Pisses me off that boyfriend thinks women are the weaker sex?

[Anonymous]

I know women are typically physically weaker, but he think that a woman couldnt even hurt a guy if she tried because guys are that much stronger and tougher

[Prettygurl12]

Coming from a girl who grew up with two brothers, ten male cousins, and 9 male friends... yes, guys are stronger than girls.

But also coming from a girl who grew up with all those guys, girls move faster, and can hold their own just fine in a physical altercation. I handed quite a few of those guys their asses in our fights. Because I was raised with so many male family members and a very tomboyish mother there were no allowances made because I was a girl. I was expected to lift just as much and work just as hard as the guys so when we would wrestle, no allowance was made because I was a girl either.

Trust me, girls CAN physically hurt a guy. Just tell your boyfriend you don't want him ever to find out just how badly you can hurt him lol

I've accidentally injured my boyfriend during our play fights so it IS possible, albeit not desirable. You just have to attack correctly :p

If his attitude upsets you this much, and right it should, it's kind of a narrow minded view of the world, you should leave him.

I'd like to see him go up against my friend Audra. She's a body builder and a farm girl. She flexes and her neck disappears. Her arms are literally 3x the size of mine and she's just altogether the most fit person I've seen. She squats 350 and benches 230. Yup. I'd like to see this happen. She's the strongest person I know. WAY stronger than my boyfriend lol.

[Asker]

but I've actualy tried to hurt him, he will let me punch him as hard as I can in the abs and it doesn't even phase him

[Prettygurl12]

Hit the gym, girl :p Full frontal attacks are not how slighter people take down larger attackers. I'm 105 and 5'4 and my boyfriend is 200 and 6'6. I take him down when we fight by jumping on his back, hooking my elbow around his neck, and dragging him down with my weight. Gots ta be tricky about it lol

[Asker]

mine is about 6'4 220, and I'm 120, so he easily over powers me, he also grabs my boob which isn't really fair

[Prettygurl12]

My boyfriend is 200 and 6'5. I'm 5'4 and 102 lbs. If I can take HIM down, you can take your guy down :p

[Asker]

the only way i have a chance is hitting in in the balls, but even then, i dont think i could

[Prettygurl12]

If you feel the need to physically attack him, maybe that's a clue that you should break up.

[Anonymous]

my boyfriend thought the same thing. he thought women belonged in the kitchen and nowhere else. not allowed to go out to bars with girlfriends, go on vacations, basically be a little slave to their men. then he ended up hitting me and choking me so I left him.

[CommieDearest]

Start making him do everything even remotely physical and claim you can't do it yourself because you're just a delicate flower of a feeble woman who could in no way compare to his brute strength (as sarcastically as possible)

[Panzer103]

Now that's a good idea.

[CommieDearest]

For the record, I don't deny that men are stronger than women... but for him to act like all women are just total weaklings... she needs to milk it until he realizes how ludicrous that is.

[randomocity]

because people just can't realize the fact that we are all the same, there always has to be someone better then everyone else.for me, i know im the lowest factor of human, not that im a bad person or anything, i just think poorly of myself so everyone else is better then me. which i think women and men are equal in every way...except when it comes to divorce, the property and items dividing should be equal on both sides, not one person getting more then the other and lets say that before you married you had a million dollars, the other person gets none of that, you only divide what you got while you were married. as for children, its whoever can provide better.

[rthomas43]

To deny the biological differences between male and female is plain ignorant.

[randomocity]

biological differences? lets see heart? check Lungs? check Stomach? check Hands? check blood? check. we are all the same flesh, blood and bone on the inside. so no biological differences really. Except penis and vagina, but thats it.

[rthomas43]

How about hormones, size difference, fat storage, muscle development...etc

[randomocity]

i can't really tell which side your taking. but all that is natural body functions. its not just different between girls and guys, guys can be fatter then other guys, girls can be fatter then other girls.

[rthomas43]

Your ignorance is painful.

So why do YOU think women and men compete separately in sporting events?

[randomocity]

because sports people still think that girl and guys can't play games together. and this isn't ignorance, its called seeing everyone in the human race, as humans. none is mor or less then the other no matter the sex or race. only people we should look down upon are those who hurt other people.

[rthomas43]

Who said anything about looking down on anybody?
They don't compete together because it would be extremely unfair. I can't understand how you can even attempt to deny this.
Being bigger, faster, or stronger does NOT make somebody a better person than anyone else.
You're trying waayyyyy too hard to be politically correct.

