Do feminists really believe women can do anything a man can do ?

Question

I mean that lincludes projects like the moon landing realizing the latest ferrari or inventing something on the line of the submarine.

Iam not surprised you have no idea. Maybe this helps.

Yes I heard of mercury (I believe it was 7 ?). After thousands of years of research done by men some women got their panties in a twist when men did not put women in the rocket engeneered and built by men. And what has that to do with anything ? The Astronauts were not applauded for their skills but for their bravery to enter a giant rocket for an high risk mission engeneered by an ex Nazi and former mortal enemy that has claimed like a dozen deaths before, not for their skills.

Carrie yes I suck at 1 of the 4 languages I speak sorry about that. Maybe you can show me how to deal with 4 different languages.
However Iam glad you are still understanding enough to whine and bitc
Iam not talking about the ordinary here, but about peak performance and when it comes to realizing a top sports car projects that were considered unthinkabel only years ago etc. I do believe that that person will have a penis. As for the odrinary I also believe that most women are ordinary, so are a lot of men.

And while Iam unlikely to be the one to realize interstellar travel (in fact iam prety certain I will not) or be listed among the men mankind will boost about I managed to repair my Vcr fix a dvd player change the clutch in my car tweak my graphic board making a profit on the stock market on a daily basis etc..

Jurydoc what you cited has been put there due to political correctness to appease the likes of you.
FACT the vast majority of nobel prizes in hard topics patents and inventions are done and held by men the reason is a man is more likely to excel at certain topics due to biological reasons and it doesnt look like that is going to change anytime soon.

Jurydoc inventing the submarine and everything around it to make it swim and submerege and inventing a usefull tool to attatch onto it isnt in the same league you have to admit that.

MAYBE the difference between gender is far more than the chromosone. It doesnt only affect strentgh and reproductive organs but also the artitecure of the brain especially the ratio of white matter to grey matter.

Answer 1

Ever heard of the Mercury 13?? These were WOMEN who trained just like men to be astronauts in the Mercury 7 program. Put through the paces and, in many instances, OUTPERFORMED the men, but were still not allowed to go simply because they were women!!! Not only can women do anything men can do, they can do a coupla more--have a baby and nurse it!!

UPDATE: Did you even read the article you cited?? The following quotes are directly from it:

"Researchers stressed that just because the two sexes think differently, this does not affect intellectual performance."

"These findings suggest that human evolution has created two different types of brains designed for equally intelligent behavior"

" Scientists find it very interesting that while men and women use two very different activity centers and neurological pathways, men and women perform equally well on broad measures of cognitive ability, such as intelligence tests."

And maybe a woman didn't invent the submarine, but one sure made it more useful! In 1845, Sarah Mather received a patent for the invention of a submarine telescope and lamp. This was a remarkable device that permitted sea-going vessels to survey the depths of the ocean.

Answer 2

I think this is a fair criticism of feminism. Jobs like Police, Firefighters, and the Military have physical standards for a reason. If they're not met, people (including the workers themselves) could get severely injured or die. Now don't get me wrong, I believe anybody who meets those standards should have an equal chance at these jobs, but lowering those standards doesn't make it "fair" it makes it dangerous.

Answer 3

Feminists by definition are people who believe that men and women should be equal in social, political, and ecomonical aspects. So yes they would

realizing the latest ferrari? What do you mean? I don't correlate that with gender types....
The only real difference between a man and a woman is men have a y chromosome and women don't which can be fixed if you want .... so besides that not just feminists but most people believe that women can do everythign and anything a man can do with or without the y....

Answer 4

To all of the above examples, yes.

EDIT--And WHAT, exactly, do you think your link proves? You are trying to make the argument that men are MORE CAPABLE at (blah, blah, blah) when your OWN SOURCE states (more than once) that men and women have the same intellectual abilities, they just use different processes.
From your own source:
"Researchers stress that just because the two sexes think differently, this does not affect intellectual performance."
And:
"Scientists find it interesting that while men and women use two very different activity centers and neurological pathways, men and women perform equally well on broad measures of cognitive ability, such as intelligence tests."
Again, (and I know this is something that you don't "get", but I'm trying to be patient) "different" does not necessitate inequality. Your source just proves that your argument is completely without merit...and perhaps that your reading skills are a tad lacking.

Answer 5

Do you think women suddenly started accomplishing leaps and bounds within the engineering and scientific fields in the past 10-30 years because they started becoming educated and experienced in these fields or because they started drinking magical man juice?

Most USA colleges did not admit women into the math and sciences programs until the 1960s. Even then, some had to admit women under court order.

Please don't confuse women's past alleged underachievements because of lack of education (and therefore, opportunity) with your delusion of lack of natural ability.

Answer 6

My wife has yet to learn how to open a door whenever I'm around or how to get Her coat from the cloakroom when I'm with Her. Other than that She seems totally capable of doing anything I can do.

Answer 7

What you are saying is about as ignorant as saying minorities can't be of any use. According to you, only certain inventions can be created by men. In the hypothetical sense, just imagine the wonderful things women can create if given the chance. Perhaps even time travel will be easier for a woman to discover. Who knows...

Answer 8

Do you think your penis somehow puts you on the same level as all the brilliant people who have done amazing things throughout history? You can barely formulate sentences or arguments, so I think it's safe to say that not all men are geniuses. Intelligence has nothing to do with gender, so of course a smart woman can do the same things a smart man can do.

Answer 9

Anything intellectually without a doubt.

Here you can check out for yourself just some of the accomplishments made by women in the sciences. Oh that is right you never actually read answers to your baited questions, much less their sources. You are exactly the reason feminism is still an important movement. And also let me tell you (cause I am pissed) and to back up the fellow who said the top 1000+ inventions ...by men... Hello why do you think feminism came to be because before it; women were forbidden from the intellectual platform in which to invent? And now that we got it we "ain't" ever stepping down.

Answer 10

My lil' sis is 1 year younger than me and can do and outperform me at almost anything the exception being at speaking Spanish but that's just because she choose to learn French instead. Of my older siblings they are also pretty much equal. If you can find one thing that I can do that my sister can't do either please tell me. And before you add she's stronger than me (and I'm stronger than most guys I know).
