The Battle of the Sexes


The most controversial topic in history has been, Who is more superior
man, or woman? Be it from the men ruling cro-magnum age to the dominating woman
of the nineties, the only acceptable answer is a yes to both sides. Men have
there strong points as do women but they are in different areas. Men tend to
belong in the workforce as heavy laborers and women behind the desks, women can
have children and men cannot, and mens sports tend to be more popular then
womens.

Most men are Physically built stronger then women. They have the
ability to do more physically demanding jobs such as construction, movers,
bouncers at bars,and many of the other jobs that involve strength and power.
Women aren't all unable to do these jobs so they are forced to work as
secretaries, clerks, and many of the mentally demanding office jobs. There are
exceptions though such as the big 250 pound butch women and the skinny frail men
who switch roles and that is perfectly fine. This becomes a problem when the
massive dumb man wants to be a successful secretary with his amazing eight words
per minuit typing speed and the skinny little twig woman wants to be a
lumberjack. Men and women have to realize that some jobs are meant for someone
more fitting then what they are.

When god created women, he gave them the ability to have children. This
advantage kind of gives women superiority over men. I'm sure if men were able
to they would have children, but they can't. Back in the eighteen hundreds it
was expected that women stay home and take care of the children and the men
would work and bring home the money to support the family. Today there is still
the man that goes out and works for a living and the woman who stays home and
watches the kids, but we are steering toward a balance between the two.
Families consist of two working parents and children. This compromise shows
signs of gained equality on the womens side.

What is the first thing that comes to your head when you hear the word
hockey? Is it Wayne Gretzky? Or maybe the Edmonton Oilers. One thing that you
definitely don't see is a pack of women chasing a ring around the ice with
sticks. Hockey to the male is an aggressive sport of blood and guts with enough
excitement to keep you intoxicated with the thrill of the sport for the two
hours that it is on. Womens hockey or ringuette may be exciting but it doesn't
have the louring violence that hockey has. Just listen to the name ringuETTE,
anything that ends in ETTE has to be a womens sport. If ringuette was half as
good as hockey they would have Ringuette Night in Canada, however they do not.
The same goes for football and baseball, men simply have this area of domination
in the bag.

In conclusion, it would not be fair to say that men are better then
women or that women are better then men. What you can say is that there are
some things that women can do better then men and there are some things men can
do better then women. But when it comes down to it, men are still ahead of
women. In the future though we will probably end up equal after all we did have
a head start and just like the black Americans,equality was not reached
overnight.
