Lance, think about the physical differences between men and women, and then think about sports. Can you name some famous female athletes? Of course you can. But as your survey this in your mind, you realize that sports tend to segregate naturally by gender. There is woman's baseball and men's baseball, women's tennis and men's tennis. You get the picture. Now we know that if you mix men and women together in most sports, the men come out on top because of their physical strength. Now the common reaction to this is, "so what! That is only physical strength, what does that mean?" The truth is that men and women are different physically in areas other than muscular strength. Women and men differ emotionally AND intellectually. Their brains are actually different physically too. Men and women think differently and approach problems and solutions to problems differently. Every married man can tell you that this is true. Now it might be a little sensitive in our culture to talk about this, but intellectual endeavors does not seem to be a particularly ripe field for women. As you try to list the great thinkers and intellectual contributors who were women, you realize that there is a paucity of them. Where is the female counterpart to Einstein? Where is the female counterpart to Newton? This is not something that men like to talk about. It puts us into the position of sounding like we are putting ourselves up above women. However, our culture has brainwashed everyone to believe in equality of the sexes, and so this is a hot button if anyone attempts to discuss what has traditionally been known for a long time. Try to look at it objectively, and fight the effects of the brainwashing of our feminized society that would tell you that you are a brute for even considering what I have just said. If you look at the facts and resist the effect of culture on your sensitivities, a light bulb will go off in your mind and you will see the truth with certainty. Peace be with you.
