Man Down Launches Website Highlighting The Many Ways Women Are Superior To Men

Perhaps you’ve heard, Mediaite founder Dan Abrams has a new book coming out next month that outlines the many ways that women are better than men. In advance of that book being published, Abrams has launched a new website that was recently highlighted by the fine folks at Glamour.com. In the interview with the “Smitten” blog, Abrams reveals some interesting background on his upcoming book, descriptively titled Man Down: Proof Beyond A Reasonable Doubt That Women Are Better Cops, Drivers, Gamblers, Spies, World Leaders, Beer Tasters, Hedge Fund Managers, and Just About Everything Else, Abrams combs through the abundance of research documenting how women excel in various areas – from business to relationships to life.

ManDownNews.com launched today, curating the webs veritable treasure trove of new articles about women and their unequivocal awesomeness. He explained his motivation for writing such a book to Glamour.com:

Why write this book? Let me be clear, I am not an expert on women and would never claim to be but the evidence that women are dominating men in so many areas is overwhelming. Every lawyer wants a good case and I felt the evidence was clear and convincing (as we like to say in the law), often underreported, and it should certainly serve as a wake up call to us men.

You’ve likely known for a while now that women are better than men at a lot of things, like handling stress, leading successful companies, and dancing competitively for extended periods of time. But it’s helpful to have a resource highlight all the myriad research and articles and op-ed pieces documenting the many ways in which the female of the species conquers, dominates and excels over her male counterpart. (Not that I’m biased or anything. I’m on the side of ~~smugness~~ science.)

Professional woman and Mediaite’s own Frances Martel also had a hand in putting the book together, helping Abrams navigate through his research.

And, hey. It’s ok to be jealous.

Here you go:

And excerpt from http://autocricket.com/blog/uncategorized/are-men-better-drivers-than-women/

“…According to Quality Planning, a company that validates policyholder’s information for auto insurers, men are 50% more likely to be cited for reckless driving, seat belt violations, speeding and failure to yield at a stop sign. Men are 3.41 times more likely to receive a Driving Under the Influence (DUI) violation than women. So, if we are considering a person to be a bad driver based on the number and likelihood of violations, men take the cake.

When it comes to accidents, men are more likely to be found at fault. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, between 1999 and 2005 there were 175,094 male fatalities compared to 82,371 women fatalities…”

Looks like Dan is trying to get laid. This book is the best pickup line ever constructed.

Extrapolating his thesis, does this mean that Dan will be voting for Palin over Obama in 2012?

dear dan’s sockpuppet,

you’re not looking deep enough at the evidence. these numbers are based on citations, not citations that are weasled out of by a bat of the eyes or a shake of the pom-poms. add in all those ‘warnings’ and something tells me men and women would be about square.

men are of course more likely to get more duis because women have a drunk man drive them home.

the last statistic is the most telling of all. twice as many men dying than women on our roads – incredible. but your stats do not reflect who is actually at fault as you claim, but who is more likely to die in car crashes. considering there are fewer cars on the road with passenger air bags as there are with driver air bags, it seems that men are paying the ultimate price for women drivers.

Which begs the question. If women are better at everything, why didn’t you get a woman to write the book?

Don’t panic, men. There is still one area we will always be better at… P’ing our name in the snow. My wife tried doing that (Margaret) but she was winded after 4 letters….

Men will never be better lesbians that’s for sure.

I like women.

I like the way they sound. I like the way they look. I like the way they smell. I like having them around.

I really wish people like this would stop trying to make them men (and, yes, that’s really what they’re doing in a roundabout way).

They’re different, God bless ‘em. And they can be different and be equal at the same time. They don’t have to be “better”. I have news for you…they’ve always been better, just not in the way these buffoons want you ro believe.

Women are women. Men are men. Let’s keep it that way.

Dan,

Do you think a few leaders from the Muslim Brotherhood might want to record an informercial for the book?

