Why women have difficulties crossing streets?

It's only because the societal implications of possessing a penile reproductive organ, along with the illogical feeling of superiority regardless of the fields and their required skills, makes it difficult for the penis owner to avoid irrational, and misplaced arguments.

 

In all honesty I don't believe I'm better than women. I acknowledge that we are different in some ways, and have a tendency to excel in different areas of expertise. Whether that is due to how we're raised, or the result of a difference in biology, is hard to say. Have you considered that men and women have gone down different avenues for a reason?

I don't believe my argument was illogical or misplaced. I simply said that to point out that, you don't know for sure whether the reason there are no female F1 drivers is due to societal upbringing, or actual differences in ability. Though, you've made it sound like you do know that to be the case.. based on what I'm not entirely sure. Both F1 racing and strongman are dominated by men, so seems like a valid comparison. For you, it seems that because male dominance in strongman is obviously the result of male ability, the same can't be true for racing, despite the fact that the evidence (male domination) suggests otherwise. You've opted for a speculative scenario that is even more difficult to prove.

 

I do consider societal influence to be the strongest instigator in gender roles. Car racing as an example. If there are female pilots driving planes, and female astronauts then it's obviously not a 'biological' deficiency that is preventing women from an activity like car racing.

Don't forget that in the middle east, females decided to join the militia infantry and defended themselves against terrorists bravely. There is also a Nat Geo documentary about female rangers fleeing their oppressive backgrounds and devoting themselves to protecting elephants. This is enough for me to believe that my explanations aren't speculative as yours are shallow. If anything, those two former cases proves the people involved have a keen sense of spacial awareness and survival instinct.

 

Car racing and flying planes are entirely different things. We're literally talking about spatial awareness here.. have you ever watched nascar? You're surrounded to by several other vehicles on a small track, travelling at extremely high speeds. How you think that's any way similar to casually flying a plane which is mostly automated, is beyond me. Female astronauts..?

Regarding societal influence, did you read what I said? Have you considered that there is a reason, perhaps a biological reason, that men and women explore different avenues? Like.. not just a "car racing is manly" thing? You do know there are plenty of "tom boy" women in the world right. What's stopping them from competing in car racing?

I almost forgot, thanks for reminding me. Technology does work wonders. Guns tend to even the playing field when it comes to self defense.

 

This is extremely sexist!

 

I think the only way we would ever know the answer to this question is if all societal standards were removed completely for several generations. If we explore ancient human history, we would see that men and women did the same things. However, since there are a lot more options for professions to choose from these days, the biological aspect could be an interesting phenomenon to consider.

 

At the time of prehistory, where our ancestors focused mainly on surviving. There wasn't much of a choice regarding the 'avenues' people had to explore. Because everyone had to master the necessary skills needed to survive, females and males equally. It's a common misconception to imagine our early ancestors had the same rigid gender roles that appeared after agriculture, men hunting and women doing home(cave)care. Everyone , who was skilled in hunting, participated in group hunting.

If we also take that into consideration, the reasons behind this avenue issue can mostly be qualified as societal. The tomboys you talk about are also busy exploring other interesting male dominated fields, such as soccer, rap music, basketball and possibly even car racing.

 

No IGY, I just responded using the same tone. It's only sarcasm, don't worry.

 

This, or maybe old ideas and perceptions still persist in the minds of many.

 

Flying a plane does require spatial awareness because of the Coriolis illusion. In case you didn't know

 

True. We may never know if biology plays a role. Certainly not in our lifetimes

 

I am way less inclined to pin most gendered behaviors on biology. Certainly on societal upbringing.

 

Let me help you out.. you seem to be having trouble. Excuse me, while i mansplain. Women have a body that is entirely based around birthing children. Do you think pregnant women in prehistoric time were out hunting? I can't believe its taken this thread 3 pages to bring up the fact that the biology of women is oriented around child birth. You have a monthly cycle, which impacts your health. This is where the difference in roles AND abilities stems from. It's why "societal standards" regarding men and women's roles have existed since the beginning of time.

No one said women don't have spatial awareness.. we are comparing women to men in that regard.

 

While some women were pregnant, it doesn't imply that the rest will be as well. And might still be ready to participate in hunting. And like recent archeological research has shown, at the 'beginning of time' humans didn't have societal standards around gender, regarding actively contributing to the community's survival.

Also, even if we are to assume that women's bodies are entirely based around birthing children, it won't exclude them by default from hunting activities. After all looking at matters from a reproductive stand means to assume both male and female bodies serve reproduction. Regardless of other activities.

And to answer you, my monthly cycle doesn't impact my physical health. It only can make me slightly sleepy. But on the psychological level, it turns me into a fearless beast and enhances my survival instincts.

 

And assuming men are better without lifting all the societal upbringing, and removing old ideas about gender standards from each person's mind is merely speculations.

 

I guess you've forgotten what happens after a pregnant woman births a child. Nursing... I mean, you have a 9 month process, followed by however long breastfeeding takes, followed by constant supervision needed. My guess is, 10 times out of 10, the men are going to be the one's out hunting while the woman are watching children. I think I'm done here, cause you seem to be conveniently leaving out pertinent information that disproves your ridiculous assertions.

 

Fine have it your way, but remember that not all women can be pregnant at the same time, still possible but very very unlikely. Also, in a single clan, there was a good amount of females and males, and not only a few individuals.

 

Here is a female that i deeply admire. https://www.youtube.com/c/cnliziqi/videos

 

C'mon! They don't! Their way of crossing the streets is just different than men's

 

Yes, I know about her. I admire her deeply because she's independent and certainly isn't the type to support sexist views.
