It sounds like I hate women, and I do. But it's still facts.
Well if anyone ever wondered how sexist (and angry) you were, here's the answer in a paragraph: Very, very much.
I'm sure you don't care (about actual facts), but I have to say a few things anyway...
Quote:Sexism: Women are physically weaker, always. Unless they're body builders or whatever but even then, compare a male body builder to a female and guess who's stronger, larger, etc?
First, you want some physical advantages? Reading what you said you'd think that women have none. That isn't true, actually -- women have a higher pain tolerance (giving birth HURTS!) and better endurance -- in long running races, the longer the race, the narrower the gap between men and women. They also, of course, have a longer lifespan.
That, of course, doesn't get into the mental differences, such as parts of the brain (what this means is still quite controversial I believe) or emotions, which, as I understand it, seems to be that women are better at understanding and expressing their emotions than men are. Men and women have the exact same amount of emotions, of course, all are humans, but in general men are worse at understanding them.
Quote:In the olympics the men's run is longer than the woman's,
As should be obvious, that is only true because of sexism and historical bias against women. The same goes for tennis, where women play fewer sets per match -- there is no real reason behind it, only historical sexism against women who "of course can't do the same length of a match that men can". We now know that that is absolutely false, but unfortunately it is still true that not all sports events are equal.
Quote:women are brilliant at organizing and managing systems but horrible at critical thinking
"Brilliant" and "horrible"? You very vastly exaggerate of course. There are mental differences between the genders, though we don't know exactly how much of that is cultural and how much is actually natural, but there is more difference between people in general. Every person is different.
Anyway, I don't really know what you're referring to with "horrible at critical thinking". Is the old, stupid "women are bad at math" thing related to it? There is absolutely zero evidence that that is anything other than cultural. None whatsoever -- and some evidence that it is indeed cultural, in fact. Younger girls and boys are the same at math, but as they get older girls start to fall behind... particularly in classes where the teacher said things (often just subtly) about how girls aren't as good at math...

One part of that could be explained by that men have more testosterone and thus are more likely to really push for what they want, but another part of it is that the very long legacy of oppression will do wonders on people's minds...
For example, I was just reading that evidently, in some Middle Eastern countries (I think the poll was in Egypt), a poll of women found that something like two thirds of women think that it should be okay for a man to be allowed to murder his wife if he saw her looking at another man, or something like that. When people are told from day one that something is a certain way, few people will question that, even if any impartial observer would say that those rules are incredibly horrible.
For an example on the testosterone point, in many modern hunter-gatherer societies, women in general actually collect more food than men do... but because they're collecting (or growing) plants, perhaps fish on the shore or small animals, things like that, their contributions are considered less important and noteworthy than the contributions of the men, which are a smaller proportion of the diet, but are of big animals. If the men hunted animals they'd be more likely to catch they'd actually catch more food, but they go for prestige and the big kill over what would provide the most, and then if they get back with it they get a lot of prestige for it, which is of course a good part of why they do it. I don't know if any human societies have been truly without any sexism, somehow humans seem to be designed to divide things into a gender-based division of labor and then for men to say that theirs are better and more important. Is that true? Sometimes yes, but not always.
Culture can have an impact on this, though. That's what we've been trying to do for the past century, even out the differences and make things more fair. We've come a long way on it, but still have quite a ways to go.

Because of cultural bias, sure. Things are slowly changing.
Quote:This is because men CANNOT GIVE BIRTH and therefore put all their mental strengths towards creativity, even subconsciously.
Entirely irrelevant to anything else in this post. That you think this actually is a relevant point says a lot about your hatred problem. This "point" makes so little sense that only a very sexist person would say something so deludedly stupid...
Oh yeah, and relationships and children to matter a lot to men as well as women... but also, I would mention my above "men are worse at understanding their emotions" point here to perhaps explain part of why people could say things like you did there.
Quote:Sexism. Pah. You wanna see sexism? Women get paid more in pornos than men do.
Because men are most of the ones watching, and they don't care that much about the men in the videos. That'd be the reason.