[randomocity]

im not even trying to be politically correct, ie seen girls whoop the ass of guys with no problem. and if they have girls and guys separate for sports because the guys will hurt the girls then there should be no sports what so ever because people are still being hurt. Im not being politically correct, i really do think this way, i think of things as simply and not complicated as possible. thats why i dont want to have a girlfriend or have sex, it will get way too complicated. thats just me.

[rthomas43]

Fine. Don't believe me. Go look up Olympic records and compare male vs female scores, times, etc...

[randomocity]

so your basing the whole which is the better sex debate on some super atletes scores from the olympics. if thats all you got then sorry, but sports aren't everything.

[rthomas43]

It is when the whole point is comparing physical strength between the sexes...
I'm not being sexist here, but facts are facts.

[randomocity]

well, im comparing personalities and just the person in general, which there are girls that are probably a lot stronger then most guys. but i do see where your coming from

[Phoenix1991]

Strength is a matter of perspective. Yes natrually men have an advantage over women in raw strength since the average male has more muscle mass than a woman BUT women are more flexible than the average man.

Especially from my years of martial arts, Strength doesn't always decide who wins a fight, I've seen women knock men out twice their size, Its a matter of the right punch to the right spot.

On a side note, Yes a woman can hurt a man, A kick to the nuts will make any man drop to his knees and pray to you for forgiveness.

[BabyGunn]

Though men may be physically stronger than most women, the fact of the matter is, that strength is useless. VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) has seen to it, that no matter how bad a girl beats a guy, he better not consider retaliating, or defending himself. So if he wants to use some strength, he better get a physically demanding job, and work hard to support his wife, who society holds him responsible for. Emotionally, WE'RE weaker. Women are subtle, sly creatures that are mistresses of manipulation. Once a man finds himself in the domain of LOVE, he's in the domain of women. Love is an emotion. He's a puppet on strings. His physical strength is now a tool at her disposal. He's a slave under her power.

[InvisibleNinja]

Thats why I play them, it makes them weaker ;)

[BabyGunn]

When you play them, they get weaker?

[AndyWes]

1. Women are the weaker sex. The average woman has about 60% the upper body strength the average man.

2. Given that all it takes to seriously fuck someone up is grabbing a beer bottle or a brick and a split second head start, no. A woman could seriously fuck a guy up in many situations. Though in a bare fist fight, advantage will pretty much always go to the man.

[godfatherfan]

I wouldn't want to be with a women that was not physically weaker then me. that is what is attractive about women. they are smaller and very soft and incredible.
but just because your physically weaker doesn't mean you can't pull a trigger...or use a knife...or poison..or mentally as tough..

[Unknown08]

I agree with godfatherfan, but my girlfriend is very string even though she isn't typically fit. It doesn't take a genius to throw a hurtful punch.

[godfatherfan]

especially to the balls. women don't know how fragile they are..

[Anonymous]

Guys ARE that much stronger and tougher. There are exceptions, but 98% of women could not hurt 98% of men unless they were caught by surprise or were going easy on her. The only thing women have going for them in a physical altercation with a man is the fact that most men just do not have it in their composition to intentionally hurt a woman and thus they are almost always trying to use as little force as possible to defend against a woman, which makes them vulnerable. Seriously, I've been in my share of fights and a women in any one of those would have been reduced to a bloody heap on the floor in 5 seconds.

Women certainly have an advantage over men in many areas, but strength is not one of them. You need to choose your battles cause this is one you don't have a prayer of winning.

[Opinion Owner]

Also, it's not just physical strength that makes it virtually impossible for a woman to hurt a man. It's the tendency toward violence that exists at some level in virtually every man. All he has to do is tap into it and she's fucked.

[Unknown08]

That is also true, I recently learned that men can tap into their adrenaline whenever they need it, which gives you twice as much power, stamina, strength, and speed.

[Mesonfielde]

After reading that question where the girl was kidnapped and kept in a cabin for 4 days and when she had the chance shot one of the guys and mauled the other guy until he stopped moving, there's a chance that adrenaline isn't locked only to one biological sex.

[Vegvisir]

Men in most cases are stronger than women, it's genetic. We create more testosterone which in turn creates more muscle. You can get strong if you work out ALOT, but a guy will always be able to gain muscle faster

Also, you can hurt him, kick him in the balls. But if you play by those rules you are on even ground, so you can't really moan if he hurts you back equally

[SaVes]

Kick him in the balls and ask him if he still feels stronger.

Just kidding.

I think CommieDearest's sarcasm-suggestion is a very effective and funny idea on how to make your point.

