Women in the military and a sexist world.

I agree with sandmann on pretty much every word.

Even if stereotypes ARE wrong, there are still significant amounts of people who fit that stereotype - why would it be there in the first place if it weren't?

Moose, it's all about trends, statistics, whatever. A woman is MORE LIKELY to be weak.

You're missing the point. I'm not saying that EVER man is better than EVERY woman at EVERYTHING phsyically demanding. I'm saying that men as a whole are better at physical activities, and women as a whole are better than men at rearing children. It's a fact. Sure, any woman can train incredibly hard and probably be better than the guy who sits his fat ass on a couch all day, but I guarantee that if a man and a woman train equally as hard, both with (relative) equivalent starting fitness, that the man will beat the woman (at a race, long jump, football, etc.) every time. You can't deny that.

Ya, I agree with that. Men are usually stronger... but that does not negate the fact that women can be strong too. So, we're on the same page, great. I think that everyone about agrees with that.

Yes... no need to argue.

I understand you Keira.

I think it would be cool if we met an alien race that instead of being male and female or asexual, required 3 sexes to reproduce. Just think how their society would be.

I once watched a show called First Wave, where aliens were growing human bodies to live in and disguise them on earth. On their planet in their natural form, sex between males and females was very painfull and they only did it when they had to (to reproduce). When they came to earth though, and mixed their DNA with human DNA, they were essentially human and they felt all the things that humans felt. They found that human sex was very pleasureable and everytime one of their leaders visited earth they just had to try out human sexual intercourse. At first they laughed at humans for their addictiveness to sex, but when they tried it they became addicted themselves. It was so hilarious because it became a drug to them and was a serious blight on their society, because they were thinking of and having sex alot, thus hindering their mission to take over earth! :lol:
