Okay, time to raise a few hackles. Men are superior to women in some ways and worse off than women in others. Physically, very few women can stand toe to toe with a man and accomplish the same amount of physical labor in the same space of time. Why? Muscle power. Men are genetically designed, for lack of a better term, to be hunters, gatherers and protectors of the family unit. We men have the raw, physical power to wage war, as it was done in days long past. Men will naturally confront aggression with their own aggression and either come to a compromise or defeat the challenge. Men will naturally try to take the lead in things, either by nature, design or need for ego stroking. Basically, the things that men are superior in are more physically noticable than those for women, so of course we always comment on the inequities. Women, however, are much more mentally stable and even as a general rule. Not that they don't go insane, or anything like that, but they can accept and adapt to more stressful situations than a man will, hands down. Women are left with the burden of the family, internally. A mild way of looking at it would be that women are the grease that keeps the cogs of men turning instead of seizing and shattering. They are the moral, emotional and mental support men need. Then, along came feminism, which said women should have all the power of men without giving up the power that they, themselves, possess. I'm all for equal rights and equal pay and all that nonsense, since they are hot topic buttons, not serious issues. I've never cared, nor has any men I know personally, who was in charge, as long as the work got done. If you can do the job, then do it and stop stnading on the soap box and proclaiming that you should be allowed to prove. Do it. The phrase "Sh*t or get off the pot," comes to mind frequently when it comes to the concept of the male/female power struggle. The castration of males, and castigation that goes along with it, is a lot of what really fuels the whole issue. "Knuckle draggers". That one phrase is at the bottom of this whole sess pool both sexes seem to enjoy wading around in. If you want to be treated like an equal, then act like you deserve to be called one. Physically, I have outworked practically ever female that I have worked with, especially when I have worked construction. Emotionally, and mentally, I have met my betters and respect them for it, until they try to use it like a 2x4 and start bashing me for not knowing what they know. How about males and females both back the egos down and stop trying to wage a pissing war over the things that really don't matter and are inconsequential in the scope of the human race's existence? I know it will never happen but it is such a nice thought. Actually, better yet, how about both sexes stop browbeating each other and start complimenting a bit more? Be a nice change of pace if nothing else. Until the mentality changes, social anarchists like me are going to continue to point and laugh at both sides, mainly because the pie that is being fought over went rancid eons ago.
