Why can't a man be like a woman?

[Jenny A]

Very!

Wait... Too a man?

Nope to a man.

Yes well it is about .0001% of one percent of women that want to be fascist or communist dictators or conquer the globe.

Is this a serious comment? How would you know?

Besides, I don't think we can clearly delineate which bad or evil character traits or actions are gendered, because neither gender developed in a vacuum. They both inform one another; if we don't have as many women tyrants or what have you, one argument to make as to why that is is that women haven't traditionally had the power base or ability to become such. Why would there be this fundamental psychological difference? You can see the same mean spiritedness and immorality in women that you do in men, what reason do any of us have not to take that as simply a human trait?

I honestly don't know though what is hardwired male and female nature and what is cultural and what is a matter of opportunity.

Many things that supposedly manly men are into do nothing for me... I can tell you that members of neither sex, when given power, tend to turn out to be saints. In our past, it was mostly men who were given very large amounts of power.

Wait... Too a man?

Nope to a man.

Damn phone!

How long? Your first marriage?

[Jenny A]

I think the argument could be made that from an evolutionary perspective, we wouldn't have survived the lithic ages without some differences. 'Women and children first' got us pretty far. Do these things have a place in our modern societies? Dunno.

Actually, women and children first got western civilization, well, wherever we are. It isn't universal. It's cultural.

How long? Your first marriage?

20 years, second marriage. First one was seven years. I don't regret them, but I'm not sorry I left either.

The thing is both men are more individuals than men, if you see what I mean.

The comment wasnt entirely serious but I have yet to meet such women.

No , women in general are not as violent or bloodthirsty as men, not even close.

You know what a good man and Santa Claus and Jesus have in common? They are all fictional characters.

No I've met some very good men. Then I have met some who really appear to be great people and then got to know them.

Tell about your first husband.

It's the X chromozone versus the Y. There's over twice the genes on the X and so the X wins. The result? The male bell curve on intelligence, violence and a host of other things tapers much further to the extremes. There are probably fewer potential female Hitlers, Einsteins, Stalins, Gandhis or Newtons. Yes men are more violent generally, but not usually pathologically. The overlap of male and female bell curves tends to be greater than the differences.

I like what you said but don't see men having superior intelligence. A lot of them think with their belly and their dick.

There are a few women geniuses, but not nearly as many as there are men. Partly this is cultural. Partly it's the X chromosome pay back for the considerably more retarded men than retarded women. Men aren't generally more intelligent, but they do produce more geniuses. Also more serial killers. But the average man and the average woman aren't that far apart.

Up until quite recently in our history, women were treated like mushrooms. Kept in the dark and fed shit. They were kept narrow minded , uneducated, and unemployed. That still is the case for many women. A genius also cant bloom too well while raising multiple children either.