[CommieDearest]

Stop it you :P

[Beatrice1865]

He’d just kick her in the vulva and ask her the same thing. A woman’s crotch is just as significant of a weak spot, if not weaker, than a man’s crotch. A toddler could give you a cooter punch and you’d cry, shit yourself, and collapse.

[Anonymous]

Men are much faster, stronger, and more agile than women. Also, kicking a guy in the balls is a great way to hurt him, but a kick to the vagina can easily floor a woman. Blunt trauma to the breasts doesn’t feel great either. A woman probably couldn’t hurt a guy if she tried, but take solace in the fact that women are a lot better at not dying to heart disease/cancer than men.

[washize]

Must not piss you off that much since you're still dating.

[Asker]

I really like him, I just wish he would give us some credit for being strong

[washize]

He ain't going to learn to deal with it or start working out and make him say uncle while you wrestle him.

[Asker]

we wrestle all the time but he is way stronger and always beats me easily

[washize]

I said start working out and lifting weights. Most women in developed nations have underdeveloped muscles in their shoulders, arms, and backs. It isn't natural for a human female to be unable to physically life herself with her arms. Or to not be able to life someone of the same weight. I've dated guys that I was stronger than, and I've dated guys who could pin me to the floor like I was tissue paper. Society hates to admit it but evey man is not stronger than every woman. There are many guys who are smaller than me and weaker than me, there are many guys who are stronger than me and bigger than me. Physical fittness, weight, muscle development and height factor in strength more than gender. Besides men often have a greater upper body strenght and women have a greater lower body strength for child birth. I've met guys than can beat me in arm wrestling but cannot escape my leg locks.

[Asker]

yeah thats true, but he doesn't even play fair, he thinks titty twisters are hilarious

[rthomas43]

Girls can be stronger than guys, it's just uncommon. A girl that works out a lot and is very girl strong (depending on how much she works out) will be as strong as your average guy that doesn't work out.

[washize]

@rthomas if you be live that is the case. Brain washing is hard to undo. All men and women are not of the same height size or weight. Your nuts if you think every man is stronger than every woman. You really think a dough boy who lays on the couch and eats doritos all day is stronger or just as strong as a farm girl? You really think a guy who is 5"5 and 145 lbs is going to do anything to a woman that is 6'3 200lbs? The variables between men and women are too great especailly between races. You've got to be realistic here, men can't even compete in certain sports if they don't make the height/weight requirements. Why do you be live this scenario changes with gender?

[rthomas43]

I never said that ALL men are stronger than ALL women. I'm speaking in generalizations here. There will be some overlap between the sexes, but overall, men are naturally much stronger.

Why do I believe gender matters? Because science has proven this countless times. It's fact, not an opinion.

[washize]

"Girls can be stronger than guys, it's just uncommon". Yes you did say that all men are stronger than women in general. If this was reality then women would have no manual labor jobs. Women in third world countries would not lift 50lb bundles of wood while their husbands talked politics. The same science that says women have greater lower body streangth for child bearing than men? I'm not saying that every woman is an incredible hulk that can rip off dicks with their pinkies. I'm saying that strength and physical ability goes beyond gender. There are other variables in the mix. If my opinion wasn't correct men woulnt get their asses beat by women and all men regaudless of size or weight would be allowed to compete with men who are heavier, stronger, and taller.

[rthomas43]

"all men are stronger than women in general"
I don't need to point out what's ring with that, right?

Are you unable to grasp what I'm telling you?
Women can be as strong as men, but men are on average naturally much stronger. There are always exceptions. I'm not denying that. I'm not saying women are useless, but you can't deny science.
And women don't have stronger legs, just stronger when in proportion to their own body weight.

[randomocity]

look at the conversasion we were having, he tries to pull olympics into it

[rthomas43]

Because we're discussing physical strength...
We're not discussing which sex is superior. Because neither is :)

[washize]

I'm not talking about gender superiority, I am talking about the general strength between genders isn't that men are typically stronger. There are more variables that go into strength than size. As I keep repeating myself, if men can be stronger than men of different heights/sizes then why is it impossible in your mind that women of different heights/sizes can be stronger than men. In general men are not bigger/taller than women, especially in a "melting pot" country. You seem incapable of understanding that smaller mensmaller women. Average man/=/average woman. There are also other varying factors in between such as physical strength, muscle development, and endurance. The animal kingdom is even evidence to this. Females are regularly aggressive with males of varying sizes/weights. The aggression/force of the females is often enough to assert dominance in social circles. In these physical altercations the males are not regular winners.

