You seem to be using your disdain for men to excuse your hatred of various other groups. Your most recent post before this one implied that you think Asians are viruses and Native Americans are savages.

Don't hide your racism behind a dislike of men.

And yeah, black people (you say you are black) can be racists. Internalized racism is a thing. Same as internalized misogyny or internalized homophobia.

You may be black, but you sound like a neo-nazi. What's next - Jews are money-grubbing rats because you dislike men?

Neo-nazis write extensively about how Jews are dangerous and despicable because they think Jews have a higher native intelligence than standard white people. You know what that means? It means, "We're stupid and they're smarter so they're evil since people who are smarter are dangerous." Stop with that shit.

When you get into a rant about how logic is white male supremacy, you sound just like those "queer" people who say math needs to be more "queer." It's insanity. Logic and math are formal systems for understanding things better. Rejecting them as sexism is undermining women and is horrifically sexist. You're saying we women are too damn stupid to delve into understanding the world around us.

That, if we utilize these tools for usefully interpreting the world, we are betraying ourselves.

Do you really think men invented logic and, as an extension of that, math? Because I'm pretty sure we'd be further along the path of logic and math if women had been allowed to publicly engage in them, and that many men who are recorded in history as having furthered those endeavors were helped a lot by the observations of women in their lives.

I am not a simpering little idiot placating men just because I have a talent for formal logic and advanced mathematics. Women seeming to be worse at those things is purely a product of us not being allowed to engage in them for much of history, and the sexism that currently tells girls they'll be bad at these beautiful human endeavors.

You clearly have not even the faintest clue of how truly beautiful math - a system of logic which allows for creativity, and in fact insists on it once you've gotten past algorithms - can be. If you are gifted at it, it is like hearing the song of the universe.

Should music be thrown aside because the famous musicians have historically been men? Art? Everything that makes us human should be shat upon just because men stole the limelight from women when we were as good at is as they are and they forced us to pretend we weren't also the sources of such beautiful things?

You're saying we're too fucking stupid to be mathematicians or scientists.

How dare you.

I didn't want to comment on the posts of this racist troll, but I have to say I really enjoyed reading your comment. Have you written anything else about maths being the song of the universe?

excuse your hatred of various other groups

Sometimes it's useful to critique men by race and ethnicity. That's all that's going on there. That's not racist.

Internalized racism is a thing.

Girl, I'm cool. Facts don't bother me.

You're saying we women are too damn stupid to delve into understanding the world around us.

No, I'm not. I'm just saying white men are intellectually gifted. This is a fact: IQ by race and IQ by gender. I'm not pulling it out of thin air. Even with this major push for diversity, white men still dominate every intellectual industry. These results speak for themselves.

It doesn't mean anything about our individual capabilities. These are just averages.

Neo-nazis write extensively about how Jews are dangerous and despicable because they think Jews have a higher native intelligence than standard white people.

That kind of proves my point even more. Men tend to project their own negative traits onto others. Men obsessed with rapist tend to rape. Men obsessed with pedos tend to be pedos. Likewise, white men are clearly aware that their investment into developing their mental capabilities has given them a unique advantage above all other groups of people and so are threatened by those who develop equally or superior mental capabilities.

IQ is totally biased towards certain levels and kinds of education. Everyone knows this. A lot of tests are. How are you going to fare in a MoCa test if you have no reason to know what a rhino is?

Well, we all know intelligence is correlated with curiosity. If they never felt any need to know what a rhino is then maybe that in and of itself is proof of their lack of intelligence...

If they never had the education or opportunity to look in a book, as many working class people in disadvantaged societies do, they could hardly be blamed for lacking curiosity about something that had no impact on their lives.

This is the same kind of thinking that 50s white researchers used to claim black people didn't value education - because they only got points for wanting their kids to go to grad school, when people from disadvantaged communities who've never been to college don't even know that there is such a thing as grad school. Did they want their kids to go to college? Hell yes they did. But the research was weighted towards people of privilege from the start.
