(37 posts)Whose weaker and whose stronger? Biology had its own of implementing the attributes of both - garnering exact evolutionary attributes to one where the other was meant to lack. Just because men dont live as long, it doesnt mean it makes us weaker. On an evolutionary scale men had a lot of hazardous responsibilities not only to their family, but their tribe/community and amongst other men as well.
Biology also saw other things evolutionarily. For instance, the size of an average womans liver is roughly half that of a man. This of course was to accommodate for carrying in her womb.
There are numerous other anomalies in the biological world-the male sawhorse is the one who gives birth (and dies) after the female kisses him and spits her eggs down his throat.
With regard to bears, the male bear is NOT allowed to stick around after the sow has given birth. She will usually be overcome with a voracious rage, and will eat that male bear if he doesnt vacate. The male bear vacates and waits out a whole other season until he can procreate again.
With regard to humans well were a pretty stupid bunch. Modern man at some juncture felt compelled to foist his dominance through societal installments. Societal contracts which we all hope will dissolve for the greater good of our species. Anymore I see us as a species being the most parasitic scrounge on this planet regardless of stripe.
Certainly I will cast blame the actions of certain men and their grasp for dominance this day. But I will also refuse to have a label stamped onmy head that I am somehow flawed or maligned just because I was born with the chromosomes with which I was born! Ive NEVER subjugated a woman for any reason in any circumstance. So for me, such a mysandric statement is saddening. It proves that youll never transcend revolutionary thought, that you wont enlist allied thinkers, and that youd rather draw lines in the sand and engage in zero sum thinking. So to heck with your post. And quit hating on men. Were not all bad and I will not tolerate hateful talk about the gender I was born as. It just as anyone else is not my fault I was born into this gender. And I should never be suffered hostility for that
