Now, when I have a conversation with a woman about this, she takes offense.
Often, she says, “You’re still single, right?” or “No woman will ever marry you. You think you’re better than women, don’t you?”
“No. No. You have me all wrong,” I say. “I don’t think I’m better than women. I know I’m not. For instance, I’m a lousy cook, but that has nothing to do with what I’m talking about here.”
“Then, what are you talking about?” She says with her hands on her hips and her teeth bared.
“Just that, in every competitive arena, men dominate.”
“No, that’s not true. Women are just as good as men. We are equal to men.”
“No, you’re not. You are brainwashed. Men are better at Basketball, Boxing, Soccer, Swimming, etc.”
“Okay, men have more upper body strength, but that’s it.”
“No. Men are intellectually superior. The grand masters of chess are all men. The geniuses of mathematics and physics are all men. The greatest painters, sculptors, and inventors are all men. Think Leonardo Davinci, Michael Angelo, Picasso, Einstein, Edison, Tesla. This is a universal truth.”
She pouts. “Women have intrinsic value. Why can’t you see that?”
“I know women have intrinsic value, I just can’t stand when they say they are equal to men, and they can compete with men. All the evidence says otherwise.”
“Women will get the wrong impression of you. They will think you are better than them.”
“I don’t think I’m better than them. All people have value.”
“That’s what God thinks.”
“I know, and it’s written in the Bible that the woman is the weaker vessel, and that the woman wishes to take the man’s place. It says that in Genesis, as part of the curse on humanity. Don’t you see that as being true in society? Women want to become like men. Men want to become like women. People are confused because they are believing the lies of the devil. Men have turned away from God and they are following after their own lusts. Women can’t respect men because men don’t follow God. Women are leading men into madness. Adam listened to Eve, and that was the downfall of mankind. If man had listened to God, we would not be in this sorry state.”
“How can you blame the fall of humanity on a woman?”
I’m not. Adam listened to his wife. He should’ve listened to God.”
“I’m worried about you.”
Sorry, but this one is too misogynistic, full of ultra conservative, stutus quo propaganda. Acutall history debucks most of your arguments.

I guess I’ll have to read more history. One can always learn more.

At least you’re open to more learning. Sadly, many are not. Thank you.

The most misinformed blog post I’ve read.
When a man sets a standard by which to compare, you are dealing with a singular male bias. You have also shown a male bias by deciding which activities or viruses you want to include.
You have lost the notion that men and women were meant to compliment each other.

That’s encouraging for me. Sometimes, I wonder if my honesty goes too far, but at this point in my life, I have to be honest. There isn’t much time left.
