like i told in my previous post

it is not a matter of intelligence
it is a matter of interests

Interests make you concentrate on a subject for a very long time, like to play chess or to buy cloths. This constant training of your brain, by concentrating on interests, makes a brain works much efficiently. Other-words it makes it more intelligent, at least in the field of interest.



generally men are more competitive
modern society has abolished competitiveness
women feel better in such societies than men
The best example of male competitiveness is the last financial crises. Overwhelmingly male run financial institutions took too much of debt and risky deals. We need more women in banking system management to bring a proper balance in decision making.

the future will tell whether such societies are better or not
The trend of emancipation of women in our western societies is ongoing since late 18 hundreds. It is nothing new nor radical about this idea anymore. The process is practically over, except perhaps inequality in pay. We can easily compare the western world of now to the one 150 years ago to pull firm conclusions. We are the future, already. Make your mind.

It is clear, men are more competitive it is male nature.

I don’t appreciate societies where women have fewer rights than men (as in some Islamic countries), the rights must be equal.

And man (men) should compete with man (men), woman (women) should compete with woman (women).

Man and woman should enjoy, and support each other, not compete (to possible extent).

Situations in society are changing, for example in socialism in Serbia women were very protected by the system, and progress was grandiose.

Society didn’t support competitiveness.

Some men, traditionally behaved, felt insecure, because there were women more successful of them, it was big change from patriarchal society to a socialist society in which women have gained full affirmation.

But with crisis at beginning of nineties everything changed, income has fallen, and women lost their positions.

Today, society in Serbia is capitalist and highly competitive (in conditions of lower income), and such situation is much better suited to men than women (of course successful men, men who are better in mutual competition with another men).

Of course women can be leaders, top managers and entrepreneurs, everyone should use his or her abilities.

Male nature is to be leaders (it doesn’t mean necessary alpha male), self-confident and sure in themselves what is learn and build (men are learning and maturing the whole life).
 
Are men and women equal

Hell no!!!!!

EDIT: This video is very funny.

Edit: Seriously though men and women are equal in value. However differnt in behavior and roles. This is what the left doesn't understand. Equal=Same, is not true. Just let people act natural and not worry about gender representation.

I'm all for the enjoyment part, but that's after hours, so to speak. :) When I'm practicing my profession, I am directly competing against another person, that's the nature of my profession; there's nothing collaborative about it. More often than not that other person is a man. I give no quarter, and I expect none. Let the best "man" win, and that "man" is usually me, to toot my own horn. :) Oh, and it involves a great deal of strategic thinking, sometimes in preparation, but often on my feet as they say. Women, as well as men, come in different varieties.

Ed. I also don't at all buy this idea that women aren't competitive. They've always been competitive as heck in the "fields" open to them and remain so to this day, over looks, men, their children, even their houses and clothes. There are whole television shows devoted to the subject. Now that they are in other arenas, they're competitive there too. My daughter is a superb athlete, a better athlete than my son, in lacrosse, tennis, swimming, and she's extraordinarily competitive. I'm ashamed to admit that I've sometimes encouraged her to hold back just a trifle in the early courtship phases and not totally trounce a new boyfriend who might not be as adept as she is at all these things, but she absolutely won't hear of it. Her attitude is that if he can't take it that she's a better tennis player than he is, for example, he's not for her. Of course, there are some men who can beat her, but she doesn't much like it.:)

I'm not ready to make my mind on the basis of this.
The main basis for todays progress is because of the industrial revolution which happened in the early 18 hundreds.
This was a typical male achievement. You can argue women didn't have any part of it because they were not allowed. That is correct, but it was driven by technological improvements in a field in which most women are not interested by nature.
Well, even the digital revolution was mainly a male achievement, allthough it happened less then 50 years ago.
Now a medical revolution seems at hand, and that is a domain in which women are more interested.
There may come - I'm sure there will come - times when more male skills will be needed again. New challenges will arrive.

By the way, are you male or female? I always tought of you as a man, seeing your avatar.

You are a man - I now see your Y-DNA mentioned..

Not about professions but relationships.

My attitude is that my girlfriend can have her business which she wants or she can support my business.

But I will not allow that she has competitive business, she takes my clients and she cooperates with my competitors.

It is red line, if she does it, the end, she is not more my girlfriend.

It is why I say that competitiveness is not good between man and woman, it kills relationships.

There I agree, of course. I assure you that it's very rare that a man I bested at work wound up calling me up for a date, although strangely a few do...I put it down to masochism. They were never for me, but some men do like to be dominated. It takes all kinds to make the world go round.

Heck, that kind of competition would ruin not just a romantic relationship, but family relationships and friendships.

