Ohhhhhhh! That explains it!

Last week we were studying emotional intelligence, and I asked the students to write an opinion essay on whether they felt that women have a higher EQ than men, and whether this is the result of biology or cultural conditioning. The responses were enlightening in general, but my favorite was this gem from Mr. Kim:

"Of course the men are more emotionally intelligent to the women, because all of famous artists are men. If the women are emotionally intelligent, we would see many famous artists who are women. But actually, we don't see this. So we can know that men have higher EQ."

I'll bet the Guerrilla Girls are going to be embarrassed when they figure that one out.
