Talking ’bout the weaker sex

Talking about the weaker sex. Talking about boys and men. Most men, and perhaps some women, would assume the weaker sex is the woman. Whoever thinks this is so wrong, just plain wrong. Boy are you ever so wrong if you think this. Why, you ask, do I mention this? Well, last week I read this article and today I got reminded of it by my dad. The poor soul…

Boys are not more intelligent than girls. But you can say that girls perform better than boys. For years (international) research has shown that this is so. Girls take up less time to successfully end their education and fewer girls call it quits halfway their education. This is even true for the beta studies. Again and again girls perform better than boys and not only on educational grounds; they have also become more assertive, e.g. in courting. For the full article (in Dutch) look here.
So, women are just better than men. Sorry to bust your bubble boys and men. Physically men are perhaps stronger, but even so, women can even the scores by training their physique. But hey, noting new under the sun. Men are just weaker than women. This also shows in their health (also read the article). They get ill sooner and more often. Just today my dad said he wasn’t feeling well, he was ill – he has a nasty cough… a really mean little cough… uhuh, yeah and that means you’re ill…. Not likely. Nasty cough? Take some cough syrup. Really, a little cough doesn’t mean you’re ill; it’s more likely you have a (starting) cold. And a cold is not, I repeat, NOT the same as being ill. And if you really are ill, take some drugs for God’s sake, some aspirin. But noooò, men are too stubborn for that. They want pity. They want to be pampered. For a little, annoying, cough. Damn, you men are so stubborn, annoying and dumb sometimes. Don’t take the damned syrup, cause a nasty little cough doesn’t effect your throat at all… At some point, your throat will not hurt from all that coughing… Your body is build to endure everything without any help from you… Cough syrup? Drugs? Who needs them? Certainly not men, who are after all the stronger sex. Oops, I forgot, you’re the weaker sex. TAKE THOSE DAMN DRUGS IF YOU’RE ILL!!!! TAKE COUGH SYRUP IF YOU HAVE AN ANNOYING, NASTY COUGH!!!
Hopefully the point has come across. Still not convinced men are the weaker sex? Here’s a fact for you: women have a lower pain threshold than men, but at the same time have a higher pain level – so we do feel pain sooner, but we can also endure pain longer before we pass out. You men are so weak.
