Me stupid? Bah!

[frualeydis]

There's a lot of people writing books and in magazines, saying that being pregnant makes you stupid. That the hormones affects you ability to think logically an duse your intellect negatively. This is of course used to discriminate against women, by saying that they can't preform as well as men. Well, I am a living proof that this is wrong. Not only have I written a good article for a scientific journal and almost finished a theory-heavy chapter of my dissertation. Today I have managed to make a camicia (after the descriptions, or rather my memory of the descriptions on A Festive Attyre) with french seams without turning the seams the wrong way one single time. Therefore it is proven that pregnancy does not make you stupid!

Well, if pregnancy is supposed to make you dumber, motherhood is supposed to make you smarter. At least if you're a female rat... ;)

Hey, I know! Let's do a research paper on how you're more likely to be stupid if you're male!

There's already a study out there that suggests testosterone kills brain cells...:)

Considering that young men have the highest mortality rate for accidents, that doesn't surprise me one bit. ;)

A shirt without screwing up the french seams once? I'm in awe. :) Damn the man.
