Why being a woman must suck at times!

Post Reply New Topic

I was using hyperbole to make a point. I did a quick Google and found so many articles about the fact that clinical trials use men rather than women I wasn't sure which my one to link to make my point.

It's a known issue.

Ironically it did start because women were being protected, especially after the issues with thalidomide and pregnant women. No one wanted to risk damaging unborn children again.

Yes, I recall now this issue.

I sounds stupid because they are risking to damage more like this; but there's no solution for that.

Men are apparently 13% stronger than women.

doesn't seem right...

I can move 2-3x as much weight in pretty much any movement, compared to women in my gym.

[1] I have had horrible luck with doctors.
[2] Trust their expertise, but know they are guessing.
[3] Use the expertise of doctors as a resource.
[4] Double-check their work . . . seriously Google what they tell you.
[5] I have mitigated much suffering from not taking what a doctor says as fact.
[5b] Dizziness caused by rocks in my head (inner ear) caused by moisture and/or inflammation caused by sinusitis caused by a deviated septum . . . fixed by surgery . . . my research . . . doctors were frankly annoying . . . FOR YEARS.
[5c] "No that medication does not have that side effect" . . . Google . . . yes it does.
[5d] "Your problem is in your head" . . . Google . . . no you are a f*****g idiot . . . I have a pinched Ulnar nerve.
[5e] "Don't self diagnose" . . . OMG are you f*****g serious? I check Google before I ask you, because you are often wrong.

It could be wrong. I heard it on NPR. It also depends on what they are measuring. Perhaps this is an aggregate.

" . . . the very strongest female athletes are barely above the median of grip strength for men." http://www.unz.com/gnxp/men-are-stronge ... n-average/

Men seem to be CRAZY stronger with grips (~160% on average?). I guess that is why we open all the jars.

"According to the National Strength and Conditioning Association, women generally produce about two-thirds the amount of total strength and applied force that men produce. Women are also physically built so that they generally carry two-thirds as much muscle mass as men. This proves that there is, in fact, a difference in strength, that men are typically stronger, and that most of the difference is based on body size and muscle cross-sectional area alone." http://www.livestrong.com/article/28688 ... -vs-women/

So 33% stronger (likely on average, not the extreme higher end). I must have misheard the NPR story.

Being a woman sucks if the woman is transgender and feels like a man trapped in a woman's body.

Couldn't be because the promoted ideal female beauty isn't over-muscled while the promoted male ideal beauty is over muscled?

I am sure a lot of women fear to end up to look "masculine" if they weight lift too much.

There are men who move 2-3x of weight compared to other men.

I do know one extreme exception. Someone who cut off our friendship went into a male dominated field (Exercise gym) and was quickly promoted manager. I am not exactly sure how long it took but it was less than half a year for her. Despite grinding away at the public library for ten years, I've never been given any offers of higher positions. It could be that I am just not very assertive and confident but the fact remains that I've been in a complacent position for a long time.

This ex-friend also had no problem getting dates and immediately had a new boyfriend after breaking up with her previous one after she moved close to where I live. I tried using dating sites over the same summer (2016) after not using them for a long time as well as calling a dating service in Austin but the dating sites were just history repeating itself and I was denied the dating service because I only work part time.

I really hate it when SJW feminists claim I have white male heterosexual privilege. What they don't get is that the Bible Belt cancels that out because I don't fit the mold of the culture around me. Other white people attack me for not being a "big strong man" as well as not calling myself a Christian, other men don't "have my back" but haze me, and most of the women here think I am undateable for still living with my mother, only working part time, not having a "real man's body", not being fanatical about sports, and not calling myself a Christian.

Feeling that you have to look good is something that both genders are still dealing with. It is hurting both men and women.

I move 2-3x as much as the women who are serious about lifting.

They may be serious but they may be less likely to gradually increase the weights; and less likely to take supplements, for the reasons stated above.

I notice that most women in gym (including serious ones) stick to 5-10 kgs of weights and remain so forever, i am sure they can do more.

So woman are 2/3 are strong as men on average. I wounder where your 2/3 strength-equivalent women are running around?

Man combined wight lifting record 473 kg (?)
Woman combined wight lifting record 348 kg kg (?)

If a woman has a platonic friendship with a man,people always assume they are a couple.One of my few friends is male and once in a blue moon we get together do something.People ask if he's my BF.Why can't people realize men and women can be friends without sex being involved??

Sadly, sex is something that has become apart of our culture. It certainly feels inescapable.

I went to the store to pick up a TV with a friend who is a girl (her dad is some famous engineer that designs TV's). She remarked that everyone must think that we were married. It was an odd sensation.