“Is that you, Charlie Sheen?”

Heh. Easy there, tiger. No, It’s not. What Charlie Sheen does has nothing to do with loving women. I can assure you, I have a loving respect for women that escapes him.

My respect and admiratio is justified in my book, even if they leave me puzzled. Looked in the mirror lately? WTF reason do they have to keep ugly ass men around? I truly don’t understand that. Never have. Most men, myself included, are beasts compared to women. Well, aside from the metrosexaul types so prevalent in Hollywood these days, that is.

I thank God for the charity of women. If you think about it, you probably should, too.

Actually, women are better drivers, men drive aggresively and speed more. Read “Myths, lies and stupidity” by John Stossel if you don’t believe that.

With that said, I’m sick of the feminazis insulting men. Men ARE better than women in some areas, at least we can pee standing up, and unlike you ladies, we don’t get pregnant. Ha!

All that list might be true, but it doesn’t matter. When she makes happy noises, men get to listen. All that superiority stuff doesn’t matter a hill of beans then.

Hey, Greg, stupid boy, see, dummy, Nazis were conservative, so I guess the dumb, lazy bitch who raised you is a Nazi? Typical misogynistic conservative. I’m tired of you jealous Nazis (plain Nazis, uneducated one)

Run along, dittohead…it’s no wonder why bright, intelligent women pass you sickening, cowardly losers by. Grow a brain, you mental runt.

“Hey, Greg, stupid boy, see, dummy, Nazis were conservative, ”

Oh really? Then explain these principles of National SOCIALISM:

10. It must be the first duty of every citizen to perform physical or mental work. The activities of the individual must not clash with the general interest, but must proceed within the framework of the community and be for the general good.

7. We demand that the State shall make it its primary duty to provide a livelihood for its citizens. If it should prove impossible to feed the entire population, foreign nationals (non-citizens) must be deported from the Reich

11. The abolition of incomes unearned by work. The breaking of the slavery of interest

12. In view of the enormous sacrifices of life and property demanded of a nation by any war, personal enrichment from war must be regarded as a crime against the nation. We demand therefore the ruthless confiscation of all war profits.

13. We demand the nationalization of all businesses which have been formed into corporations (trusts).

14. We demand profit-sharing in large industrial enterprises.

21. The State must ensure that the nation’s health standards are raised by protecting mothers and infants, by prohibiting child labor, by promoting physical strength through legislation providing for compulsory gymnastics and sports, and by the extensive support of clubs engaged in the physical training of youth.
(Michelle Obama LOVES this one)

25. To put the whole of this programme into effect, we demand the creation of a strong central state power for the Reich; the unconditional authority of the political central Parliament over the entire Reich and its organizations; and the formation of Corporations based on estate and occupation for the purpose of carrying out the general legislation passed by the Reich in the various German states.
The leaders of the Party promise to work ruthlessly — if need be to sacrifice their very lives — to translate this programme into action.

Does this sound conservative to you, punk?

Save your words, greg, Progressives are impervious to facts that contadict their programmed stereotypes.

Also, your list seems like a veritable prototype of what Obama and his Progressive Brotherhood of Liberal Democrats – and THEIR ” Mainstream Media” – tried to impose on this country in his first two-years!

If women are so much “better” than men, why do they make such poor choices…ABOUT MEN??? I guess it’s “fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, fool me three times, shame on me, fool me ad infinitum, shame on me”. Common sense a strong suit, ladies?
avoidswork

…apparently some “XY” egos have been challenged here…

don’t you worry. women are painfully, constantly aware that we are smarter and more capable than men.

but you just have your mid-life crisis, get your hookers, hair plugs, and shiny new two-seater while popping your little blue pills. oh, and barbecuing.

we’ll still take you for 50% in the divorce and then some.

Great, it takes forever for women to get the recognition they deserve, and only 1-1/2 years left ,until 12/21/2012, to enjoy it.
