Who is the stronger sex?

It is said that men are stronger then woman phyically, and sometimes in spirt.

Which sex/gender is stronger? ASK GOOGLE!

Hmmm... well, if it's physical strength you're talking about about then it's males without question. Muscles develop more in males than in females, which is why you don't see women with bulging muscles.

However, from what I've seen, women are more emotional. They seem to express and talk about their feelings more than men. With men, not showing emotion (For example, crying), it's seen as being "cool". I'm more emotional than most guys my age, and I've often been called "wuss" or "gay" because of it. In fact, with guys my age, if a guy is emotional everyone says "Oh, you're gay!" Like I said, with teenage boys, it seems that bottling up your emotions is "cool".

Okay, have you ever been pregnant? Even with their periods each month the discomfort makes girls crazy. You seem to think people just act this way to fit stereotypes, when the biological chemicals cause them to do this.

Men are stronger when it comes to physical terms, but it all depends on genetics etc.

Generally, men are meant to be better in physical strength and activities than most females, but this does not make them the better gender. Sure that the average females are smaller and weaker in physical strength than the average males, but we do need to remember that this is because of our history when men are the hunters and woman are the carers. They wouldn't be able to survive without the other gender.

Some say that woman are generally smarter than men, but these findings are false. Everyone (no matter what gender) is smarter than other people on different intelligences, so you can't really classify a female being better at English than males. I know some guys at my school who are legends when it comes to Maths and some girls out there can drive better than some men. So it all comes down to personally strengths.

Females and males brains are wired quite differently to each other and this doesn't mean that this will make a sex better than the other sex. Even though males and females have completely different wiring patterns within the brain, this makes us to think and behave in different ways to the other and it won't proove that males are smarter than females, or if it's the other way around.

On average, a female shows stronger emotions than males, which is why we tend to express them physically through tears, screams etc. An avergae male tends to hide theirs, but it depends on the circumstances. It is not easy for men to hold their anger from hurting another male, which is why you will see more males fighting that females. Females usually hurt others with emotion and verbal assault, but men usually express it out through physical or verbal assaults.

As for pregnant woman, their sudden changes of the female hormones can change moods suddenly, which is why most people believe that pregnant woman are 'agro' when they are months into their pregnancy. But they can't really control their behaviour or to stop the massive amounts of hormones flowing through their body to help maintain the body through pregnancy. This is also the case when children hit puberty. Both males and female's express sudden mood changes because of the excessive hormones pumping through their body in order to mature into an adult.

So clearly, males and females stand equally in this world. One can't survive without the other.

To answer this question, you need to travel back to before the age of sex discrimination and sporting activities and focus on a time when it was all about survival. Now, I am in mo means an expert on the subject, but my opinion is that males are superior in some fields and women are superior in others. Combine these two sexes and you have one hell of a force.

Physically, men are superior in most every field except for agility. Look at the muscular structure: men are built a lot thicker than women. I believe this is because the males were the ones who did the vigorous physical work such as cutting down trees, moving boulders, etc. Women are a lot more streamline and slender than men, even if they are physically fit. I believe that this is because women were designed for providing the element of surprise in a hunt, and/or some other need. By the same token, men have larger hearts and lungs than women, along with a thicker, stronger skull and skeletal system. Males were probably taking a lot of hits back in the day, so they needed to be built more durable than females.

Mentally, I'm not sure. Men typically score higher in mathematics and science, while women usually score higher in the more artistic fields. I believe this is because the male brain is designed to think very systematically, while the female brain is designed to be more abstract. This is why a lot of women are interior designers: men, by nature, usually don't notice things that women do. At the same time, men can formulate plans and strategies a lot better than women. Of course, there are exceptions, but I'm talking about generally.

My conclusion? Both sexes are equal, but they attain this equality by being better than the other in different fields.

really my period doesn't make me crazy at all. it hardly bothers me just ask chi_warrior. (she's my best friend). if your used to it then you CAN controll these chemicals more.

Is there a stronger gender?
I'd think not. It all depends on how you are, not exactly the way you were made. I do not believe that certain things that one gender would hold stereotypical could be impossible for the other gender to accomplish. Really any gender can do anything if they put their mind to it. There is the thought that comes to my mind that it might be true that since men have restricted women to realize their full potential women have developed a somewhat weaker status, but that doesn’t actually mean they’re weak in fact some people that are women posses physical characteristics that men could only posses by countless years of work.
But mainly I don't think we should have this struggle for power of which gender is the best or strongest. We should, on both genders, learn to respect and give the other gender a chance and I'm especially talking to guys for every great man that turns up in the world was brought into it by a woman , it's really time to give females there time in the spot light because they can't make it anymore worse than what us men have done.

This shouldn't be a question. Males are stronger than females (in general). Fact

I do not believe that certain things that one gender would hold stereotypical could be impossible for the other gender to accomplish.

I have yet to see a woman beat a man in any sport, when it comes to measurable results... except for discus(but then they also throw with a lighter disc) So as far as we can tell, there are things the other gender can't accomplish... when it comes to such things as competition and sports.

but that doesn’t actually mean they’re weak in fact some people that are women posses physical characteristics that men could only posses by countless years of work.

Women aren't by any means weak, however the vast majority is weaker than males.

