Don’t get too full of yourself. You are just gamete’s way of making more gametes.
Ok, I will show myself out now.
Honestly, if you define success in that way, it's gonna be unfair to the sexes. Success for males will be measured simply by how many women they are able to impregnate, a la Genghis Khan. And unfortunately for women, their success will be measured simply by how many babies they can bear.
Nah man. I prefer the Enlightenment era Europe view in which women's success is measured not by baby production, but simply by how many men (and how awesome the men are) they are able to entice with their seductive charms. It's a more aesthetic way of seeing things.
Women's truest value is their physical beauty. Everything else is trivial. That's how it is in its rawest sense and that's how it should be even in a very cultured environment. Otherwise, we're gonna end up glorifying feminists.
