You are genuinely intelligent. Voices which can see beyond the immediate gender insults will be of extreme importance through this issue or we will merely trade an abusive power structure for another (though in different manifestation).
Consider getting involved. Either writing, media talk show, politics or whatever. I think men are going to be taking more of a home role and women will drive society. This issue will drive that change.

Depends on what you mean by mentally stronger? We can deal with more pain (like pooping out a baby)

your survivers and yes giving birth. native peoples the woman does everything except hunt and the man just hunts, eats, fucks, sleeps and hunts again with the woman's consent or not. I read a book on a phycologist in a Nazi concentration camp and he said the same but so much better. woman have more of a survival instinct. men are all macho and full of themselves. watch that naked and afraid program and its nearly always the bloke giving it the big one to start and then turning into a complete pussy. I used to do tattoos and men do much the same thing acting all big and tough but there the ones bitching mostly.

giving birth to a man would be like pissing a golf ball. you would never hear the end of it. don't get me wrong there are exceptions to every rule.

Please can we stop using the word "pussy" to mean something weak????
A vagina is all muscle and can push out a baby - if you need a word to describe weakness, look on a man's face after he's been kicked in the nuts and use "testicle"!

Could he have used the word "pussy" to be kitten as opposed to "tiger"?

@Agnostic1 The insult "Pussy" has nothing to do with vaginas, it's from the middle English word "Pusillanimous" which means timid or cowardly.

@BlatantSubtlety - And "gay" means carefree and happy.

Can you get a reality grip here and realise that just because a word meant something else in the past, that it garners meaning along the millenia and people who use pussy now most definitely relate it to vaginas (and it's not middle English, more likely Latin).

And we're still left with the linguistic anomaly of why "pussy" is used to describe a vagina. Could it be anything to do with misogyny???

@Agnostic1 And "pussy" means cat.
Firstly on your comment of it being Latin
Although Pusillanimous originated from Latin (The late Latin word of pusillanimis, a combination of Pusillus meaning very small (a diminutive of pusus meaning boy) and animus meaning spirit), it is middle English, only due to the slight variation of adding -ous instead of -is... but that's slightly off topic.
"pussy" meaning vagina came from the slang for cat "puss" (also having connotations of a warm mass) which eventually became "pusscat" then "pussy" it later gained the connotation of vagina.
The insult "pussy" and "pussy" meaning vagina have separate, non malicious, non misogynistic roots.
What I don't understand is why you are seeing malice in word etymology... Just because one word has a definition it does not mean any other definition it holds has any relation. I mean seriously, the word literally, also means figuratively nowa days, it's exact opposite.

Thank you for asking. With the facebook discussion it turned into a lengthy conversation.Too often humans let their cognitive dissonance get the better of them and they react in order to feel good instead of actually doing good. The big moral issue in helping others should be to help the other person become self sustaining or to solve a problem (people should have the right not to be heavily dependent on others). Way too often we actually make the problem worse. I made a comment about Thomas Malthus (Charles Dickens model for 'Scrooge' but what Malthus said still applies after 2 centuries and has even gotten worse (per numbers). I could go on with a ton of details but in the end if one feeds another who is unable to feed themselves one enters into a lifelong obligation. The problem is people do not look to actual causes (which is simply a lack of resources - food) and continue on with their lives as they should. But, when people who are food dependent have children those children also become food dependent (on others) and the problem is magnified. Again it is immoral to make an existing problem worse and it will lead to just what we have - increasing food shortages (distribution) and starvation. The Smithsonian magazine, National Geographic and even a recent report on NPR spoke of global food problems. The Green Revolution is failing and GMO's were developed to address this problem with declining success. Environmental problems must be addressed with evidence based reasoning not emotion!
Many, many other species are going extinct because of US. Until we recognize we are not the center of the universe (as the religionISTS would have us believe). We could and according to 15,000+ scientists (their dire warning) may be headed for extinction ourselves. What good are rights when we are gone?
Funny, my late partner often had this same conversation with others. She was a petite, dark haired, smiling, Iranian woman with a tiny accent (and amazing command of the English language). People always listened and often agreed. I am a slim, older, white male and people get upset. Obviously the messenger often counts more than the message.

@Kreig A recent book talked about making decisions regarding life and death issues for other people and how cognitive dissonance often gets in the way. The book started with the scenario that you are on the top of a hill at a railroad junction. You see a train coming up the hill and turn around and see some laborers on the track below. You are at a switch and can redirect the train to another track. However, you see on the other track there is a stalled bus. What do you do? The book went on to compile more and more complicated scenarios. Some countries have a law that if one sees another person injured, say in a car accident, one must render aid. There have been documented cases where a lack of knowledge has caused more harm and even death. Aiding others is not a simple situation. We have been doing it for centuries and where has that gotten us?
On this island there exists a Transitions Town group. It is an international movement started in England over resiliency during a time of peak oil. I was on the steering committee for a while. I have had experience with misguided charitable organizations (one got me to see the problem of religion) and compiled a power-point discussion on the environment and charitable giving. Unfortunately, the leadership could not understand there could be a conflict and she wouldn’t let me give it (she never reviewed what I had (based on her feelings). This points to the main problem and that is the unwillingness of too many to even look at other ideas. Before we invaded Iraq one of our senators, Patty Murry, went to Iraq on a fact finding mission. She was branded by the Republicans as a traitor. She is (still) a Democratic senator.

Sorry but no woman "chooses" to become a prostitute. Typical mansplaining. Yuck.com/

The thing is, i have never said 'not all men'. I only say that it doesn't make sense to me to write an article attempting to stop sexism by labeling women as 'mostly this way' and men as 'mostly that way'. You cannot enforce sexism and stop it at the same time. What i don't understand is why, when i say that, everyone seems to think i'm being sexist. It's very confusing.

This is the issue with a conservative branch of feminism known as "naturalistic feminism". They pretty much go by the same apartheid-era argument of "equal but different", and base their feminism on some form of "natural" qualities of women which are considered superior to men's and such. I personally condemn this particular form of feminism and consider it harmful to both women and humanity in general, but one should know it exists.
