The Battle of Sexes

[scifi]

The battle of the sexes is in existence since the very conception of the world itself. Now, researchers have used the power of science to put the record straight through analysis on various scale.

Results of many recent studies have shed new light on the answers to some key questions in the age-old battle of the sexes, reports The Mirror.

...reports The Mirror...

Not exactly the most reliable source in the world, when it comes to womens' issues :)

If men are better drivers, I wonder why car insurance companies give lower rates to women?

It would take a lot to convince me that they are right when they say women are better at car maintenance than men. Women might pay more attention to their cars and be less likely to let a car run of water for example, but when it comes to maintenance skills and knowledge I'd say that men are better.

Men are bolder than women. They are stronger too. But this may not be right in case of a muscular women. As, a woman wrestler can do much work than a thin/normal man. This also shows that women are stronger too.

Yeah, Men are better at this. There are not much women who can do better car maintenance till now. I still see women are backwards in my society. Most wifes only do house work. There are only some who work out. Societies here, are male-dominated society.

Hopefully that will change, and in my opinion both men and women in your society will benefit, when it does . Society loses out when women are dominated and prevented from reaching their full potential.

As regards to driving, I think that Singaporeans (both male and female) are worse than in other countries except India. haha :)


Women are better at shopping than men, according to researchers at the University of California, which found that women excelled at finding their way around stores and could locate products and remember the location of fruit, vegetables and high calorie treats.

Yup, this is definitely true. Who can best a woman at shopping?


A study by Right Guard said that the average man performs 13.4 roles and keeps up with his partner by doing everything from cleaning to chauffeuring children on top of holding down a full-time job.


As to multi-tasking, I would have to agree and say that it's about even. Me and my hubby can both multi-task with ease.

My sister can walk in to a store and sense where the clearance items are.

I am a better shopper and cook and my wife, but she's the better mechanic than I.

Yeah, we hope for that too. And, it will be in future. Males and Females are equally important. Without them, birth isn't possible. Life isn't possible. So, both sexes should understand this and co-operate and work. They will work and the work will be beneficial for the mankind.

I have realized that this is infact a very controversial topic with plenty of examples in this small world where you can find lot of exceptions to all the cases mentioned..For eg. Women wrestlers are stronger than an ordinary man and some women are infact bolder than MEN too...:p;):D

[nbshopper]

Everyone is equal! (Except me - I am better) ;)

Before we talk about Battle of Sexs,

We need to know that we both male and female are both human being having exactly same characters. But, women are still backward because men dominates the society. The only way is Women Awareness and Their Education.

[Nazreen]

I guess there would be some things that men are better at that women and vice versa but nowadays, it seems that those things are getting fewer and fewer. Before, only women are good at cooking and housework, and men are good at fixing the car and things that are broken but not now. You can see men who are very good at cooking and cleaning the house and you can see women who are good with cars.

But there's a limitation to that, especially physical limitations. Men are still stronger physically than women so if you have an elite male and female athlete, the male would still be faster and stronger.

[Fergal]

I've been improving my cooking skills recently and surprised myself, when I realized I enjoyed it. All I need now is a woman to fix the car and clean the house. :)

Equality between male and female is a never ending debate that I think exits since the very beginning of this world. It’s different in different countries. However we say everybody is equal but the ground reality is not so satisfying. Well the time is changing and we hope it’ll get better in near future.

Man and Woman ,equally powerful,But in different fields.A Woman is powerful in fields that a Man is weak and a Man is powerful were a woman is weak.Both are interdependent as far as i know.In the battle ,If one fails the other one fails too.:D

wow! men rule...

So the war have reached at the stage where it seemingly becomes difficult to decide who is more powerful & good at than his/her opposite sex..Take the decision & you will find exception to that very soon..For eg. If you say women are good at studies then, I have an example - here 12th topper all over the country is girl but IIT JEE( Exam to get into some of the best technical colleges of country) exam topper is a boy...Same goes with other things too i.e sports too & other fields... It actually depends on inclination of interests that make one better or excellent in a particular field..Ofcourse your sex decides, whether you can make it easily or not but one thing is for sure that one can make it, though through little bit difficulty....

wow! men rule...

Tell that to The World's 100 Most Powerful Women (http://www.forbes.com/2008/08/27/most-powerful-women-biz-powerwomen08-cz_me_cs_0827women_land.html)! :p

I think that the only place wherein there's still a wide gap between men and women are in Arab countries and in developing countries where women are still considered inferior and therefor don't have to be educated.

...I think that the only place wherein there's still a wide gap between men and women are in Arab countries and in developing countries where women are still considered inferior and therefor don't have to be educated.

Unfortunately that includes a huge proportion of the world's population, probably over half.

[devilbatista]

I think it's not good to compare Male and Female as both are equally important. The battle of sexes is offensive in a sense. They should cooperate instead and work for the mankind. Both Sexes ( Genders ), Male and Female have equal human rights. The work which man can perform can also be perfomed by a woman.

It's not about genders but it's about the work, progress. The battle should be between work and progress which they do. So, that there will be more development.

[scifi]

Tell that to The World's 100 Most Powerful Women!

Nazreen. its good to see a compiled list containing 100 powerful women in the world...
BUT, it would be great to see women in 100 most powerful people( involving both men & women)..which will be true with respect to discussion in this thread...

[SocdelymKysan]

As for my opinion, there is no OVERALL winner in this battle,,,

Some tasks are advantageous to men and some are for women...

This comparison would be endless...
