I mean that tongue in cheek, of course. I'm no male misandrist, nor do I consider myself a misogynyst. I probably display traits of both at times, as well as general misanthropy, self-loathing and the like.

I dont mean this as an insult by any means, because i love women of all races, shapes and sizes, but decades long equality brainwashing has many left feeling like men and women are the same thing, which will never be true.
Women have a much higher threshhold for pain than men do. That makes men the weaker sex.

This also proves some of the earlier points.

Man is a descriptive title, not an earned one. No one tries saying women aren't real women if they don't meet some set of societal standards.

Women have greater stamina, as well. It's said they're better for long-distance running, as opposed to shorter spurts. And how many men could endure 9 months of hormonal volatility, combined with months of morning sickness, and carrying around another human being inside them? Not to mention actually giving birth, haha! Talk about pain! (You couldn't pay me to go through that!) Then there's the other end of the timeline, when more hormonal madness and chronic insomnia kick in at 50-60 yrs. of age. I hear that for some women it never stops, they have to live the rest of their lives like that. Women have endurance.

But then again, when you read about the Shackleton expedition, what men like that managed to endure sounds miraculous. We should all be thankful for what we have, and quit whining, lol!

He's challenging masculinity (surely you understand this) and you know that femininity is charged all day, everyday, to the point of nausea.

Ask a butch lesbian, female cop, working mother or women who doesn't shave her legs/underarms if she agrees with that. Hell, ask a woman with really short hair if she's never heard a comment like that before.

I've never heard "real woman", "woman card", "woman up" or other such gender attacks like is frequently used on men..

Yes people have differeing opinions on feminity, but they don't resort to attacking her gender, instead her choices are criticized... people may say "you should dress more feminine" but not "you need to woman up and start wearing a skirt"

Isn't that just semantics, though?

Greater stamina for long-distance running and a few other things.

You are right, though. Be thankful for what we have.

I am also thankful for what I do not have, namely a man like some of the ones who have posted here. I couldn't tolerate someone who went on about women supposedly being "weaker," the "achievements of men," and some of the things that were zapped by the powers that be since yesterday ("women use emotions, men use logic" and "women shouldn't be allowed to vote"). Not only do I find that kind of discussion to be asinine, who wants to be with someone so insecure that he feels compelled to compete with your physiology?

The sexes have been taught to hate each other- it's very sad that what is supposed to be a joy is now a curse.
