Women ≠ evil

This post is an attempt to repudiate a certain misogynistic proposition being circulated for peer review and approval via electronic mail since dinosaur age (read: pre-social-networking-websites era). Cleverly disguised as a "mathematical proof", it tries to equate women with evil. For those who need a refresher, I have provided the so-called "proof" below. It is highly improbable that you haven't already seen it. However, if you are still using AOL as your primary email account, it is very likely that you haven't. Also, you were probably born two decades before dinosaur age. No offense meant.

 

The Proof:

Mr. Benjamin Franklin said

time = money … (1)
 

Few souls frustrated with their girlfriends/wives say
women = time x money … (2)
 

Substituting equation (1) in equation (2)
women = money x money
∴ women = money² … (3)
 

Bible says (somewhere),
money = √evil 

∴ money² = evil … (4)
 

Using equations (3) and (4), we get
women = evil

However, here is the contradiction!

 

The Contradiction:

At any given instant in person's life, time ≠ money, because of the following :

1) From ages 1 - 21 : Have time, but no money

2) From ages 21 - 65 : Have money, but no time

3) Ages 65+ : Money was all spent on kids, time is being spent with grand-kids

Thus, at no stage time = money.

Since statement (1) is no longer valid, the whole proof falls apart. Q.E.D !


(P.S : No offense meant to Benjamin Franklin either.)
