Hmm during "hell week" al the females actually gave up before the first male threw in hte towel, our physical strength advantage led us to last longer meaning the endurance was better on behalf of the men. And we actually had heavier packings than the females too.
Finti> Yes, I know
But higher endurance doesn’t make women stronger. Both genders have advantages and disadvantages.
You’re beginning to sound like they other guys I know who’ve had a foot inside the army. They usually get a peculiar view of women as a “secondary” gender, and refuse to accept OUR advantages.
What you must realise is, that women are – in general – less aggressive (due to testosterone) and therefore less competitive than men. Except during PMS – that’s the few days each month when a woman actually behaves like a man (oestrogen drops, so the relative amount of testosterone is higher).

I don't think the level of compassion varies all that much depending on the gender. I think a man'll have just as bad a feeling about shooting someone else as a woman would.
I accept your advantages. I accept that women do clean house better than me, I accept women do the dishes better than me, I accept that women do the laundry better than me, I accept that women vacuums better than me. So stick to those advantages and dont move in on ours and we will leave yours all alone
..........................oh man I have been waiting for this opportunity the entire thread.....
Finti> Are you telling me that you – a big, strong man – is AFRAID of a vacuum cleaner? My friends cat is, but you?
“behaves like a biatch comes more to mind than man.” Sorry to break it to you, Finti, but I am actually right. As oestrogen levels drop prior to the period, a womans relative amount of testosterone rises. That is PMS=More like a man. When I read that it KILLED me… I’m still laughing

i dont think it is a question of physical strength, but a question of psychological strength. A womans body can be conditioned to carry 90 pounds of eqipment and withstand harsh weather enviorments. I dont think a womans mind can put up with this however. Just because of mentality woman take on due to societies undetermined view on woman I am not saying woman are mentaly inferior, i'm just saying woman are not used to the years of societies acceptance that man is the warrior,and woman is the nurtrur . It is like why tigers are wild, they have been used to a history of the wild life, now if you were to spend 100 years domesticating the tiger, it would soon be as domestic as the dog or cat. I think woman should be allowed to if they want, but again the chemistry in the womans mind is different than the mans especially during that special day of the month

I think what happens a lot of times is that some women set their goals to be as good as men, instead of aiming at just making it through with the standard set for them from the start.Those who concentrated all their will toward their goals set for them instead of trying to be equal to the men is the one, in the majority of the cases, that pulls through.
its often told that "whatever a man can do.. a woman can.."
hmm.. maybe, but not at all times.. if i were the president, i prefer to send men on battles...

We need closure on this thread people!!!
We've gone around in a circle at least three times, it's becoming woman vs man, and that's not really the point of this thread is it?
I suggest all the guys who have posted here go straight to the nearest pub, drink a few beers and forget the existance of this thread, and their manners, and all the ladies make your way to my crib, we'll drink lots of wine, b!tch about the fact that men will never accept us as their equals and then do each other's hair/nails/bikini lines
(Apologies in advance of the mountain of angry replies I'm about to receive)
i don't think that's entirely true, they do show more compassion than men do but i don't think it matters if it's an enemy that would rather kill you than blush because your flattering him with your compassion

No, Fo' baby, by compassion I think he simply meant that women would be more likely to say "Can't we all settle this over a nice cuppa cawfee and a chinwag?"
Women are compasionate untill you piss them off. Then they turn into the most ruthless and agressive creatures on this earth. Have you ever seen a girl fight? It's barbaric.
In order to win a war, all we'd have to do is drop a bunch of women over in Iraq and tell them "they said you're dress makes you look fat, and that you're new hat, that you just paid $9.99 for at K-Mart is onsale at Target for $6.75. The war would be over by the end of the day.

Seriously, I'm gonna have to start being careful around you BF, Cave Men are known for the fact that they attack when threatened. So, no sudden movements guys, and Captain Chauvinistic over there should just about be able to remain civilised.

I didn't read every single post so I hope I'm not repeating here.
The idea is that the men go fight in the war and the women stay home (or at least off the front lines) so that they can replenish the society. Obviously, lots of people die in wars so women are very important to have babies and make up for all the death. Its not really about whether or not women can fight, of course they can fight. Men, on the other hand, cannot have babies.
