we aren't equal in the same ways of course.

i like to think(correct me if im wrong) that before the world was the way it is now it was the mans job to take care of the women who would then take care of the baby. Now the world is different now, men may take care of the baby while the women has a full time job.

but back to the superior sex, its impossible to compare. men and women are just different, for example men have testosterone and women have estrogen.

Men have testosterone which naturally makes then physically stronger,before technology giving them the upper hand when it would come to hunting and gathering. (im not trying to say women cant be just as strong or even stronger as any man)

and women have estrogen which allows them to carry a baby, healthily have a baby and then take care of it, such as breast feeding.


i hope i have respected every body's feelings with my post and if i sounding as though i was objectifying either sex im sorry
I think that your post made a lot of sense. I'm not sure that I understand what you're saying correctly, but about the only thing that I differ with is the part about women being as strong as any man. They may have as much or better endurance, but the strongest women in the world are not stronger than, or as strong as, the strongest men. Like you mentioned, the testosterone probably the reason.

I've posted this story before, but it applies to this topic.
I remember seeing an incident on a daytime talk show, probably Merv Griffin or Mike Douglas, in the early 70's. The guests included James Caan, who had recently played tough-guy Sonny Corleone in the move The Godfather. Another guest on the show was a female arm-wrestling champion, who was obviously very strong. One of the show's other guests suggested that the woman athlete and James Caan should have an arm-wrestling match right there. Caan didn't want to do it, but the audience was cheering the idea of the match. He relented and they did it. Caan quickly defeated her. At least she was a good sport about it.
