[QUOTE="SHARK, post: 390139, member: 1131"] Greetings! RobNJ Posted: ____________________________________________________ Quote: "Women are capable of being stronger than men. Second, it puts an automatic game advantage to being male, which is flatly unfair in my opinion." ____________________________________________________ End Quote. Hmmm...women are capable of being stronger than men? Well, weaker men, certainly. However, the facts show that not only are the average men stronger than the average woman, but in all the contests of physical strength--take world-class bodybuilders, for example--even the "strongest" women are far below the strongest men. Really, there is no comparrison. It is merely a fact that must be accepted, regardless of how inconvenient it may make some radicals feel. Thus, men, in fact, are generally far stronger than women. The only incidence where that isn't the case is when comparing the exceptionally rare, very muscular female, to an out-of-shape, far less developed male, which, while showing that a few women are stronger than a few men, isn't really a useful comparrison. Physically, then, men should have great advantages over women. I don't quite see why this natural fact is so "offensive" to some people. Certainly women are physically capable, but when one compares women's performance in professional sports, for example, there really isn't any comparrison either. Basketball, Football, Running, Rowing, and so on. The best are all men, and in any kind of contest between even skilled athletes, the male athletes prevail over female athletes in virtually all levels of performance. Notice that virtually nowhere in professional sports do they have mixed teams, nor do they pit female teams against male teams--because all male teams have always been superior. M/M competitions work, and F/F competitions work, but comparing the two would merely be an exersize in depression as the women are defeated every time.:) In game terms though, it probably isn't a point worth enforcing, as it is, after all, a game.
