You mean you don't put complete faith in "studies" that strangers post on the internet?

Women and men are equally evil, but men are statistically bigger, stronger, and socially more dominant: thus, more able to act on their evil when it occurs.

Since this is apparently an open trolling thread, I'm going to point out that there is this mechanical device that I'm passingly familiar with that can help level that particular playing field...

Ahh, but the lady in question isn't dead in a gutter, is she?

Also:

The lady is out on appeal pending a new trial:

aaaand

Florida is looking to get rid of that law altogether:

Really, though, you have made an excellent argument about foolish mandatory minimums laws, overcharging prosecutors, and the stupidity and arbitrariness of most of our gun laws; I must have missed the part where you invalidated my point about leveling the physical playing field.

It's not a level playing field if one side is disproportionately charged with crimes for using force. The male equivalent of 'warning shots' doesn't leave much evidence to be charged with, nor do the neighbors often notice (or come forward, if they do).

There's a wide field of play between 'dead in the gutter' and 'safe and happy.'

The UFC - Ultimate Fighting Championships - has decided not just to include lower-standard women in the sport, but to actually showcase them over and above far more worthy men. It's a sickening betrayal of what the UFC has stood for since its inception and I mourn its downfall. Another male space capitulates to female invasion, whilst men stand aside and look.

I don't watch UFC, but if I did, I would much rather watch the women than the men.

Same thing for gay porn. I'd much rather watch two women than two men at it.

Yeah, obviously it's because mainly straight men (and I guess some gay women) are the target audience for UFC.

If you want it to be a boy's sport again, get more gay guys and straight women watching it! Like diving is now mainly aimed at that audience, so Tom Daley has a media career despite 'only' being a bronze medallist :wink:

Or you could start watching tennis. You get to both perv on the women and rest assured in the fact that the men are still rewarded with bigger prize money for their superior strength. Something for everyone there.

It'd be more funny if some guy who previously was watching UFC started watching tennis because tennis supports the patriarchy better

Quote:

....Daniel Amen, MD and his team of researchers completed the largest brain scan study ever and found some interesting differences that affect emotions, longevity, business success, and even memory.

Images of 26,000 participants were analyzed for this study. One of the first findings was that women showed an increased blood flow in 112 of the 128 regions of the brain. This indicates that women’s brains are more active than men’s.

Women’s brains showed a higher level of activity in the prefrontal cortex which is often referred to as the CEO of the brain because of its many functions. It takes care of organization, planning, impulse control and learning from mistakes. Men’s brains showed more activity in the regions that deal with visualization, form recognition, and tracking objects through space. This does not mean necessarily that one gender is brighter than the other, it simply means that the brains operate differently between the two genders.

Dr. Amen stated that when a man and a woman complete the same task, they are calling upon different areas of the brain to do so. On average, men have larger brains than women, often 8-10% larger. This is most likely because men have a larger body frame than women do. However the size is not distributed evenly as women have a larger prefrontal cortex and larger limbic cortex (deals with emotions).

Another large difference between men and women is that women tend to have better memories (any man who has done something wrong in the past can attest to this!) but they have a worse sense of direction.

Women are also found to behave less recklessly than men, and in essence live longer because they are more careful about their behavior. They also have a lower instance of having a disease such as ADD or anti-social personality disorders....

....The differences between men and women have mystified psychoanalysts, philosophers and divorce lawyers. Perhaps the keys to solving this age-old mystery are is in fact keys — car keys.

Want to understand the male psyche, its anxieties and inadequacies? Just look at the cars disproportionately driven by men: The car with the most skewed ratio of male to female drivers is none other than the Lamborghini. A staggering 93% of the owners of that Italian luxury sports car are men. The car with the highest rate of ownership among women, meanwhile, is the fuel-efficient Mini....

....men are more concerned with power and prestige than their pocketbook, says Jessica Caldwell, senior analyst at Edmunds. “Brands with high male percentage tend to be more performance-oriented,” she says.

“Women car shoppers tend to be more pragmatic, so the value brands are at the top,” Cadlwell says. Vehicles like compact crossovers and compact cars tend to also score high with women.” .....

... Men appear to choose their cars as they would choose a watch or cologne, Henry says, based on how it makes them feel and the image it presents to the world. ....

....Women, on the other hand, tend to choose cars based on fuel-efficiency and price....

This points at women tending to be smarter than men.

If you find an image like this on a random google search, that proves it is true.

I don't know which is superior, males or females, but I do know this. Both can produce a lot of poop. Neither really outdoes the other in this department. Yeah, you can get into technicalities about size, and caloric intake, and metabolism, etc..., but that's all just trivial in the grand scheme of things. Both male and female produce poop, and will keep on producing poop. Some may even get eaten and turned into poop by non-human life forms.

Having just watched the video just now, I can't disagree with it.
Of course, some won't like it because it delivers truths they don't want to face.
The worse of the lot are male feminists.

You do know there is a difference between stereotypes and truth?
I did think the vid was funny.Hardly applies to some women.I hooked my sat receiver up by myself.I never ask for directions because I can read a map and fold it.
And as for intelligence,I scored a 98 on verbal skills on the ASVAB,what was your score Raptor?

Mine was 99 ... none of the others was below 83 ...

I met some tech-oriented women in the Navy that would put most men to shame. Some even had Amateur Radio licenses.

Yeah, but women also wear high-heel shoes.

High-heel shoes are pretty dumb if you ask me.

The first time I took it in High school, I had a 97 overall. My lowest score was in mechanical aptitude which was an 86. Two years later, I had to take it again, and got a 96 overall.

But now. I'm stoopid.

On a side note.

I've met some really smart women, and really smart men. Some of each were arrogant dicks. Some were pretty nice. Met some really unintelligent stupid people to. Same there. Some were nice, some dicks. Met some people who were dicks to me. Some female, some male. Met some nice people. Some female, some male. This whole patriarchy, matriarchy is overrated. People are dicks to you, they be dicks to you. It doesn't matter what plumbing and/or secondary characteristics they have or align with.