I admire strong and independent women. I was never afraid of their dominance or never I felt a need to be better than them, just to show who is the boss or for my satisfaction. Generally, I love strong independent people to have around of all sexs. The last thing I want to do is to make constant decisions for them, to lead them by hand and worry about them all the time.
 
what really sets women apart from men is sex drive. men want to bang pretty much any woman below a certain age and weight just by looking at them, women are the pickier sex, they are only interested in top tier men or in men who have something to offer in terms of resources and wealth. men have to work harder to find a partner and that alone is enough to give a totally different meaning to the male experience. in comparison any other difference or alleged difference pales or shrinks to insignificance.

I watched a presentation online that says you're exactly correct. Male and female sex brains are very differnt. Respect, personality, power, and money turn women all. While men for the most part only care about physical attraction. In a lot of ways women are the object men have to work to get.

But there are many more differences between men and women. Body and voice are two unignorable differences. Behavior is another one but harder to define.
 
Just because things are sometimes true, or even often true, doesn't mean they're always true. It's a mistake, in my opinion, to think in such stereotypical terms.

There are a lot of women who marry for love men who have nothing in terms of material possessions when they are courting or first married. I did it myself. All he had was a lot of college debt. :) If you're finding only women who want your money, you're looking in the wrong places.

There are women out there who partner with men who don't have a job and are alcoholics and/or drug addicts, and the women wind up supporting the whole family. It's happening more and more frequently because so many men want to be Peter Pan for the rest of their lives.

Human behavior can't be reduced to the kind of behaviors that have been described by some posters.

Nor are all men as highly sexed as the myth would have people believe; some just don't admit they're not. Trust me...women talk, and honestly, unlike men. It differs from individual to individual and even perhaps from group to group. While women who treat men as a sexual commodity may be in the minority, they exist, and the numbers are getting bigger all the time from what I can see. A lot of it has to do with power, which women never had, and the freedom from consequences brought by contraception. Speed of arousal and those kinds of things are different, but there's a lot of ED out there too and especially as men age, or so it seems from all the tv commercials.

True. We're just pointing out trends.
 
From a noted female geneticist, some insight on why it is still difficult for women to compete in certain very demanding fields:

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/15/science/evelyn-witkin-and-the-road-to-dna-enlightenment.html?_r=0

"Your career began in a time when there were tremendous barriers against women entering the sciences. How were you able to do it?
I think it, in part, was because I had a lot of support from men.
My late husband, Herman Witkin, an experimental psychologist, was a real feminist. He believed my career was as important as his. For 10 years, he commuted four hours every day to his work in Brooklyn so that I could keep mine at Cold Spring Harbor. When our second child was an infant, he had a sabbatical. He wrote a book with the baby in his lap most of the time."

"Some time in the 1950s, Vannevar Bush, who’d headed the Carnegie Institution of Washington — Cold Spring Harbor’s laboratory was its department of genetics — sent his college-age granddaughter to talk to me about family and career. “The secret,” I told her, “is to have a husband like Herman Witkin and boss like Vannevar Bush.”

How exactly was Bush helpful?
When I was pregnant with my first child, he came to my lab and said it was important to make scientific careers possible for women. What did I need? I told him, maternity leave and to return only part time. He said, “Done, and we’re not going to cut your salary because I know you’re going to do a full-time job.” That act alone made it possible for me to stay with my research."


That's the story in a nutshell. I'd add another man to the list: a woman's father. Practically every successful woman I've ever met had a father who validated her intelligence and drive and ambition; actually, more than validated them, he fostered them.
 
I got to say some of these comments are very funny, particularly those by people like Garrick. Saying that women should have "equal rights" yet can't compete against males, should only compete against females, etc. Talk about a hypocritical mindset - I guess women only have "rights" as long as those rights are convenient otherwise forget it.

I mean this really made me laugh


Key male advantage is not brutal strength.


Key advantage is strategic thinking.


How men developed better strategic thinking, probably due to hunting.


Women did not go to hunt and they did not develop strategic thinking as men.


To hunt animals especially large animals men had to make different strategies.


Really? I guess you don't know that some tribes have female hunters. The African Aka tribe for example - guys sit looking pretty babysitting while the wives go hunting. And that's just one tribe.


So what are they, aliens?




As for strategic thinking being a male only "skill" I call BS. I've seen plenty of men who are lucky they can think their way out of a wet paper bag without directions.




