Template:Stupidity
Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them is a line of products produced by the corporation David and Goliath. This product line held to the notion that boys are stupid and endorsed violence against them. The products continue to be available for purchase.[1] This clothing line is just a particularly egregious example of a widespread trend. While this may be intended to be humourous, humour does not excuse prejudice.
As is widely recognised today, men are routinely portrayed as stupid in popular culture.[2]
In 2012 it was widely reported that women had passed men in IQ[3][4][5] These claims came from statements made by a well known intelligence researcher from New Zealand, James Flynn. Flynn states unequivocally that he was misquoted and that he was reporting that women had caught up to men in IQ.[6]
