Proven: Men are more likely to be idiots

That nobody take this as a sexist article.Maybe if a man wrote it, he would give it another approach, but that science confirms something that women have been suspecting for a lifetime, is a triumph.The fact is that the British Medical Journal recently confirmed the theory of male idiocy and that many times they do very stupid things. The funny thing is that the study has been led by a 15-year-old British teenager named Ben Lendrem, the son of a prestigious medical professional, who has become the youngest researcher in history to publish in a medical journal.

The fact that a male, moreover, a young boy, has been the promoter of an investigation of this seems to me enough argument not to consider it a sexist initiative. Men and women do not behave the same Other inv...