But then I am a woman, former military, and I have worked in VERY male dominated fields. This includes working security to help pay for my education at a mall infested with drug activity - drug dealers, gang members, and druggies - so bad that the police mostly turned a blind eye and would not step foot on the property unless someone was getting the sh&t kicked out of them or already dead. Or only when my male "strategic thinking" fellow security guards were threatened by guns after going up to two vehicles parked in the back, middle of nowhere, and banging on the passenger window - anyone with two eyes would know that that was a drug deal going down at 5000 paces.


Because I was always thinking, on the ball split second decisions, I never once had an issue at this mall for the 2 years I worked there. In fact, because I learnt swiftly the "lay of the land" I even ended up having the drug dealers - and a 6'4" tattooed like a road map patched Hellsangel member - actually going out of their way to tell me who among their "clients" were going to be an issue for the day or week.


It always makes me laugh, thinking back to that neighborhood and another mall I ended up working at, when two male security guards could not get a 18 year old boy [scrawny lanky runt] to go home and were actually thinking of charging him - as in tackling, etc. - despite how it was recorded three times this kid had been violent and oftentimes carried a weapon on him - he stabbed his step father with a broken wine bottle in broad daylight - and yet stepping out of my vehicle for shift change all I had to do was say his name and tell him to go home. He left shouting at the other "strategically thinking" male guards that I do 150% work for my job and these two were jokers.




I later went on to work in a mental health facility for the criminally insane. So by no means little wimps flexing muscle thinking themselves tough [we had cannibals, serial rapists, killers, psychopaths and sociopaths, etc.] I never had a run in because I was always thinking, again.




But if you equate strategic thinking with rush head first into situations - bull-headed, act first, think later - behavior then yes... males take that cake. Intelligent women are as strategically thinking if not more so because a) we're smaller and oftentimes physically weaker so it'd be hard to go one on one with some nut [you have to think on your feet how to handle a situation as a woman while men mostly rely on their strength].


Ultimately though, no women are not equal. Intelligence wise, yes certainly - my neighborhood here is plagued by "cool" guys who drive up and down a residential street well beyond the speed limit despite multiple signs saying school zone, school crossing, autistic & deaf children. Skill wise, certainly - or we wouldn't have a number of luxuries that men & women use to pamper their arses on a daily basis [a number of inventions are due to women].


Employment wise - hahah. Joke. My cousin graduated early in her engineering class, top of the class, her "job" is little more than a receptionist for some all boys' club company.


And I will say that. I believe in women's rights, equality, etc. However, within reason.


Don't scream "unfair" because you don't get your way... such modern-day attitude of so-called "feminist" probably makes the original feminists [who did voting, etc] roll in their graves. Even I get fed up with women screaming unfair - there was some "doctor" in the UK a couple months, a year maybe, who bitched she wasn't been taken seriously by her patients - she dressed in tight clothes, wore too much makeup, and dyed her hair blonde. I'd not have taken her seriously either.

you seem to have chip on your shoulder.

Ii personally dont find women who have mentality of just waiting to stick it up to the man very attractive.


My guess you wouldn't either find a man who just wont to stick it up to the women attractive either, you would probably think about him as sexist *******



It seems in new age there is a some kind of complex of women towards men building up by media and such, and i think its cancerous to society and civilization, men dont fear successful women, i think we are disgusted by them, because as i said before women like that usually are of mentality mentioned above.

Problem of course comes from sexes, and competitive nature of businesses, men dont have problem fighting other men, most of us find it natural actually, but fighting another women, men will either go batshit crazy and become sexist as a form of self defense, or withdraw

So my conclusion is that this trend if it continues, we will see more and more sexist men fighting sexist women, its a nature of competition. Is it a good thing or not, its up to every individual to decide

Since all humans are conceived as females ( about 6weeks after, if one has a Y chromosome does then one become a male ) then the fault of unequal
ity begins with "modern religions" starting from Judaism. These religions began the propaganda of inequality in our society and still persists today especially in Islam religion.

The covering of the body by clothes of one's sex further portrays the female as inferior.

The fight by females must begin against these religions of Islam, Christian, Judaism etc to eventually gain what I expect to be equal ...............
 
The covering of the body by clothes of one's sex further portrays the female as inferior.

i dont think thats the case, it may derived into that in Islam today, but original intention was probably to protect women from horny men.

Men sexuality is visual, we get turned on by female bodies, and in more archaic stage of civilization, where chopping of limbs and heads was commonplace you see on the streets, men were probably not expected to suppress their urges as are today, hell even today men are incapable of doing so, especially during puberty
 
NO,men are superior,no doubt,kuran confirm this.

Do not worry, you like all of us where conceived as female .............the propaganda by religions has influenced your sense of reasoning .

The Kuran like the Bible and all other religious books was written by men as propaganda for their superiority............these writers where insecure with themselves as men
