The Male Idiocy Survey

1. a taboo term that deliberately insults somebody's intelligence (taboo insult)
2. an offensive term in a now disused classification system for somebody with an IQ of about 25 or under and a mental age of less than three years (dated)

Clearly you are not using the second definition, as I am a man, and my IQ is in the 140 range (which most likely leaves you behind by a solid 40 - 50 points).  Instead we will focus on the first definition and why you came to such a generalization. First let us for the record point out that based upon your question you are obviously either a man-hating female or a gay man - either way my answer should suffice.  So to this end, I have comprised some of the top reasons why women typically think men are idiot:

1) Communication problems: Woman often times cannot understand what men are saying because men often times use complicated two and occasionally even three syllable words.

2) Logic/Reasoning: Until at least the age of 30 (sometimes longer) women cannot reason their way out of a brown paper bag. A man may say in conversation to a girl who has blonde hair "I generally prefer brunettes". In female land, within 5 minutes this will be somehow be transformed into "I can't believe you think I am fat and you were never attracted to me!"  The glazed over look on the mans face may give the woman the impression that he is an idiot, when in fact he is a logical creature that is unable to follow the psychotic ranting of a lunatic.

3) Poor Judgement: This is in the blood of women and very little can be done to cure it. This is the reason women go out with loser after loser and consequently think men are dogs, or men are stupid, or whatever other brilliant way women describe men. If there is a man out there that is looking to cheat on and abuse a woman, there will be a line of women there that is more than happy to try to make him into a husband.  Regardless of how bad his past is and how many women he has treated poorly the woman will try to change him....because of course it will be different with you – unlike the others he REALLY cares about you.

4) Bitterness: Generally brought about by a man or many men described in #3 which was made possible by your poor judgement.  Either that or daddy wasn’t around when you were growing up so you deal with your feelings of abandonment through bitterness toward men.

5) Raging Lesbian:  Women who like women usually don’t like men.  Perhaps a man, not unlike one described in item #3 turned you against men, or maybe you were just born that way.  Whatever the case, just because you prefer to wear the pants in the relationship along with a strap-on and likely have more facial hair than me, doesn’t mean that we can’t remain civil and avoid mud-slinging.  Don’t worry...none of us are trying to steal your girlfriend from you.
