ORIGINAL: DesFIP Settle down big guy, we're talking from different viewpoints. Superior means better, not stronger or more powerful. Prior to birth control being widely available, women were powerless simply because they spent most of their time pregnant and doing childcare. That's a fact. But it doesn't mean the man who got her pregnant was a better human being - smarter, better educated, less likely to be addicted to liquor etc. It just means he was physically stronger than her and able to do things she couldn't because she was pregnant, nursing, weakened from repeated childbearing etc. And come the apocolypse, I alas, will not be claimed. I'm over the hill despite the fact that unlike the crones of old, I still have all my teeth! In the phsical context I was talking about, 'superior' does mean bigger, stronger, faster etc. And not just because the females are allegedly all worn out popping babies.... Soooo, what's this semi-veiled dig about my brand spanking acrylic uppers? Coincidence orrr...? Cost me near 400 bucks - and no crone discount, dammit! Focus.
