That is another very interesting article. My opinion is that I hope men don't cease to exist. As much as I think you are all nothing but a pain in the butt. I do love you dearly and couldn't live without you.

but no, on a serious note, I agree with you completely, I just dont like hypocritical people, male and female, so when a woman says she is as good as or better than a man, and then in the next breath use being a woman as an excuse not to get involved in manual labour, then that just smacks of usinng something to your advantage when it suits you, and vice versa, and that applies to men and women, just dont like hypocrites!! But I do believe in equal rights for all, me/women, white/asian/back, able bodied/disabled etcetera...you catch my drift dont you?
PEACE!!

Exactly. The point being that we are not one, or rather two, homogenous groups. Each and every person has their own strengths to bring to the table, and all things being equal, we can help each other to overcome any weaknesses. Personally I find, that it is the differences that make things interesting, but nor do I feel that men or women should be bound by outdated stereotypes. As Brian said, why can't we all be individuals?

p.s. by the way... I love that film, "life of brian" monty python's....its one of my top ten fav's along side their other one "monty python's and the holy grail" pure class, and a sense of humour rarely seen now, everything just seems to be blue and sex this and violence that, comedy has its moments these days, but those where better times, pure quality, unadulterated comedy you could really laugh to, sit down for hours and watch it over and over again!! have you seen the part where brian falls out of a tower and lands straight in an alien ship, that then promptly crashes? hilarious!!! when his mum says to the people "He's not coming out, coz he's been a very naughty boy" and the peoe that all think he is the messiah say " awww, go on..."
loadza luv and huggs 'n stuff!!!
PEACE!!

Haha, yes I have...I can't remember who said it, but I love the quote, 'Show me an clean house and I'll show you a life wasted.' You know, I think that many of those adverts were designed to increase compulsive buying in women, by making them feel even more inadequate because they weren't as satisfied as the women in the ads, and would therefore buy more, develop OCD tendencies to fill the void.... And in the same breath, how many of the men back then were satsified with being the responsible one, working all the hours god-sent, and never getting to participate in raising the kids, or enjoying the home that they worked so hard for?edit on 30-8-2012 by Biliverdin because: (no reason given)

Sex robots that bring beer, now that's a great idea, if we can program them to only say yes and shut up the rest of the time except for oooh oooh, that would be fantastic.

Hmm don't know where to start here.
I know lets invent the artificial womb and create new life without women. Who needs women any way I guess they think they have enough of their own testosterone, some women have way too much lol.

I never disputed what you said, but competitive strongmen are hardly representative of the average male that you find lying around the place and who may or may not be on hand to do some heavy lifting when the need arises...which is the point I was making. I never claimed that some men were not stronger that most women, just that some men are not, and as you yourself have demonstrated much of that strength can be attributed to training, and is not something that ALL men are naturally predisposed towards. And nor should they be. Simply being very good at lifting things is not particularly useful generally and in day to day life, is seldom needed.
