Is there a "weaker sex"?

If so, please state your reasons why.
Yes this is stemming from a thread on OT but I'd like a little more maturity in the conversation besides ranting bullshit spewed from a child.

Your "answers" for your poll question are more questions?

It's late darnit.

I don't think I can edit it either (or I'm not smart enough to do so ).

Women by far

Men have equal intelligence, but much increased physical prowess

Women were designed for one reason, men for another...thanks to new technology, men don't need women and women don't need men...now individually, men are superior

Why are men superior individually?

So, men are the weaker sex, but individually, men are superior?

If you lined up all the men according to muscle mass and training, and all the women according to muscle mass and training, and had a fist-fight to the death...the match wouldn't even be close

If it came down to an "end of the world" situation, and men could clone themselves to reproduce and same for women...men would easily win the battle of natural selection

The question is "Is there a weaker sex?"


You say, "Men, by far."

And to answer the original question,


I guess it depends on the context.


In war, women are the weaker sex.

In crying about nothing, men are the weaker sex.

I wasn't necessarily meaning you to take "weaker" so literally.

[Kytro]

Don't know, insufficant evidence

Let me ask another question then. Why are so many people from both sexes so eager to prove that they are "better" than the opposite gender?

[lew]

Why are so many people from one race eager to prove that they are better than another race?


People are arrogant pricks.

fixed your poll options

I think it depends how you define 'weaker' honestly

I don't know anyone IRL that thinks they're 'better' than the opposite sex, though I think there are major differences in many different aspects.. the way we argue, deal with problems, go about finding solutions, etc..

Thank you! Sadly I do know some people IRL who think this way. I agree that both genders are different, but (without trying to fit into stereotypes here) they are strong in their own ways and weak in their own ways.

Lew, I agree with you there.

[IminWonderland]

I think the problem is with the word "weak". Because women are stronger in areas that men aren't.

If it were a contest between my Husband and I...who is "stronger" all around...

I would say me. Because I do everything around here.

My girlfriend could kick my ass.

I'm way smarter than her though. I always tell her, "You're not dumb, sweetie, you're just thoughtless."





It's a lie.
