    I for one think we'd all be dead because I doubt women could have caught the meals back in the day but that's just my opinion.

    What do you think about this ??

    For quite a while in human history women were actually the main breadwinners as such because their gathering enterprise were more successful than men's hunting.

    men and women, then and now, is that men are usually stronger

    IMO, that's really more of an on average thing.:P I personal don't think men are naturally stronger then women, but society's view of a good male is strong, and six-packed while society's view of a good looking female is slim.

    this may or may not be true, I am not argueing.

    But I would like to see a gang of women taking down, let's say a buffallo with a spear to feed the familes back in the cave.

    It would make no difference which gender was on top. We'd still have jiggy-jiggy.:):):):)

    Nothing on telly but reality shows and celebrity gossip and....................good Lord, it's already happened!!

    Video games wouldn't be embarrasingly cheesy towards women. The female characters would probably be Ripley-esque by being strong, independant, intelligent, etc, and wear better-fitting clothes that doesn't look like their bewbs and arse are about to explode out of.

    The male characters would be bumbling idiots who can't cook or look after kids :pac:

    Is it that you don't believe men have more testosterone than women or that you don't believe it aids muscle growth?

    What you believe has little to do with anything. Men are naturally stronger, when talking about mean strength.

    Funny you should say that, this site is a quick google click away: http://www.women-inventors.com/

    With the following piece on it's homepage:

    Co-inventor George...ah now :pac:

    Lets see....woman invented windshield wipers but did she invent the car?

    other quotes...."She spent the greater part of her childhood hanging around the manufacturing plant run by her father and uncle, two men who combined to invent, among other things, an industrial lathe"

    "Barbie doll is a staple in the toy chests of little girls everywhere. Along with co-founding (probably with a man) the renowned toy company Mattel, woman inventor Ruth Handler also designed the doll that would become an American cultural icon."

    Ah yea yea yea :pac:

    Be still stuck in the stone age tbh. Name a good invention by a woman

    I only need to name one, Marie Curie.
    Curie was the first person to win two Nobel Prizes.
    Physics 1903
    Chemistry 1911

    She is one of only two people who have been awarded a Nobel Prize in two different fields, the other person being Linus Pauling for chemistry and for peace (how gay is that?).

    yeah but I heard Marie Curie stole the idea / notes from her husband which had something to do with radiation, is that right ?

    Yeah, I think it does aid muscle growth, but I think a diet filled with protein, carbohydrites and various red-meats helps as well:D

    Males of most species are mostly physical specimens for reproduction. If traditional African tribes are any indications of how small human tribes worked then men didn't even contribute much to the food supply with their hunting. Hunting is hard and wouldn't have been a guaranteed way of putting food on the table. Most food would have been gathered by the women foraging. Hunting men is a display of fitness, cunning and reckless behaviour which women tend to think are desirable attributes.

    If women didn't decide to pass those kind of attributes on future generations we probably wouldn't have had as many wars but probably wouldn't have advanced as quickly as we did because people wouldn't take as many risks. Would probably be less healthy too.

    Well I'd presume they would be quite good at it as the typical weapons used, a javellin, would be quite easy to us as the were usually propelled with a device to assist distance and accuracy, as well as the reason for the success of humans in hunting which was our superior social communication skills, which women are renowned for. :rolleyes:

    Circular saw is debatable. No one really knows
    Globe. No.
    Ironing Board. No
    Rotary engine. No
    Windshield wiper. yay! Finally!

    And what a list, a paper bag making machine?

    You have no idea what women in prehistory did do you?

    They hunted and did pretty much the same things men did.

    You sir have just shown yourself to be a sexist pig.

    Yup, especially the Celts. They did the same things, fought in the wars etc. Ever read a history book OP?

    Just to pick one from that "exhaustive" list...

    Medical syringe, Letitia Geer, 1899..."Letitia" lolz

    Acutally it was invented by an Irishman Francis Rynd in 1844. :pac:

    In most tribes in the past and today, Women were just as involved with the hunting as men.

    I know this is probably the first time its been asked on this forum but references please ? I am sort of curious about those these points, not saying they weren't excluded completely from hunting or warfare but have never came across a point that females were involved with either of these activities as much as men in most cultural groups

    Diet definitely has an effect on muscle growth but if we agree that men have more testosterone than women and that testosterone aids muscle growth then it seems likely that men will be "naturally" stronger than women. This has no bearing on whether some individual woman is stronger than an individual man, but I'm pretty sure it's medically accepted that men have an easier time gaining muscle and strength.

    Flawed. It's not like women had the same opportunities and education that men had to research and invent.
    all the men would have committed suicide

    a hard as nails dominering man will leave you alone and respect you if you show your worth

    a ball busting feminazi isnt happy untill you have been hammered into submission and are bereft of self esteem and dignity
    the pc gender neutral zealots who influence every facet of western culture are working hard to root out traditional male traits , masculinity is potrayed as probelmatic , agressive and highly objectionable , yet we wonder why young men have an identity crisis and are taking their own lives
    Oh it's you again... Yes, male suicide is caused by non compliant women - automatically ball busting feminazis. Pity we can't go back to the days when marital rape wasn't a crime. And any hard-as-nails, domineering man at all will leave you alone and respect you if you show your worth. Any - even the ones you don't know.

    The average man is physically stronger than the average woman - it's a fact.

    Be still stuck in the stone age tbh. Name a good invention by a woman :confused: Wars would've lasted 100 times longer too with both sides b*tching about each other to some poor neutral country for decades on end. Wars would also start over the slighest thing, like if the Queen of Germany said her husbands a great cook, the Queen of France would take that as saying her husband can't cook or some nonsense.

    Don't think democracy would've developed either. Every country would need a queen with an attitude of "I'm right all the time"

    Do you not think the reason that there are fewer (not "no") inventions by women is the obvious one that for most of our history very few women have been in any kind of position to invent something?

    How are you supposed to invent things if you're a full-time mother and housewife?

    "Now darling that's no excuse! Is the kitchen not basically a chemistry lab?"
