Do you hate feeling inferior to women?

You'r re welcome.

I agree that it is a small minority of men who commit those acts, but unfortunately the problem is big enough that women feel safer when they can choose to travel in their own train cars. The perpetrators unfortunately don't wear signs saying they are molesters, so what can they do? They can't have cops on every train.
It's a bad situation for both the females who suffer or fear sexual harassment, and all the good men who'd never do such a thing and suffer feeling like they are being regarded with suspicion just for being a male passenger.

I couldn't agree more.

Women can bear children yes, but not without men even if it's via a sperm bank.

Intelligence is pretty evenly distributed.

Multitasking was also mentioned, but it's not as if all women are great at it (I for one can't do it at all) and all men poor at it, and it's certainly not all there is to life.

White matter is axons, it connects the parts of the brain. Grey matter is the actual neurons that do the think thing.

There is no such thing as an inferior sex. Everybody has their own set of strengths and challenges. Those gifts and challenges are more varied between individuals than they are between the sexes.

parthenogenesis, while not exactly universal throughout the animal kingdom, is certainly not unheard of, and i was surprised to hear that it occurred in animals as complex as passerine birds. (songbirds, order passeriformes). thought it was mostly confined to the arthropods, molluscs and such.

i have not done the reading yet to see if it has occurred in any mammals, but if humans were capable of it in any way, feel it would have some massive societal ramifications.

i don't feel like "multitasking" exists in the same way most people believe it does...IMHO you're either doing one thing really well, or a bunch of things really sloppily - or at least not as well as you COULD be doing them - because you're not giving them your full attention.

Strange, I thought women were supposed to be inferior to men. After all we're physically weak with our undersized muscles, bad at math and abstract thought, and we're supposed to stay in the kitchen (a household kitchen only) and make sammiches for the men after they come home from a long day at the only household income.

the majority of the math geniuses i have met post-high school have all been females.

during high school and before, the high-achieving crowd was very evenly split between XX and XY.

^^ of course, most people who think exactly like that in the west now, and are vocal about it, are in a minority small enough that it can be ignored.

Men and women are symbiotic. Ma Nature wouldn't waste her time making duplicates when a team is more effective. Our range of ability overlaps, but our averages will never coincide. All that propaganda about women being better is just boosterism for women who are no longer needed in the home to make meals and clothing from raw ingredients, while home-schooling the kids. The Industrial Revolution turned the misfit homemakers into the avant garde, but the great crimes of history are due to plutocracy, not patriarchy. For any young family, it is just more practical for the man to deal with the world, and the woman to deal with the infants, and we then keep those jobs.

Interesting. I had no idea birds could have parthenogenesis. It's a very interesting phenomenon. I looked it up on wikipedia and it seems there are no known cases in mammals.
It's also interesting how some frogs and fish can change sex if needed (when there are too few of one sex) and how (some?) shrimp change when they get older. IIRC they are born male and turn female as they age. Nature is fascinating!

If a person with an IQ of 100 is doing two tasks, they have about 50 IQ available for each. This is sufficient for many jobs and necessary in a nursery, but focus is also needed for things like watching the stars to know when to plant crops, or figuring out how to arrange hot, running water. Neither gender is better. It is like having an argument over which of our internal organs is best, when they are all useless without each other.

I hate feeling inferior to other men and being told that I'm not a real man.
