Are women really weaker than men?

? Great example of another sexist attitude. It has been proven that men married to women actually increase their own lifespan and live longer than unmarried men. Women live longer regardless of their martial status, with some studies finding that unmarried women tend to live a bit longer on average.
And an indoor cat lives longer than an outdoor cat…staring longingly out of the window at the freedom he will never have and the things he will never experience.

Just kidding! :p. That’s part of a stand up routine I heard once, and it cracked me up. A little playful back and forth between the sexes is a good thing though. Its good to be able to laugh at yourself.

A little sense of humor on my part. Sorry to have offended you.
 
The latest round in the current battle of the sexes opened [as far as I can recall] with the feminist statement that, “Women can do anything men can do.” That quickly mutated into the belief that any woman can do anything any man can do. This was shown not to be the case in a karate demonstration on TV in a match between a woman student and male instructor. Midway through, you could tell the woman was getting angry because she was losing. To end it, the instructor doubled her over with a kick to the mid-section. The slow-motion replay showed that he didn’t extend his leg fully, IOW, he pulled his punch.
 
Physically weaker in some ways but definately not others (try childbirth guys !)

Maybe not more religious but possibly better at abiding by moral teachings (especially sexual ones).

In short not weaker but DIFFERENT and hopefully complimentary to the strength and weaknesses of men

Why does praising that we are different always be taken as an accusation of inferiority ?

SIGH. I knew someone was going to bring up childbirth to “prove” women were stronger physically.

That makes as much sense as saying that minnows are stronger than human beings because they can swim across the ocean, or bluebirds than humans because they can fly.

I’m writing off this whole discussion, and just focusing on one simple fact: we are individuals, created in the likeness of our Lord.

Yes, there may be differences between men and women, but we are all individuals with our own particular vices and virtues, strengths and weaknesses. Let’s not lose sight of that.

When you start lumping people into groups, whether by gender or race or religion or anything else and defining them by those features then you lose sight of their worth as an individual and a child of God.

:confused:So you watched a female karate student get beaten up by her male karate **teacher **on tv. That’s disgusting. Did you enjoy that? Why are you sharing this?

That is not relevant to the the point of this thread since the OP seemed to be asking a thoughtful and serious question they had on their mind after reading religious based text.
 
I dunno. I’ve heard that the uterus is the strongest muscle in a human. Since men don’t have one, we can’t compete. 😃

Men do tend to make up for it in every other muscle, however.
Men in general have more upper body strength than women, but the thing about the uterus is true. Women also have a higher pain tolerance than men. 😃
 
Within radical feminism however, there’s this female supremacy being promoted. What do I mean? Before, the feminist slogan was “Women can do everything a man can do.” Now, it’s “We are the superior species, we don’t need you wastes of space.” The only people I’ve seen react to this with the proper outrage are men’s rights activists.
 
I’ve been beaten up by women on more than one occasion (don’t ask me why). You can cite stats on muscle mass but not every guy’s an Arnie people.

Oh and yeah, muscle mass won’t compensate for that one weakspot exclusive only to men. Believe me. >_>

It’s odd. Whenever someone attacks me down there, it doesn’t hurt.

You must have had some serious endurance training (yes, it’s actually possible as I’ve seen it on TV) or something along those lines. o.O

Sadly, no. I’m just the kind of guy that when attacked, fights back with 10x more ferocity.
 
As far as religion goes, your perception is likely due to having (I assume) lived your life in a Christian/Post-Christian culture. In Christianity, more women than men tend to be very religious. In every other major religion, from Judaism and Islam to Hinduism and Buddhism, more men than women tend to be very religious. Perhaps the difference is that our concept of “religious” is too universal, and it would be more accurate to say that more women than men tend to be “very Christian” while more men than women tend to be “very Buddhist”, for instance.
Your point is well made and is something I have often thought about. While I realize the topic has been discussed in numerous other threads around here, I do wonder if your accurate observation has at least some roots in the issue of Christianity, and Latin rite Catholicism in particular, taking on or existing within a kind of feminized / passive framework – the kind of mindset summed-up by the phrase “women’s work.” One cannot imagine that mindset existing within Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, etc. I would even go so far as to say that my friends in other rites of the Catholic church similarly do not seem to reflect the kind of “feminized” mindset that I’ve seen played-ouy in the relative absence of men in Latin rite parishes. Please note that this is a cultural, not theological, observation.