When talking about the stronger gender, not the better, it's not really a struggle for power. Numbers don't lie, men are stronger.

it's really time to give females there time in the spot light because they can't make it anymore worse than what us men have done.

So, wait... the current situation in the world couldn't get any worse, basically? Pssh.

Well, I get your point, as I got haunt and eternal legend's points, but when we're talking strengh, there's not much room for equality between the genders whether we'd like it or not.

Please don't point the finger at males here. That is sexism. What have I done to discriminate against females?

And with the yellow quote, well it takes two to tango. Every woman that exists, would not exist if it weren't for the sperm constituting it's zygote.

I think it's time for the world to completely change with regards to social responsibilities regarding the genders. I am not pointing the finger at anyone, but it just so happens that males are expected to open doors, and pay for bills for women, in certain situations, but I cant think of any situations where the reverse applies. In the past, women couldn't get proper jobs, or any jobs while being married, and that is where the "men paying for stuff" originated. Well that social situation is gone now. There is no reason for that past custom anymore.

I completely disagree. Why should we respect females for something as passive as that? We should respect those who have non-passively deserved it.

No, it's time to get those who deserve it their time in the spotlight regardless their gender.
It's stupid to generalise like that. "Us men"? No, those who have done it. They didn't "make it this bad" because they were men.

Well, I can;t choose becuse for the sole reason that women specialize in their "own" strengh and the males in their "own" strengh. Females are spcialize in cleaning/cooking strengh and he males in work/car fixing there are also many females that can beat a male with only a one hit with her slap/punch.

The strengths of the sexes are complimentary, if you ask me, and can be molded to the lifestyle of each person. Sure, on average women tend to thought of as being more emotional, but there are plenty of guys who get horribly upset over the slightest criticisms. That's an emotional issue, not a physical or rational one, which implies to me that men are just as emotional as women when the right buttons are pushed. Women just express it in such a way that men cannot empathize as easily as they can with other men.

On the flipside, men are considered to be more "rational" and "reasonable" than women. In my experience, it's just a difference in approach. A woman will approach a friend with a complaint just like a man will, they just appeal to different rationalities: they will mention how they feel, what they see as the problem, et cetera. A man will be more blunt and up-front about it, because a man is usually raised to be that way. When they see how a woman rationalizes an argument, men see it as manipulation. Women see the way men do it as overly aggressive, or even mean.

So mentally, there's no real way to say either gender is stronger. They do things differently. Could a woman be just as blunt and aggressive as a man? sure. Could a man approach his friends with his troubles, to get a response? sure. Would it work? Most of the time, no. Men and women use those methods of communication because those are the societal norms. Men are "supposed" to be blunt, women are "supposed" to appeal to emotion. It's not about being stronger or weaker, it's about society's perception.

Physically, it really depends on the person. The strongest man will probably be stronger than the strongest woman. The average man will probably be stronger than the average woman. Does that mean a woman can't be stronger than a man? No. It's all about how they treat their body. In general, though, the male body is designed more for strength than the female body.

Males on average are physically stronger, females tend to live about 3-5 years longer however. It al balences out in the end; there is no stronger sex.

Males and Females have their own strengths and weaknesses, so no one is really "stronger." They are equal with the fact that they are different.

I believe that everyone is essentially equal and we don't need to compare each other on how much better we are because of the way we were born. Just like everyone is equal under race, so is everyone equal under gender. That's just the way it is.

"Physical strength" as in "physical muscular power", and "generally" as in "genetically", I agree.

If the 3-5 years longer life span in females statement is true, than the physical attribute I mentioned earlier, constitution, would explain this.

To me, they are equal.

When it comes to the family, both have strong responsibilities. The father provides for the family and the wife tends to the children. Yes, I'm a traditionalist, but I don't think there is a better.

Not having children at all, might be better. Who knows, I am only a child.

I'm an only child too. Raised by wonderful parents. I believe family is very important. But people don't think so apparently.

This really is always a...not quite tender, but quick to argue kind of topic. I've noticed that.

Even though I am a girl myself, I will admit the that stronger sex is men, hands down. The genetically designed to take more than females. Taller, wider (side to side I mean, not fat), and more muscle mass in general. Even a completely ripped girl (think disgustingly ripped) can stand up to Mr. Universe.

Women do have strong points. We tend to be more open, and understanding. (Talking about the NON-Backstabbing-Evil-Dogs. The good girls.) Men, as I've noticed, tend not to want to listen. But also, we are a bit more vulnerable when it comes to getting our feelings hurt. Men don't seem to have that problem, or they don't outwardly show it. So, I suppose you could say we're emotionally stronger, but it depends on in what sense you're speaking.

Mentally speaking, there are plenty of cases where men have been smarter than women. Plenty. Some of my classmates are smarter than the men, some are smarter than the women. None are smarter than both...at least I think. Anyway, if you want to get into mental growth, it's been debated that women develop faster mentally (and emotionally) than men. I haven't heard whether or not that's been proven, but it is logical. I've seen it happen more than enough times to believe it.

If you want to count the clear wins, it's Men 1, Women 0. So you could say men are the stronger sense, but it all boils down to what sense you're talking in.

Besides, it's nice to always go out with someone stronger than you. They give better piggy-back rides.
