Marge Simpson: Women are as smart as men. Why, a woman invented Liquid Paper. Homer Simpson: Well, you know what a man invented? Actual paper! Marge: Well a woman also invented the windshield wiper. Homer: Which goes great with another male invention: the car! [high-fives Bart] Marge: Ummm, I think a woman came up with nylon stockings. I mean, probably. We certainly use them. Homer: Let’s see, men also have: rocket ships, suspnsion bridges, constitutional government, snowshoes, brass knuckles… Marge: [groan] Homer: …pinball machines, the Renaissance… [cut to Homer, lying on couch alone at night] Homer: Oh, why did women invent sleeping on the couch? ---

This is not a debate, great or otherwise, and I have no intention of inflicting this on the **IMHO** Mods. **Minotaurus** , if you would like to initiate a serious discussion on the topic, go out and find some information _that you can substantiate_, apply some serious logic, and start a new thread in a more serious mien (probably in **IMHO** ). This thread is closed. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ok-who-is-best-men-or-women/357773.md?page=1)
