Part I of Governing Blunders in which the WTS used a quotation from an anonymous psychiatrist and the department on 'many authorities' attempting to prove that woman feel, while men think, and that the tow actions are mutually exclusive, reached this conclusion in part - "Thus the supervision of women by men seems to be nature?s plan, however desperately women may fight it."
As we all know, it takes as little as this type of statement for groups of men with shiny pants and briefcases to begin herding their women like cattle, trying to convince them that cooking endless 'nutritious' meals really is fun, and that holding a microphone just so, is a real mans work.
I thought we would continue in like vein, reminding the reader once again that many of the writers and editors of the WT and Awake are still writing atricles for these magazines as we speak.
From the August 22, 1967 Awake (p27).
"Thus a leading authority on the human body....tells us the interesting fact that as regards the human skull there is no difference until the time of puberty; but then as adulthood is reached the difference becomes more and more apparent. The female skull is lighter and its cranial capacity is about 10% smaller that that of the male....True, mere brain size in itself is not as important as brain quality, but where the quality is the same the larger brain capacity has an advantage ( there then follows a quote on brain size and ability in starving Africans)
Implicit in these findings is that man is advantaged by a greater brain size...women must learn the art of 'eternal aquiescence' and 'deep altruism' in dealing with their husbands if they want to find happiness
".
Now we do know that many Muslim Clerics and fundamentalist crackpot Christians have concluded that due to having smaller cranial capacities women are of inferior intellect, that the WTS chose to align itself with such thinking is unfortunately not surprising. It was admittedly thirty years ago that this appeared in a WTS magazine, back in the days when God was not so choosy about what he allowed within his dime store rags.
Things have really changed since then...
