As Rib Readers know, I’m a collector of creative rationalizations for sexism. My faves are those based on masturbatory Victorian-style logic, arguments blissfully blind to their own gaping holes.
Asshat Kanazawa really rubs one out in the most recent post from his oxymoronic “Scientific Fundamentalist” blog. You can actually smell the sweat forming on his brow as he beats his facts.
I’ll summarize because porn on fast-forward is funny: Women now make as much money as men (so much for that proven 77-cents-to-the-man’s-dollar statistic) yet they are still “unhappy;” therefore, money doesn’t make women happy and wanting unbiased treatment makes them miserable.
But the climax is what makes Asshat Kanazawa a world-class wanker:
It is true that, in all human societies, men largely control all the money, politics, and prestige. They do, because they have to, in order to impress women. Women don’t control these resources, because they don’t have to. What do women control? Men. As I mention in an earlier post, any reasonably attractive young woman exercises as much power over men as the male ruler of the world does over women.
Can’t you just see him, panting away: “….money ….politics ….p-p-prestige …reasonably attractive young women!…….AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!”
Ten bucks says he’s wearing a harness, too.

To complete his logic, the only men *not* controlled by women would be gay men, therefore, he should chose his leaders and mentors from that group and free himself from control by women. Ipso facto, ergo sum. Or something.
You’re so funny. I love your logic. This is great!
