superior sex., is it man or woman? Options

[rOckThISshYt]

what do you think? i think that we're all equals. some women depend on a man's support but that pisses me off. i think each gender should be independant, strong, and worthy. just like me!!!

[Paradox of Life]

Man is superior. The fact that women and girls have to try and prove themselves to be better than men says it all ("Girl Power!" "We can do it!"). Stop trying to deny it. It's true. Just today, the coach referred to easy pushups on your knees were called girl pushups and the real pushups were boy pushups. They told us we probably couldn't do boy pushups, but if we thought we could, we were welcome to try. It's just how it is. Men is the dominant gender. Name 1 extremely important female person. One that has the impact of-

Albert Einstien
Sir Isaac Newton
Martin Luther King
George Washington (and all the presidents for that matter)
Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Bach

I don't think any female icon can stand up to that.

Is that because women are incapable of such greatness, or because, historically, they didn't have the same opportunity to be great as men did?

Of couse they had the same opportunity. Every woman could've taken up a sword or a .45 and killed those that held them back.

Society, and even the Bible taught them otherwise. To be woman, is to be docile and obedient to one's husband. Yes, they could've taken up swords and ran them through those who held them back, just as men did, but that meant rebellion and disobediance. That meant going against what society dictates as the 'nature' of women. To breach society's standards meant facing ostracism from not only society, but also family. Doing so may not be such a big deal in contemporary times, but historically, it was the unthinkable, something shameful. Because of this culture, women's development as scientists, adventurers, mathematicians, in politics and much more was held back.

No they did not have the same opportunities. It would have even been harder for a woman to hold a sword as easy and as normal as it would have been for a man, not because she's truly not fit for it but because men will dictate othetwise. Also, they don't even have the same consequences even if the opportunities to do so was were equal (in case you can explain it). The consequence of a man killing a man for disrepect is in old times was nothing except drama and gossip. The consequence of a woman killing a man for disrespect (or even rape) was a crime, punishable by death or imprisionment.

*stabs herself* were you being sarcastic? yes. yes you were. if not, grrrrr.
