Bukari: “”the prophet said, "isn't the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?" the women said, "yes." he said, "this is because of the deficiency of a woman's mind."” http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/sunnah/bukhari/048.sbt.html#003.048.826
A common answer Muslims have (to western audiences) is that some haddiths have been corrupted. Notice that they dont rennounce or deny the validity of this verse in the Bukhari when they say that.
Another response I often here to explain this verse is stuff like "ohh well, us woman make-up for it." Its astounding, they literally accept it and laugh it off, like its just a reality of life that woman are deficient of the mind.
I suppose this is a paradox because, any woman who accepts savage Muhammad's stupid claim that woman are deficient of the mind, are deficient of the mind! Naturally the answer to this paradox is easy, considering that under Islam they are raised to have low self esteem.
