Men and women really are different. The findings of hard science – in endocrinology, brain structure and function and genetics, for instance – have forced rational feminists to admit that, statistically speaking, men and women have different aptitudes, interests and responses, little though this is yet understood. Such generalisations never apply to an individual, of course, and although – for instance – women are underrepresented at the extremes of intelligence and statistically are less good at higher maths, chess, musical composition and physics, any one woman might be brilliant.
Similarly, while women tend in general to be less aggressive and more conciliatory, there are plenty of ferocious females and Wodehouse aunts, and plenty of men who are shrinking violets – with obvious implications for their working lives.
The point here, and it’s another centrally important fact, which feminists either don’t know or refuse to admit, is that you would not therefore necessarily expect men and women to be equally represented in any particular occupation. The fact that just two out of 25 top maths dons or bond traders or gangmasters are men, say, is not self-evidently due to discrimination against women mathematicians, bond traders or gangers (although it may be). And this underlies an obvious killer fact for the politics of equality: equality of opportunity is not the same thing as equality of outcome.
It is a dangerous mistake doggedly to pursue equality of outcome and equal numbers of men and women in everything. The entire basis of the gender equality movement, equality by numbers, stems from an unquestioned and wrong assumption, taken as fact in defiance of the actual truth.
The tragedy of feminism is that it has been dogged, or perhaps I should say bitched, by a lot of fixed ideas and unquestioned beliefs.

Guys fight because men are aggressive. If you can't hold your own space in a rough bar then someone else will own it.
It was a three mile drive there and back but worth it. My town consists of one gas station/market, a restaurant and a bar. The total population now is around 2500 ...
I go to what you might call a foo-foo bar ... it’s a sports bar where mostly college people go ... big screen TV to watch sports and sometimes a live band on weekends. Never been a fight although sometimes there was ‘agressive’ behavior ... hah .....
In the rough bars you get to see a non PC world where government power does not dictate social, racial and gender interaction.
In rough bars nature rules.
Agression is not limited to males only. If you do not believe Me, I have a bonkers ex-roomate of Mine I would be only too happy to introduce you to. Her attentions, you are more than welcome to, lol.
You and I would get along famously, luv!
There is a reason that both sexes find a cat fight harmless and amusing and non threatening but find many male fights dangerous, violent and sometimes deadly.
Watch people when men fight, there is a lot of tension because no one knows what levels it may reach or if it will spill over to include other men. They also know that even if the fight ends with out terrible loss that it may only be a beginning and that the final act is not yet played.
And thus you learn that my post #15 was prescient, LOL.
If I flew a Nato combat trainer, hell, I’d be bragging too...
Oh boy, you just stepped into a pile of steaming shi!. Hope you survive :O)
Anything Chocolate is good, I also have beside me a bag of dark chocolate Hershey kisses, my fat ass wouldn’t fit into one of your planes....be careful....:O)
One of my favorite songs of Toby Keith is “I love this Bar”
Curious, just a question, Why do men love cat fights between women?
I saw “Roadhouse” great movie ...
You’d drive three miles round trip for a Dove bar? My kinda guy ....
Gotcha ... I do carry a small bag of Dove Bar chocolates when I fly .... Thanks! :)
The point is that you need a big ol’ machine to do it.
FOFLOL!!! No, you ninny! I meant about the type of towne preferences we both share. *grin*
Of course, if your only target is chocolate... then no, it will never work out between us. I give ice-cream a fifty-fifty chance as well, lol.
Besides, everyone knows the Snickers bar is the greatest achievement of humankind, so now you owe Me for slandering The Food Of The Gods!
*grin*
I don't know, I hate to see women degrading themselves. I also don't enjoy the lesbian thing that everyone seems to go for. Starting in High School I had a habit of taking out two girls at once but I never wanted them to be in bed with me at the same time or to go lesbian with each other. I like women to be discreet and lady like. If they have a wild streak fine but it should be about fun and loud laughter (and not being jealous of my other date), not pulling hair and rolling on the ground in front of a mocking crowd.
I’ve never seen it but I hear that people like it.
