Subject: Are men or women better?

Written By: Bob on 06/19/08 at 7:03 pm

I'm going to say people are just people, because you can find anything in both sexes, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight?

It's tempting to say women are better though just because so many guys are d*cks and do crazy things, and not nearly as many women.

Do we really need to bring back those cheesy Battle of the Sexes gameshow from the 70s?    ;D

We have another thread like this somewhere on this message board, it's gotten a little weird.  ;)

I think this is one of those unsolved mysteries like "Which came first?  The chicken or the egg?"  ::)

I suppose it depends on your definition of better.

P.S., if you think about it enough, the egg came first. Evolution has it that a "non-chicken" laid the first egg that was genetically "chicken", so the egg came before the chicken.

Im gonna say that females aren't better than men but females have always been seen as the more attractive gender of the two sexes.

Heh heh,

With all respect to Bob, when the main poster settles for a middle-of-the-road view on a potentially controversial thread, we know this isn't going anywhere, lol.

As for me, I think men are the superior gender because they can kill spiders, lift heavy objects and open jam jars.

LMAO!!!!

Well, Carlos did kill a wasp for me today-and he also gets object that are on a high shelf for me, too.

However, I could say that women could be the superior gender because we get men to kill the spiders/wasps, lift the heavy objects, open the jam jars, & reach for those objects that are on a high shelf.  ;)

People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully

So were different colours
And were different creeds
And different people
Have different needs
Its obvious you hate me
Though Ive done nothing wrong
Ive never even met you
So what could I have done
I cant understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
Help me understand
Help me understand

Now youre punching
And youre kicking
And youre shouting at me
And Im relying on your common decency
So far it hasnt surfaced
But Im sure it exists
It just takes a while to travel
From your head to your fist (head to your fists)
I cant understand what makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully

I cant understand

Better than what?

Or even "better at what"?


People suck.

In that case, I'd have to say women are better.. except that I can't, 'cause I haven't tried the alternative.

I may be wrong but I think the issue is not about "betterness" but power and dominion.

Men could be regarded as "smarter" in the past because they had the social leading role. Women could seem "morally superior" because they were under the social dominion of men and therefore they usually couldn't strive for power.

Today's social engineering is changing all that. Nowadays women tend to be regarded as both "morally superior" as well as "smarter" mainly because feminism has turned into androphobia and "men's guilt" causes males to be silent and bow their heads before the New Paradigm.

Methinks 21st century women don't want "equality" any more than did 19th century men!

True, but you also see an undertow of feminist blashlash coming from women.  It's mostly coming from the younger generation who seem to revere the machismo mentality in men.

It appears to me that it is a complicated matter, indeed. When one talks about this kind of things in short posts one is somewhat "forced" to generalize. Therefore my last post -the one you quote- might seem to be an oversimplification. But I really tend to think that in many Western countries the mainstream process seems to be just like how I outlined.

Thanks for your comment.  :)
