Wow, dude. That's really convincing! And logical! ... considering everything men have accomplished.

Can you at least tell us why you think this?

Explain the difference.

 

The argument you inferred was mine is a lot more general and open to interpretation. Mine real argument is a lot more narrow.

 

Your argument seems flawed then because women seem to be better at many mental and physical tasks than men.

 

And yet in all cultures around the world through history males have been the warriors.
Truely remarkable that women have lucked upon superior warrior attributes despite not being tested for them at all by natural selection.
Must be one of the most uniquely peculiar cases of coincidental adaptation to ever exist in the real world.

Actually this contradicts what we know about the real world and we must now go back to square one and reevaluate everything. There must be a creator afterall, who's quite careless and haphazard with how it slaps things together.
Making birds with the ability to breathe underwater and fish with tree climbing abilities just because he couldn't be bothered not placing abilities for tasks within organisms which won't need them to be adequate at performing the natural demands which accompany their lifestyle.

Unless of course your statement was a flagrant inaccuracy not only based on nothing but contradicting reality and being a blatant shameless lie.

"womans body is built to handle stress
stress that would bring a man to his knees a woman handles easily
with that in mind i propose the following
women would be better astronauts and jet fighter pilots
because they can handle the G forces better than men"

Actually its the other way around. True story, when the air force was pressured to introduce women pilot they had to lower the requirement standards. The first two women pilots died a horrible plane crash because of this and till today there are far more men pilots than women. Its a no brainer, the man's body is designed for "fight" and to "fight" you have to be also able to hold stress both mentaly and physicaly. Which sex is better? ...Well which one do you find most useful?

 

Women are better at long distance swimming.

The only reason men make better chefs has nothing to do with the quality of their cooking. A high end restaurant requires a hierarchical command structure- a dominator model, rather than a cooperative partnership one.

Neolithic goddess-worshipping societies did not consider men superior. The evidence is their burial customs. Men did not rate any different quality in their burial structures or the instruments buried with them. They did not create defensive structures until the later periods, so they were not warlike. There is no evidence of war in the early neolithic period around Europe and Turkey for 1500 years. In fact, women were valued more highly, since new life came from them.

I recommend reading The Chalice and the Blade, by Riane Eisler.

 

The original argument seems to be: men are better than women at tasks that require testosterone. A self-fulfilling prophecy as it were.

 

Yeah, that's what my professor who was a pilot in the AF was telling me. I do not like the idea of lowering the standards because women were allowed to be pilots. They should have to do the same tests as men. If they can't hack it, so be it. I have no problems with female pilots as long as they're qualified and they've been tested to be as good at flying as all the others. It's just when politics get in the way and allow women to be substandard pilots. It's descriminatory.

 

Inferiority of whom? That's the silliest argument I've seen in ... well, a good few minutes.

They obviously lowered the standards because women could not accomodate the former standard, its not discriminatory. In fact I think they had to lower the standards 2-3 times before women could assimilate, which led to the planes crashing. I am not too sure they are as good as men in actual combat though. Anyway I asked my dog which is better because I thought it was only right and fair to hear from another specie, and here's what he had to say;

"What kind of stupid question is that. That is an egotistical question at best, one which is desinged to make your specie look good. What has either sex done for earth and enviroment but pollute it exponentialy? Anyway both are equally fucked up given the right circumstance(proceeds to his bowl of dog food). Women are like the moon, shinning dimly and guiding us in darkness. Of cause the moon does not have its own light but reflects the light of the sun. Men are like the sun, full of power and vigor, the provider of everything that is good and bad... as long as these things are under the sun. Like day and night each sex has it's own brilliant time"

 

There are two kinds of physical strengths.

If you're talking about body mass, weight and muscle strength, then women are no match for men.

But if you're talking about surviving power, that is the ability to survive better especially under harsh or hostile environment --- women are far more superior.

If you leave a man and a woman out in the middle of the desert without food and water --- the woman is likely to survive longer than the man. Also the X chromosome is supposed to have a better chance than the Y chromosome at the time of the zygote being formed.

The above is what I have been told about the strengths of women --- now I don't know if this is completely right.

 

Women made men bigger physically through the evolutionary process of sexual selection, so that men could protect them and take physical risks for them. I guess that makes women superior, doesn't it?

 

Sexual selection is bullshit! Please refer to the thread: Darwin was wrong about sexuality.

 

can you explain why it implied something else?

men and women are not the same
but to say women are inferior is misleading

i can not help it if your male ego feels threatened by women

 

Then how did the peacock's feathers come about? Certainly it takes alot of energy to grow and carry around such otherwise useless appendages.
