I am surprised at the amount of people here thinking that men and women are equal, while women are usually (statistically speaking) better motivated, better at complex tasks, less prone to violence and more empathic than men...
Even if all of those things are true (provide me a source, then we'll talk), it doesn't mean women and men aren't equal, or that they should not be. Women have a natural disadvantage to strength, and estrogen causes dementia if the neurochemical balance is thrown in it's favor, but you don't see anyone saying men are better than women (not here at least).

Muscle strength is largely irrelevant in modern society and dementia usualy sets in after a person's productive life. On the other hand, the advantages women have over men are very relevant in todays society.

Well, you'd need to separate people from the way society treats them because of their gender for this study.  Which would be almost completely impossible.
What would the use of that be? You can't do those studies in a vacuum because people don't live in a vacuum.

Oh, right, I read natural ability into that post where I shouldn't have.  My mistake.

You...you're not serious, are you? There are countless applcations for strength, and not all of them job related. I still want to see where you get your facts, by the way. I honestly don't see how you can come in here and argue the "men are inferior to women" stance, even more so with you being a male (according to your profile, at least).

Yeah... I'm calling BS on this until you provide a reliable source. As in, not wikipedia, and not a source that paints everything in a feminist light.

So... you prefer a biased study?

I take it you are either a moderate new-wave-feminist woman signed-up as a male, or a really die-hard extremist new-wave-feminist male.

As Breadbox pointed out, you're kind of acting like a second-wave feminist extremist. As in, the same ones that advocate that men are inherently inferior and women must rule them. It's akin to watching a black man donate money to the KKK.

I still don't see the problem? Are you saying that men can't confess their inferiority?

Wow, I must've missed the part where Virex started advocating lynching men.  I mean, all I saw him do was make a personal value judgement and express surprise that other people didn't reach the same conclusion.

Yeah, and gender really has nothing to do with it either.

I'm saying that men aren't inferior, and that you still haven't provided a source to your claims a page back.

No one is inherently inferior to anyone else, why is this concept so hard to understand? No one said anything about lynching men, Virex said that men are inferior while he is indeed a man, which I think is just silly.

I'm not saying otherwise.  Just that it isn't remotely equivalent to a black person donating to the KKK.

As a dude who interacts with other dudes, I happen to know they are quite stubborn. Ever heard of the everpresent husband who got lost, but won't ask for directions? Yeah.

Look the point is, you are making wild claims, with not information to back it up. Now, provide information, or go away, troll. And don't go and say they were your opinions, because earlier you said quite clearly they were medical studies. You can't weasel your way out of this.
