Battle of the Sexes? Why? Oh please, why?

I recently entered into a discussion about the superiority of the various genders.

This was an interesting argument to watch from the sidelines. People were fighting tooth and nail, and not just for their own gender. Men were defending women, and insulting themselves, women were, well actually, the women were just talking about how great they are, come to think of it... I suspect the guys were just trying to earn brownie points...

I'm a firm believer that there is no 'better' or 'worse' gender, simply different areas of specialisation. Some people feel that because males are better than women at, say, sports, they are therefore more physically fit than men, and thusly better equipped to survive. Some feel that due to a woman's ability to focus on multiple things at once, they are better equipped to survive.


Has it occurred to anybody that we're both required for the natural progression of the human race? It all reminds me of racism, to a certain extent. People unwilling to accept the differences between each other and understand that we're all human.

It's stupid and childish, get over it.

I have a simple test to prove this. Take two pins, prick them into the palm of two hands - one male, one female, (attatched to living human benigs, please), with equal force. See who cracks first. You'll probably be surprised. For the second part of the test, take the owners of those two hands, and put them into a boxing match. The answer to this one's a little more obvious.

Repeat this series of tesst as much as you like, and on average, the scores will come out 1-all. I think i've proven my point about different areas of specialty. Now, can we all shut up and work on proliferating our species?
