An adviser to Greg Abbott, the Republican candidate for Texas governor, said this week that he had found no “evidence” to prove that any woman had been a “significant original thinker in any of the world’s great philosophical traditions.”

In audio obtained by the Burnt Orange Report, American Enterprise Institute scholar Charles Murray can be heard explaining to an audience at the University of Texas that his views on women had not changed since a 2005 paper, in which he asserted that one or “maybe” two women had played significant roles in the field of philosophy.

1. No big deal. Philosophy is a field for people who don't know things.

2. Classic. Look carefully and see if his face doesn't resemble a baby's butt with teeth.

I wonder how he thinks he's so smart if his mom is so nothing?

Maybe if he had a brain as big as a cow, he could actually have an accurate thought.

Old white men like him make life hard for old white men like me.

3. I predict Charles Murray will cost Greg Abbott the election

8. We can only hope.

Seeing Wendy and Letitia in the two top spots would probably herald the "Second Coming" in the minds of the GOP.

10. Agreed; think of the suburban women that this kind of rape touches!

4. Real good way to reach out to women. Tell them they're stupid.

Excuse me, I do not have a penis but I DO have a doctoral degree.

It was difficult and damned hard and I spent a whole lot of time and money earning it.

They can go to hell.

5. Women who vote GOP <<ARE>> "stoopid."

[TxDemChem]

7. Agreed.

What those women see in the GOP is beyond me.

[DhhD]

11. Democrats should insist that RedWomen respond to Murry.

Where has the RedWomen organization been lately?

[TxDemChem]

14. They've been hiding out.

I bet it's hard as hell to try to woman-splain what the GOP really thinks of women. No need for translating...we understood the first time.

13. Give the guy a break -sarcasm-

after all the only women he has ever met are GOP wimmens.

6. I know some women that I dare that idiot to say that to their face.

The results would be interesting to watch, to say the least.

Many years ago I got an A on a philosophy paper by starting with a premise, going round and round in circles for 2000 words and concluding my premise was true because of the rambling in between. It was one of my finer hallucinogenic induced moments.

9. Men like this, gave Bs to Women in colleges and universities in the 60s, 70s and 80s in Science and

Math fields instead of the As they earned along side their male classmates. Now Marshal has the asinine character to blame those women for an era that has very few women scientists. Murry is part of the outspoken, GOP Culture, degrading women, raping them of professional degrees to practice, so women need to remember the, White Conservative Male, when they go to the voting booth. So do their daughters.

Juanita Jean has some good comments about Murray. http://www.juanitajean.com/2014/04/03/inferior-me/

I’m a woman. Please forgive my small brain. I can’t help it. I was born that way.

It is a well-known scientific fact that testosterone makes a brain bigger and therefore smarter. And, that toting around a set of ta-tas is a brain drain.

I am so glad to know that the man who wants to be our next Governor recognizes gender science as being valid and, you know, scientific. The Republican nominee for Governor, Greg Abbott, quotes Charles Murray in Abbott’s education plan to cut pre-K and kindergarten programs in Texas to the tune of $200,000,000. But, all those zeros are justified because Charles Murray has set American straight about things like women, minorities, and the poor.

Especially women.

“No woman has been a significant original thinker in any of the world’s great philosophical traditions,” he wrote. “Women have produced a smaller number of important visual artists, and none that is clearly in the first rank. No female composer is even close to the first rank. Social restrictions undoubtedly damped down women’s contributions in all of the arts, but the pattern of accomplishment that did break through is strikingly consistent with what we know about the respective strengths of male and female cognitive repertoires.”

Yep, women be dumb. Duh dumb. And don’t even get Charles Murray started on minorities.

In Charles Murray’s world, white rich males are the smartest. So, I guess I’m wondering how all these white rich males running our state government got us into the biggest damn mess I’ve ever seen. Maybe they’ve been over-bred, I dunno.

Honey, when all that stands between you and a rock bottom education system is the state of Mississippi, you’re in big trouble. Two more rich white boys move to Mississippi and you’re dead last.

Y’all, this is just a heads up. I don’t think I’m going to make it to November without blowing a gasket. You’re gonna show up here one day and all you’re going to see is my pounding forehead on the keyboard.

Greg is making far more mistakes compared to Goodhair. Greg is actually making Goodhair look bright.

The Davis campaign is counting on the support of single suburban women and Greg is helping her with these voters
