women and the supernatural

It must be true that women are closer to God, because they're always talking to him and receiving messages from him.

Nearly every woman I've ever known, no matter how brilliant in other fields, is an imbecile when it comes to superstition and religion. Every one of them has been blessed with the gift of prophecy, the ability to chat with dead spirits, and full knowledge of their exciting identities in previous lives. Almost all of them believe in astrology, a system so patently stupid it offends the sensibilities of the lowest ocean-floor-scuttling crustaceans. The ladies might not know how to change a spark plug or check their e-mail, but goddamnit if Ramtha isn't calling them on their cell phones every fifteen minutes.

And I'm sure they've been this way for a hundred thousand years. While the boys were out there clearing rocks and killing mastodons, the gals were stuck inside their caves, stuck inside their daffy heads, spinning implausible cavewoman fantasies all the livelong day.

And this, fair damsels, is the reason you're "oppressed." It's the same reason that Third World countries are "oppressed"...because they're dumb and superstitious and have...at best...on a sunny day...a meager grip on how things work.

When was the last time a woman invented anything besides imaginary illnesses and false rape charges?
