The difference between men and women.

[Edbear]

I beg to differ....




...and they come in a mulitude of colours and sizes!

Unfortunately I'm all repped out for a while...

Actually they do, which raises another question. Why are men's outside and women's inside...?

So women dont really exist, they are hermaphrodites?

Different sizes? They would have to in some cases.

I was meaning the ovaries...

Biology 101. Sperm production requires a narrow temperature range and the baseline temp is lower than your body core temp. Your ballsack gets closer to or further away from your body to maintain that temp. That's why budgie smugglers fuck your sperm count.

You're right of course and you can watch the sack moving on a cold day as it adjusts. But this doesn't answer my original question, which is why such things are so.

Why the differfences between men and women? If we are equal, why are men bigger, stronger, tougher when they don't need to be?

I know, I sound like a 4 year old - they are always asking "Why?", but isn't that how scientific discoveries are made? Why? How? Who? I seek to stimulate the mind rather than merely accepting what is just because it is. If we can answer why things are as they are, won't we really find a lot more?

This is fun, good on you Ed. Ok - crops as such only appeared when agriculture was discovered about 12000 years ago. Very recent invention. Prior to that it was hunter/gatherer nomadic survival for hundreds of thousands of years. Man is a communal animal as are the chimpanzees. Intelligence appears to be linked to firstly tool use and secondly the discovery of language.

Sources please.

Let's look at some of the science. Here's a quote from Wikipedia summarising the differences between man and animal.

"Humans are known taxonomically as Homo sapiens (Latin: "wise man" or "knowing man"),[3][4] and are the only extant member of the Homo genus of bipedal primates in Hominidae, the great ape family. However, in some cases "human" is used to refer to any member of the genus Homo.

Humans have a highly developed brain, capable of abstract reasoning, language, introspection, and problem solving. This mental capability, combined with an erect body carriage that frees the hands for manipulating objects, has allowed humans to make far greater use of tools than any other species. Mitochondrial DNA and fossil evidence indicates that modern humans originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago.[5] With individuals widespread in every continent except Antarctica, humans are a cosmopolitan species. As of May 2010[update], the population of humans was estimated to be about 6.8 billion.[6]

Like most higher primates, humans are social by nature. However, humans are uniquely adept at utilizing systems of communication for self-expression, the exchange of ideas, and organization. Humans create complex social structures composed of many cooperating and competing groups, from families to nations. Social interactions between humans have established an extremely wide variety of values, social norms, and rituals, which together form the basis of human society.

Humans are noted for their desire to understand and influence their environment, seeking to explain and manipulate natural phenomena through science, philosophy, mythology and religion. This natural curiosity has led to the development of advanced tools and skills, which are passed down culturally; humans are the only animal species known to build fires, cook their food, clothe themselves, and use numerous other technologies."

Here's a perspective on some of the differences...

There's a lot that could be said about this topic, but the basics are just that - simple. The differences between men and women largely come down to the established roles they used to play in earlier times...
Men used to hunt, wage war and protect against those seeking to do the same.
Women used to forage, keep the household /cave, whatever/ and give birth and raise the kids.
Hence men are stronger, faster, physically tougher, have better spatial orientation, can hear certain sounds better than women etc...
Women are more sensitive to certain parts of the visible light spectrum (red - berries), can hear certain other sounds better (crying babies) and arguably have better social skills (empathy etc..)

The interesting part for me personally is, how these predetermined traits and "modes of operation" often don't serve us well in modern society. And how, among other things, we are selectively breeding out the traits that are really important for the long term survival of society. But that is almost another whole new topic.

It's official...

I now know an uncomfortable amount about what it feels like to have a ball sack..

My dear tidy unappendaged genitals how I do prefer you to the awkward, floppy tender danglings that the boys deal with. I mean, I just can't even imagine always having to two foot jump with my knees apart!

OMG KB is so edumacational

but as I said, if you look at mankind as a species, the male is the stronger, dominant one, if he weren't women would rule the world instead.

I feel like I am picking on you a bit on this point, but I assure you I am just voicing my honest opinion..... Man, I just don't get how you can assert that men are the dominant sex in this world.

Edbear, I could sit here and type line after line on just how women actually rule the world, but i will use a really common example, which is really just an expansion of my previous one on the other thread you started.

On any Friday or Saturday night, in any country, (that is not Muslim perhaps) go out to a bar in the city, and say nothing, sit alone, with out your mates, and observe a few groups of women.

I can assure you, you will see groups of single women, get drink after drink brought for them, line after line thrown at them, macho action after macho action out on for their benefit, and male after male perform for their amusement.

The women drink for free, the men empty their pockets, and the girls go home.

In the words of Paul Weller.....

"NOW THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT!"

This is just one Social example, in "normal life" women also rule the waves.

As men, we are subject to the weakest urge, that of procreation. It's a fact, and we cannot change it.

Women, from an early age learn just how to exploit that to their advantage.

Women are (generally) physically weaker, and, to survive in this world, they have to outwit their peers (Males), or face sexual abuse on a grand scale. The way to do that is to collectively have all the men believe that women are the "weaker sex", thereby lulling the more stupid males in to thinking that women are "weaker".

It's a simple process, since, "the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world" (women rock the cradle most of the time), right form birth we are trained be passified with our ego's (open this jam jar, I'm too weak, lift this bag of groceries etc), when, in reality, men are being trained to (falsely) believe women are weak.

It carries on through life, and, by the time you are adult, the "spell" is complete.

Women, at will (most of the time) can make (most) men "fall in love" (really simple actually), when this is achieved, you find yourself with kids etc. (which is a good thing by the way)

You will find that women actually control you.... most of the time, they keep your ego up, laugh at you jokes etc (in doing so, this controls your emotions (think about it), and, at their whim, they can also make you feel down (critisise you for something that they normally don't mention, instantly causing an endorphean cut off to your brain, making you feel "hurt"... (again, controlling your emotions)..... when you are in this "hurt phase", you are so much more to suggestions than normal.

Another way to achieve the same emotional state as hurting your pride is to dissapoint you (claim they always wanted to try something exciting, but always decline when you want to arrange it, or tell you how they always like this kind of sexual position, but "oh, it was better with my last boyfriend"

Don't believe me?

You where raised well mate!

Sorry Edbear, again Women are the superior sex, no doubt about it.

WHY DO THEY DO IT?.........

BECAUSE THEY CAN!

much anger and paranoia have you young jedi...men are just as capable of that emotional blackmail shit as women are and btw whenever I ask for help to do something that I 'can't do' it ain't about stroking anyones ego...sad to think you feel so many men are so fragile....and no I didn't have perfect parents...

[Genie]

I can see where he is coming from but not all women are like that. Some of us actually find the kind of situation he has described as disgusting. some of us actually stand on our on two feet. some of us actually have been taken for a right royal ride by the male species.

Face it, we're all the same but we're all different.

How confusing to be human...how about forget the intricacies of the human make-up and enjoy living. Make the most of every day and every opportunity you are presented with, if it doesn't go the way you would like then,move on.

I think this also can happen to ovaries......See attached diagramAttachment 212708
