Biologically, there is a clear superiority of women over men: • Women live longer by at least seven years! In the animal kingdom, the female also lives longer than the male. • Women are more resistant to infectious agents and even cancer! • Women work longer hours during their lifetime than men. Women have less leisure time. • The infant mortality rate is less for girls than boys. • In industrialized countries the greater longevity of women is an undisputed fact. • Women are known to take better care of themselves, both physically and mentally. • At any age, men are three times more likely to die of accidents, violence and cardiovascular diseases. • Malignant cancer related to smoking and alcoholism occur more frequently in men. • Women resist extreme cold longer than men, because they have a deeper insulating layer of fat under their skin. • Hemophilia, the hereditary disease which prevents blood from clotting, affects males primarily. • Men are more subject to color blindness, stuttering and learning disabilities. • Women have better manual dexterity enabling them to do work requiring finer movements. • Women are wealthier than men. The U.S. Treasury Department informs us that women die richer by outliving spouses and inheriting everything. • Girls mature, on the average, three years earlier than boys.

For not only is the average man more intelligent than the average woman but also a clear and rather startling imbalance emerges between the sexes at the high levels of intelligence that the most demanding jobs require. For instance, at the near-genius level (an IQ of 145), brilliant men outnumber brilliant women by 8 to one. That's statistics, not sexism. In this context, Professor Greenfield's indignation that only one in ten science professors is female doesn't seem all that bad. It also goes some way to explaining why, in almost 110 years of Nobel Prize history, only two women have ever won the Prize for physics, only four have won the Prize for chemistry and why no women at all have ever won the coveted Fields Medal for mathematics in eight decades of trying. In recent years, the forces of political correctness have made the reporting of this sort of statistic virtually impossible. Yet as a psychologist who has dedicated his career to the study of intelligence - and, in particular, to how it differs between the sexes - I can tell you that in my academic circles these IQ figures are barely disputed. Ever since the Frenchman Alfred Binet devised the first intelligence test in 1905, study after study has confirmed the same result. When it comes to IQ, men and women - at least once they've gained adulthood - simply are not equal. Boys and girls may start out with the same IQ but by 16 or so boys are starting to inch ahead. The ever-growing success of girls at GCSE, A-level and now at university would seem to refute this - but the blame lies with our exam system, with its emphasis on coursework, which rewards diligence more than it does intelligence. The undeniable, easily measurable fact remains that, by the time both sexes reach 21, men, on average, score five IQ points higher than women.
Seriously, we're DIFFERENT, but equal.
My point was that we're different, not inferior/superior to each other. We're interdependent, and to think otherwise is ... well... foolish to say the least.
I have nothing further to comment..

Women and gay men are likely to be the worst drivers, a new study has shown. Research has revealed that both perform poorly in tasks involving navigation and spatial awareness when compared to heterosexual men. Psychologists at Queen Mary, University of London, who conducted the study, believe the findings mean driving in a strange environment would be more difficult for gay men and women than for straight male motorists. Both tend to rely on local landmarks to get around, and are also slower to take in spatial information. The computer-based tests were carried out on 140 volunteers, and demonstrated that gay men, straight women and lesbians navigated in a similar way, sharing the same weaknesses.

I see you are trying to make some sort of a point. Not sure what that exactly is. Your mouth is moving but I can't understand the words coming out of it. But then I am "just a girl" so what is the most you can expect?
Leaving you in peace. My work here done.

This all a plan by the TPTB. Reason? women are ignorant. Yes to all the ats females.....your gender is ignorant. Even more then my useless feminized gender. Women tend not to give two craps about politics. They focus more on pop culture and celebrity. its called gossip. Women for some reason love gossip.

Another reason is women are more emotional. Most women dont think logically. There is SOME logic in it...but the majority of it is emotions and feelings.

Wonder why most women are pro-gay marriage? because women evolved to be the child nurturer. They evolved to be able to nurture children emotionally. The problem is once they got out of the house so to speak they all pretty much became activists for what ever cause is popular.
They think "these poor people...i better help them out!". They do. They go out and chant with signs. But they dont think about things LOGICALLY. its always "how can i help". This is why TPTB can manipulate women. Because they dont think with there heads. They think with there hearts. Plus like i said they tend to be ignorant of politics in general. Like with the gay marriage issue. They dont tend to know anything about law at all but form a opinion anyway.

It's only one reason. There are MANY.
Women are submissive, period.
It's in their nature.
Those that aren't are exceptions, else have had their hormones out of whack by the same groups of chemicals.

Not the PC answer, but accurate nonetheless. Add one more vote for a "d-bag" rating from me. You can try to impress some women with these misguided uber-macho antics, but I assure you that some of us would just walk away and let you enjoy the two meals you ordered by yourself.

Again, gross and unjust stereotyping of women. May I ask what exactly you've done politically? I've served one term as a city commissioner, spent years as a code enforcement officer, served several years as an officer of the county Republican Executive Committee, ran for the state House of Representatives as a 3rd party candidate, and as a GOP candidate I came within 2 pct of unseating a 20 year incumbent mayor. You have no clue what it's like for a woman to run for political office and break into the realm of the "good ole' boys" club, especially in the deep southern US. Many people of both sexes obsess over pop culture, but not all of us do. I disconnected my cable TV service 10 years ago when I realized how destructive the media spin and propaganda was to our personal growth. I challenge you to do the same.

While women do tend to show their emotions more often, I tend to believe that we just express it openly rather than try to hide behind macho pride. You may view emotions as a form of weakness because you've succumb to years of destructive social conditioning that's brainwashed you into believing so. My first husband once had an emotional outburst that caused him to beat the hell out of me for contradicting his opinions and embarrassing him in front of his family. That's what happens when one only hides their emotions... they lack knowledge on how to deal with emotions in a positive manner and can turn to violence as an outlet. Luckily for him I was able to control my emotional hurt and anger when I woke him up at 2am to revisit the issue. (With my 45 pointed squarely in his face)

While I largely agree that we tend to harbor a more nurturing spirit, I challenge your assertion that it skews our ability to make sound decisions. In my opinion, this is another example of where our emotional management skills tend to help us excel. We can disregard the macho stereotypes that society tends to expect of men, and look at the issue from a fairness and equality perspective. Many mens perspective of the issue is skewed by social conditioning that leads them to believe that ALL men should conform to the same strict and stereotypical social cookie cutter roles, and that any deviation justifies relegation of non-compliant persons to lesser, 2nd class status.
