Quote from: "Mr Crowley"What do you think takes more physical capability - building a cart or making a baby?Quote from: "RW"
You claim women are the "weaker sex". We are smaller and feeble, etc. I won't argue that as pound for pound, that's generally true. But what I want to know is if we are so fair and feeble, why, throughout the ages, have you controlled us, beaten us, raped us, mutilated us, murdered us, refused to educate us, denied us rights and even burned us at the stake? Why are you so threatened by us?
We brought you into this world. Is that what has driven fear into your little hearts? That no matter what you build or destroy, you can never bear or sustain human life using just your bodies? Are you frightened by our biological voodoo?
Every time men highlight their superiority in certain human characteristics, you dames chime in with "but we have the babies".
Wow.
For maybe twice, or three times...perhaps even four, you go through a few hours of labour, and proclaim yourself to be goddesses. It is the same claim people offer for multiculturalism...you get a variety of restaurants.
BFD.
Squeezing a baby out pales in comparison to digging ditches by hand in 40 degree heat...or -40 degree heat. Or laying a new roof in high winds and rain. Or laying 10,000 bricks in your new house. Pouring concrete. Welding shed frames. Laying pipes. Only men do it day in, day out.
Yes, having a baby is a moment of great physical duress...but get real. In the grand scheme of things, its a rare event in your life. One, I might add, that you submit to willingly, if not ravenously.
The world you live in is MAN made...and you need to respect that. Maybe then, you can have your silly and rather pointless "Women's Day".
Did you really compare giving birth to LIFE to building a house?
You may be the physically stronger sex but you sure as shit ain't the smarter of the two. Women can build houses and dig ditches and weld shed frames and lay pipes. We CAN do it (the war proved that point) but what you will never be able to do is bear life with your body. HA!
PS - You didn't answer any of the questions presented in my post. Try harder.
