Skills, and other traits like intelligence or personality, are not dichotomously distributed. Essentially all human traits have distributions that are approximately Normal. If you break out any two large groups you can find statistically significant differences due to the large sample sizes. But these differences have no practical implication. You can't say woman are ...... (fill in the blank). The world just doesn't work that way. There is way more variance within the groups than between the groups. So knowing a person is from group X tells you nothing about their standing on a particular trait of interest. Typologies are never good models for human behavior, as much as they may seem to be relevant.
So ends todays lesson.
Quiz on Friday.

I see threads like this, and I know the health system is not medicating to the required standards.......either that or people are slipping through the cracks.....
I am me, neither superior, nor inferior to anybody........extrapolate that and you'll see that I view women as equal, as should everyone. I have never purposely said "I want to emulate a woman"....I seem to have been born with this...maybe, I somehow slipped through a crack, and missed my medication too!....

Superior for what range of activities and purposes ?
Then how important is that range of activities and purposes compared to those that remain?
Can o' worms Lovies.....
I'll stick with "Women are far wiser than we give them credit...and wiser still than they have been acculturated to give themselves credit!." Physically, they have strengths that would humble most men.
Genetically, Nature bets more on Women than men...they have more DNA and they have to have the wisdom to choose the mate to mix DNA with them. So instinctive women have more to do and choose than men. Remember, instinctively, with men its "any port in a storm" when mating season begins.
In this new age, where instincts are more and more obsolete (due to Technology), we are becoming less and less complementary....we could even pick a sex and eliminate it and let technology replace them.
As a man, I'm a bit nervous.....I think men are more expendable and our sex function is easier to reproduce with technology.
Geesh !

to distribute meds to all Now this thread make sense. Superior
I forgot was I was going to say. More meds!
My wife is real trooper...has shown strength and patience in the face of adversity...Patience of JOB...
But with that said, we are equals in life and will always remain so...
I totally disagree that society is 'more feminine'. I think the problem with the world today is that it's become far too masculine. A better explanation is that we are in a transition from the Age of Picses and going into the Age of Aquarious. The Age of Pisces was the Industrial Age and the Age of Masculinity. The Age of Aquarious is the the Age of Feminity but it is not being lead by women. They are the followers, not the leaders. The Feminist Movement is a result of the Industrial Age. They wanted to be equal so they became more like men.
It's this group and others like that are the leaders of the Age of Aquarious.
If we cut straight along the average, women are less strong in the upper body and stronger in the lower. They have slightly smaller brains then men but the baseline IQ is the same. They have greater pain tolerance.
Yet these differences are very slight and I've known lots of men and women above and below such averages in these things.
Most importantly though is that everyone should be treated and considered equally important and equally valuable rather than judged or limited based on extreme and unrealistic stereotypes.
There is still a lot of sexism amongst men and women regarding men and women. Surely It is everyone's duty to fight it.
Well I like them way more then guy I don't even like guy

Equal but opposite.
Well, women are clearly superior in the ability to reproduce and thus are more necessary for the survival of the human race .........on the other hand men are better at parallel parking and thus more necessary for parallel parking...........so I guess we 're equal. Let's kiss and make up !
Generally are women superior, no I'd say not. They try harder a lot of the time, because they have to, which can make them seem superior.
Have faith. I don't mean faith in gods or governments, prophets or pundits. Have faith in yourself, in what you can do and what you know to be right. What you need is inside yourself, you can not find it in a book or the words of another, it may be hardest to find it there but if you look, find it you will!

Why has this question even been asked NO ONE is better than any one else we all have thing we are good at things we are bad at just differant things. and if we were all good at the same thing how boring it would be.
Spelling bad because the fairies make love on my keyboard.
I like the fact that women are by and large A Far more peacefull race than males. There are far fewer instances where females start Wars. They are mure nuturing and benevolent than males. Is this a "superior" trait?? I think sometimes this is why I dress, it makes me feel quite peacefull.
Definitely superior.
I think you definatley have that correct :P men & women are not different races!!!
wow, such a silly debate, women have some abilities & skills that they are more adept at then men, and men have some skills & abilities that they are more adept at then women. But one particular skill does not make one superior to another. well, that was refreshing..now to go to class & do some real thinking.

No, I don't think women are superior.
And part of the reason I dress up, is because women dont! I realized a long time ago, that if I wanted to see a sexy chick, in high heels, and lingerie, it would have to be a do-it-yourself project. I bought my ex wife lingerie, and some sexy heels. She wore it once! When I suggested she put it on now and then, her standard reply was, "Can't we just get in bed and do it". Just look at how women dress these days. Nuff said.

If it wasn't for women, men would still be hacking at each other with axes and spears.
This is the MTF cd forum, not politics, you know they aren't allowed... don't turn this into a political debate or I will close it.
All political posts will be deleted. Keep threads on topic.

Missing my Libra babe Sherlyn, I hope she's rocking up there with the angels
Missing our Rianna, doesn't seem right, gone to early, hope she's partying with Sherlyn
Sometimes I favor The "Woman Superior Positions." But that's not what your asking, right?
Individuals CAN be superior to other individuals in certain aspects. I can't play a fiddle like Isaak Perlman, can't sing like Pavarotti, don't have the political "smarts," of a Hillary Clinton. But, I bet I could find something that I do, that would make me superior to them! For one thing, I'm really great at cleaning the lint out of my belly button.
Can't take generalities and apply them to individuals. So there!
Peace and Love, Joanie
