinists. Regrettably far too many women use their intellingence only to make some poor male unhappy.

A little mysogynism oozing to the surface there, Bill?

Not by a damsight. A lot of very bright women deliberately choose a man they can control. The only enjoyment they get out of it is the pleasure of tormenting the poor slob.

Or the freedom to be in charge for a change. That enjoyment gets old after awhile, too. But then, don't many intelligent men often choose women they can control as well?

And don't two controling spirits choose each other because they enjoy The Battle of the Sexes?
Gosh, "The War of the Roses" comes to mind.

Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds,
That's why it can be so painful

Indeed Bill (and Bill) - that hits the mark. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come…Edit: some background for scholars like Jackie ;) “Sonnet 116 is about love in its most ideal form. It is praising the glories of lovers who have come to each other freely, and enter into a relationship based on trust and understanding….” http://www.shakespeare-online.com/sonnets/116detail.asp

Nice reference site, mav. I've always had a soft spot for Sonnet 18 (along with most of the rest of humanity): http://www.shakespeare-online.com/sonnets/18detail.aspAppropriate to us lot, because it's all about how words can, as poems, be immortal. Perhaps that's the love that is love and that will not alter when it alteration finds?

Happy to oblige... silly man! Asked for it!
Why do men like clever women? Opposites attract.
Women are more irritable than men, but that's because men are more irritating.
If a man said what he thought he'd be speechless.
If ignorance is bliss, why aren't there more happy men.
By the way, I haven't had a chance to say WELCOME Goat!

All of which only proves that "female intelligence" is an oxymoron.

<<"The war between the sexes is the only one in which both sides regularly sleep with the enemy.">>
Of course, it's the field of battle.
