I have historically used toilet paper to wipe my ass. Sexual dimorphism is not synonymous with oppression, so why there would be any need to deny such a thing is a mystery.
Your notion of the big manly man and the little girly girl exists only in your head. The difference between males and females is - here in the US, at a point where there -is- a noticeable difference ; 4% in height, and 8% in body mass on average. Size still doesn't matter (and looking at the above, it's easy to see why), but I appreciate the attempt to say that "women said this, women said that", like the phantom black or gay friend in a discussion about civil rights - it was bound to happen...and I'm glad that we've got that out of the way. When your daughters martial arts instructor becomes an expert on evolution or sociology perhaps the things you put in her mouth will carry some weight and offer support for your statement. Until then, they do not.
Comparing the situation at hand to a game like boxing is pointless. The rules of the game do favor an opponent with greater reach, for example, but greater reach in and of itself doesn't appear to be any promise of victory - even within the boundaries and confines of the game. Further, the ranges delineated by say, boxing, separate opponents of greater difference than the difference between males and females on average. I could go on and on but of course we would also have to mention that such classes and divisions did not always exist, and their creation is as much about marketing (1 title fight opportunity vs many) as anything else.
I woke up this morning and saw that you had responded and thought to myself "holy shit, maybe he did make an attempt" - but I see that you have not.
