Women have:

... 45-50% less upper body strength and 25-30% less aerobic capacity, which is essential for endurance...

I fly that NATO combat trainer ... I have dumped a lot of guys when we went up to do a rat chase/fur ball/dog fight ....I have never been shot down (so to speak) by any guy. Those trainers pull 9gs positive and 3g’s negative ... we don’t wear g-suits when we do it. I’m 5’7 and weight 120 .....

Our ancestors were hunter/gatherers. Men had to chase down food, and women had to look for berries and roots etc..Thats why women still love looking for berries and roots, but they do it at the local supermarket...A man picks up a watermelon and puts it in his basket. The woman on the other hand looks them over, thumps them with their knuckles and check out the color...same thing in a clothing store, use to drive my husband nuts and finally one day he said "Do you have to touch everything in the store?" to which I replied "Yep"...

Upper body strength doesn't help in childbirth either. A man sees the charging elephant and the woman looks down for snakes and spiders...

Everyone except the feminists and newpaper reporters know we are not equal but complimentary..

True, donna, but don’t we also have much more strength in our thighs than men do? And, because of our higher percentage of body fat, can’t we endure lower temps, like cold water, a bit longer than men?

I really like being a woman. I have talents and abilities that men generally do not have, and happily, I am married to a man who respects these, and listens carefully to me when I exercise them.

Life is just the best when men and women work together as a team, using the unique talents of each to the maximum, and teaching our children to do the same.

women do have better hand/eye coordination which makes them naturally better at aiming a pistol and hitting the target first try.
