Male and Female; SO different - all you need is a piece of a human body big enough to contain DNA...

and you can tell one from the other.

That pretty much means, for Humans (and let's face it, we're talking about Humans) the difference between the sexes goes all the way down to the cellular level if not further. But WHO in their RIGHT MIND would use this as a way to separate the sexes and say one is better in ANY WAY than the other?

So fucking WHAT? Anatomically we're different. I get that. Do YOU get that? NOTHING makes Male better than Female. NOTHING makes Female better than Male.

Do FEMALE dogs run from fire with more enthusiasm than MALE dogs? Do MORE male RATS/MICE die in traps behind stoves than females? Have you EVER caught a FEMALE Bluegill with a worm under a bobber after a MALE Bluegill swam by?

I have to confess... I posted this for one reason: To start an argument. I wanted to start an argument between people who are obviously smarter than I am, and who can see differences between male and female that I CAN'T.

"Who's the best?" arguments only appeal to people who fear they might not be.

And I really like women, they are endlessly fascinating, and handy to have around.
