Women are the Superior sex

[enchanted]

Let me settle the debate once and for all. Women are the superior sex. Consider that on average, women are more subtle, much less physically aggressive, and choose healthier lifestyles. They are better with money (less  bankruptcies, less gambling etc) willing to help more, and keep more friends. They attend college and university at a higher rate, make most of the household spending decisions, and commit less suicide, do less drugs, which leads to living longer, plus they gave birth to you and me.

Lao Tzu once said: "Know the masculine but stick to the feminine."

Contemplate that. Also contemplate why the universe thought it was a good idea to create a superior sex in the first place.

Lol if it rages anyone, that needs to be contemplated why. Enlightened people don't fall for rage bait after all. 

Also I'm being pretty much sincere. Some people on here feel like this perspective isn't shared enough. Maybe they are right and so I took the initiative.

A touch of the devils advocate 😉 

The only reason I disagree with the claim is the domain error it evokes. Like saying a chainsaw is better than a dropsaw because it is mobile, light, better access to areas etc. but it is designed for less precision and control. A different application.

The dropsaw and the chainsaw still cut. They both have a blade. Both require power. They are both powered saws, but they specialise in different cutting techniques.

Both types of saws are needed to break down a tree into lumber and then cut to to precision for the wood to build a house. 

Men and women need each other

Women are generally more socially adept, which is beneficial when you live in a world that has mostly cast away survival depending on physicality in favor of mental cognition and conforming to bureaucratic institutions. But if the apocalypse happened women would suddenly become a lot more directly dependent on men for survival. You see this in Ukraine, with who's fighting the war and who flees as refugees.

Men built society and via their own inventions then made themselves redundant. But it's still men who do the majority of the most dangerous and crucial jobs for society's functioning. If your demographic is coastal city hipster, then yeah, women are clearly superior.

From everything I have seen in the younger folks I train and couch, men do appear to be falling behind. Women's equality has not been at the cost of men's. It is just illuminating issues that were always there.

Male suicide is something I am passionate about that I wish was spoken about here more. I don't think male suicide means women are superior.

We have had 4 male apprentices kill themselves. Burying a 22 year old man almost broke me.

In my experience, a lot of guys get funneled into blue collar work because they are "losers", because they can't focus on their academics and/or aren't cut out for school. They typically have issues and lack good role models I think.

My brother who's a metallurgist distinguished between the people actually interested in the subject and the "nitwits" who where more interested in getting wasted and driving cool cars (what I think you'd call bogans in Australia).

I love this. I often struggle to see the value of men, have self loathing, and put women on a pedestal too often. Thanks for this.

Yep there's definitely a pattern there that means I see more of the poor examples of mental health and men.

If I put a women in a similar situation, she would be less likely to kill herself.

The bottomline is to focus on your strengths. Classic self-help principle. Men generally need prove their worth more, whereas women get to coast to a greater degree. On the flipside, men generally have a greater opportunity to build character. There's a reason why men tend to gravitate towards leadership to a greater degree.

Women are less likely to kill themselves in general. They are less impulsive.

Men and women are complementary. There is no superior or inferior.

Women, biological females, can give birth. We have a portal to life, we have the womb, which is a great power that was exploited by patriarchy, but it doesn't mean that we are inherently superior. Our ability to give birth gives us better resistance to pain than men because birth is one of the most painful experiences a human can ever have.

We are the beginning, the first sex. When there is a fetus, it always starts as female and later, if it is destined to be male, it converts to male.

We have other biological such as living longer. Males, on the other hand, have other advantages, like physical strength.

Women attempt suicide at higher rates than men and are more prone to mental illness and autoimmune diseases, mainly because of repressed anger, which is often penalized.

Women make most household spending decisions simply because men do not want to be involved in those decisions, and often this burden falls on women.

Men, on the other hand, spend money on things like cars, electronics, gadgets, tools, and sometimes investments in tech or hobbies. They usually hold more expensive assets.

All humans need both. Also, healthy feminine energy and healthy masculine energy need some of the polar energy to become balanced and healthy. If there is only feminine without the masculine, it becomes chaos without structure, and if there is only masculine without the feminine, it becomes too rigid without the flow of life.

This is why a healthy psyche need to integrate both. 

Feminine energy is Shakti, the life energy,creative energy that flows in each cell of our body and breath, and masculine energy is Shiva, the awareness, direction, and structure that contains life.

To balance this you can claim women have opportunity to build character through mothering / childrearing & care. Men can coast to a greater degree. There's a reason women gravitate towards caretaking to a greater degree. 

Different domains of speciality.

Yep this is why male suicide is a huge, huge problem ☹️

As a wider question - do the men of the forum think this isn't payed enough attention? Heaps of dudes feel expendable.
