why are we women indenial that men are stronger and smarter?

Question

men are physically and mentally more stronger, it's a known fact , so why are SOME women thinking they can do anything that a guy can?and i mean WITHOUT taking any pills , just naturally?

Answer 1

actually, women are proven to be smarter then men, but men are stronger then women. we got the brains, they got the muscells

Answer 2

Lets start with the nots

First, You are not a woman. No woman anywhere would ask such a ridiculous question with such an obvious male biased slant. If however I am not correct..then I suggest you seriously work on your self-esteem. If you are actually a woman, maybe this will help you get started in that direction: I hate to see another woman buy into the antiquated views of a passe social construct :)


It is not a known fact that men are smarter or more mentally adept. The person with the highest IQ on record (according to guiness) is a woman. Marilyn Vos Savant ( she clocks in at 228) average IQ is approx 100...

Researchers believe intelligence may be inherited (like male pattern baldness) through the female.

Girls develop faster than boys in speech, writing and social communication skills. The first novel ever written was "the tale of the genji" which was written by Murasaki Shikibu, a woman.

Men may corner the market on physical prowess (depending on the man) but I wonder if your reference to "taking pills" means the steroid enhancement of professional body builders and the like...last time I checked most professional athletes are checked (both male AND female) for such artifical enhancers. Which would indicate that even men,(those paragons of physical virtue) feel the need to take pills in order to compete.

So to sum up...SOME women think they can do anything a man can do, because not only is it possible for them to do it, they already are.

Answer 3

Because some can. Not all men are that strong, and not all women are that weak. In fact, men are taught something that women should know. "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, as much as the size of the fight in the dog." Physical strength won't get you as far as determination.

I also wouldn't in anyway say that men are smarter than women. We tend to process information differently, which can make communication tricky, but that's not a lack of intelligence as much as a different perspective on life. Obviously, some people are smarter than others, but I don't think that breaks down by gender.

Now, I'm curious about these smart pills. Where does one find those? ;)

Answer 4

Those women in denial you talk about must be the women in your family darling...some men are physically stronger and some other are smarter. It is not a competition of gender where there are obviously marked and healthy differences...at the end both men and women have to step in when the other one is falling.

There are 8 types of intelligence and both men and women spend a healthy share of them, your DNA speaks a lot regarding physical strenght and a lot regarding the areas where your intelligence is stronger. Be cool.

Answer 5

A. Men have the capability to BECOME physically stronger but aren't always... I had to carry a 240 pound man up a hill over my shoulder because another man couldn't do it... and no I don't take any drugs...I just get in trouble a lot and end up doing a lot of push ups....

B. Smarter? Are you crazy? Where is the proof of that? Men have waffle like brains when women have spaghetti like ones. Men tend to be great at organizing things in their head and figuring things out one by one and going in depth with all of them. Women think about many things at once and how they correlate. Our minds work well together... but they work 2 different ways so you can't compare them.

Physically, yes, they are designed to be able to do more heavy lifting... our brains... umm no. Your wrong there.

Answer 6

Aha, I see you have thrown a rather worn gauntlet.

First, your "facts" may not be correct. Are you relying on the UK study by Irwing and Lynn stating men have a 5 point higher IQ rate? That study has been found to not necessarily be indicative of the general population and could, in fact, have nuances unaccounted for in the final analysis. Additionally, those five point differences were found to relate to the super-intelligent rather than men as a mass thereby laying waste to claims such as yours that men in general are intellectually superior.

With regards to your other postulation, men are physically stronger as a whole but that only matters when a great difference in physical volume or strength is the final determinate. For instance - merely to show a scenario that explains how this isn't necessarily of value - a woman with a gun is superior to any man who is unarmed. The gun makes it so. Ergo, if a woman is armed because she feels a need to equal the differences between herself and men she becomes superior to many men she encounters.

And, while men have superior muscle mass to most women, women have superior endurance to men. One does not mean that either gender is superior overall, merely that in some instances men will outperform while in others women will.

I would suggest you read about Jan Todd, PHD if you need proof that women can perform feats of physical strength most men cannot perform and do it without drugs as well as perform on a highly intellectual level.

Most women do not think they can do anything a man can. I am a woman. I cannot lift more weight than my husband who does strength training exercise, for example. However, I can lift more weight than most men because I, too, train for strength. As for intelligence, I invite you to compare my reply to your original post and speculate who is more capable of cohesive thought. After you do that, compare my meager attempt to answer your questions to those of many men and you will find some of their answers to be equally if not more enlightening. Marliyn vos Savant could certainly put all of us to shame with a response.

Now, here is the real question: Why does it matter? Is it not better to celebrate the diversity between men and women? Why must one be proclaimed superior at all? In short, why did you feel it necessary to throw the gauntlet in the first place?

Answer 7

Perhaps man are stronger physically than women. I give you that, but there are certain aspect where woman are stronger than man.

So to say man or woman are stronger than the other. There is a yes and no to it. However, men and woman can't be compare because, they each have strength and weakness in different area. For example, physically, mentally and emotionally.

Answer 8

Naturally, without any kind of physical enhancement, I do believe that men are, generally, stronger than women. But, smarter, I tend to doubt. I am not afraid to admit that, physically, men are often stronger than women.

Answer 9

I don't deny the fact that men are physically stronger than men it is well known scientific fact. But I don't think either sex is superior mentally we come out pretty even en that score there are as many brilliant women out there as there are men.

Answer 10

Stronger? No one's in denial about that, although there are varying degrees of strength. Smarter? We're not in denial about that, either, because men are not smarter than women. Then again, women are also not smarter than men. Intelligence is not biologically decided, if anything it's cultural.

Answer 11

ok, wat the heck.so ur telling me that "men are naturally stronger and smarter",yet the majority of my 7th grade 9th grade algabra math class was not boys,but girls.if guys were smarter,they would all b in the class, and there would b no girls,as for stronger?think of wat we have to go through as girls.menastration(guys,u have no idea how painful it can b)child birth,etc. women also generally do more house work. the only reason y guys seem to generally b stronger,is because they arent normally the ones staying home watching the kids,doing the laundry,makeing meals,and all that,they have more time to b at the gym. but thats just my personal opinion.
