- What difference does it make? Women have some advantage over men in certain
- sports. Women also have certain mental (and emotional) capabilities that men
- do not. But no matter what their culture, women do not, have not, and (probably)
- will not ever equal men in upper body strength. Genetic, cultural - it makes no
- difference - women (average) are physically inferior to men (average).
-
- It has NOTHING to do with culture. No matter how hard a woman works out, she
- will NEVER be able to achieve the same physical strength of a man who works out
- just as hard - never. Genetic? Of course. That's the same reason not all men can
- build up like Schwarzenegger - they are not genetically equipped - and that's
- a well documented fact (pick up any muscle magazine).
-
- It disgusts me that some men choose to abuse their physical superiority over
- women by raping them. It's too bad their such wimps that they feel they have
- to control another human in that way - why don't they pick on someone their
- own size? ---- Oh, sorry, I got a little sidetracked...
