| Are men better than women?
|

Men do not believe that they are better than women - at least not most of them. Men do believe, because we are rational, intelligent, and connected to reality, that men and women are different - and there are many ways in which men (as a group) are superior to women (as a group) and vice versa.
Say what you will, men are physically superior to women. No woman has ever shown that she can compete with her own male peers in professional athletics. And we all instinctively know that women are not as capable as men when it comes to physical strength - this is, in fact, admitted by feminists, who traverse land, sea, and air trying to get physical requirements for military, fire, and police forces lowered so that more women can participate.
Men and women (as groups) also reason differently. While women excel at the kind of thinking that allows them to gather a lot of information from varying sources and keep track of it all, men are much better at delving deeply into a topic and obtaining mastery of complex abstractions. If you doubt this statement, see the links below.
Women excel in situations in which empathy is an integral part of life - like working with children (elementary school teachers) and the sick (nursing). Women also excel in situations in which an appreciation for beauty is necessary - be they artists, cosmetologists, models, or whatever.
However, feminism denies each of the propositions above, and simply says that because society expects different things from boys and girls, boys and girls excel at different things. But for now 40 years women have been being prodded into doing more (perceivedly) "male" things - joining the military, becoming a CEO, becoming lawyers and MBA's - and they have not made a dent at all. The reason is not that men are better than women, it is that men and women are "differently-abled."
Feminism is based on illogic, naivete, and sheer emotion. The evidence of that is apparent in debate between feminists and anti-feminists, where only those who oppose feminism ever actually reason out their answers. Feminists have a few stock retorts, ranging from "Stupid!" to "Sexist!" to "Stereotypes!" to censure or censor based on politically-correct assumptions, thus delegitimizing the evidence of how wrong they are. If feminists were right, and they know this, they would not have to resort to emotionalism, namecalling, sloganeering, or attempting to hush the other side.
Men are not better than women. But men and women are decidedly different. To say that is not prejudice, sexism, or stereotyping - it is reality.

I'll probably get in trouble for saying this, as I'm a woman, and should oppose your statements, but, I agree. I moved form a female-dominated working environment to a male-dominated one recently, and what you said is so true. Men are more logical, while woman use their emotions to make decisions. I'm loving working with the guys, It's just so uncomplicated. On the physical differences, I also agree. Men will always be superior in that. They can open bottles!!!! I do however see myself as an independent woman, but I have to admit that I have needed a strong, logical man quite a few times. Now, I have another question on this, something I've struggled with. Why can't men respect that a woman would choose to be alone, independent? I still have to meet the man that wouldn't think I'm available, just because I'm single. They just don't get that one, yet.
