Well, what if that's so? Are we really so fragile that we dare not even ask that question? Could it be that we're scared of the answer? There are plenty of posts in this thread expressing stronger and more negative generalisations about men, how is it that we're not so scared of those?

The only way to reach truth is to be willing to look for it.

It's not being afraid of asking a question, it's not a question.

You're just "ask"-ing if women are as "not good/stupid", or that perhaps they "aren't interested/are lazy".

It's just a gender stereotype dressed up as a question. It's an insult dressed in an insinuation.