[washize]

smaller men smaller women.

[washize]

smaller men are weaker than larger women. Larger men are stronger than smaller women. Average men equal to or greater than average woman. I don't know why it wouldn't let me type that, the past two attempts.

[rthomas43]

Small man is stronger than a small woman.
Average man is stronger than an average woman.
Large man is stronger than an average woman.

Unless the woman works out A LOT, and the man doesn't, then the man will always be stronger.

You can deny it all you want. I suggest you do 5 minutes of internet research and tell me if you still believe men aren't naturally stronger.

[rthomas43]

Why are you trying to argue against something that has been proven time and time again?
It isn't an opinion, it's a fact.

[washize]

You're arguing with me kid. You're living in denial and can't accept reality. As I keep saying all women aren't stronger than men, and all men aren't stronger than women. It varies between each person. I grew up in the country and started working on a farm when I was 13, I'll tell you there were boys twice my size that couldn't keep up with me, and there were guys my same size that worked circles around me. In our gym glass girls often out beat guys in the annual fitness tests and the guys often beat out the girls. I don't know where you live where you've never seen a woman knock out a guy, run faster, or jump higher. But it is pitiful that in your mind it is impossible these occurrences are "uncommon". If it makes you feel better to believe that then keep on trucking on kid. I've seen enough men and women physically fighting, I've seen enough women carry their drunk boyfriends home, I've seen enough women tie deers on trucks when their boyfriends/husbands couldn't do it.

[washize]

As I keep repeating, I'm not saying every woman is stronger or has the potential to be stronger than any man. I'm simply saying that every man of the same height and size is not always stronger. I personally know that from life experience and *gasp* science.

[rthomas43]

Like I said. Do a little bit of research online.

Come let me know once you've realized I'm right ;]

[rthomas43]

If a man and woman of the same size, that workout the same amount are measured against each other, the man will be stronger 99% of the time.

[rthomas43]

In other words, if sex is the only variable, the man will always be stronger.

[washize]

lol look kid I've taken enough physiology and anatomy classes to know how the human body works. Most of ill informed internet gurus don't even know the mechanics of the human body BEYOND what ever "science" you heard in the 1990s. The average internet gender scientist doesn't even know the biomechanics of the skeletal muscle. IF you did then you would know that human females exert the same unit of force per unit of muscle as men. Even if a human male has a lower body fat percentage and more muscle than the competing female OTHER VARIABLES STILL factor into strength. AS I keep saying, the reality is that men and women have a higher variable in strength than society like to acknowledge. General belief and facts are two different things. Once again I'm not saying that ALL women are she hulks, I'm saying that men and women vary too much to determine strength by gender.

[Panzer103]

I thought he said 98%? Now he said 99% funny how stats change so quickly...

[washize]

@ panzer, lmao exactly, you have to love these "Facts" Notice how quickly he shut up after bringing up the biomechanics of our skeletal muscles. He wants to talk about facts/science but doesn't have a clue on what the human body is and/or how it functions. Many people like to ignore the biases in early scientific research regarding gender/strength one of the earliest studies compared the strength of young male factory workers and aged housewives. Also first world women have underdeveloped upper body muscles from lack of use during early development of childhood, which causes easy muscle damage/fatigue as an adult. IF the scientific process is going to be used to conclude an accurate output then the method has to be structurally secure. Which it often isn't when extreme bias is imposed.

[daniel7]

tell him to fight a pit bull, after all a pit bull is smaller than him, that will make him think.

[rthomas43]

Not relevant in any way whatsoever.

[Modernhippy]

eh it depends if a guy lifts and works out there is like one in a million women that cud do anything to him becuase thats genetics. but i mean physical ability dosnt mean anything anymore

[evellion]

Explain to him that women do not have testicles. The hard way.

[Asker]

huh? pretty sure he knows that

[Beatrice1865]

Women may not have testicles, but our groins are still a weak spot. Even a flick in the crotch would take you down instantly and you’d lose that attitude. In fact, we actually get the worse end of the deal with weak spots because not only are our groins as big of a weak spot as men’s testicles, but we also have breasts as a weak spot. Instead of coping like you are now, just be like me and lift until you’re stronger than the majority of men.

[rthomas43]

Fact of the matter is that his statement holds true for most women.

[Asker]

thanks

[ixi10]

He's being a dick. Girls are very strong. Physically and mentally

[Daniel121]

If the average guy was trying to resist the average woman, without any form of weapon? Yeah the woman wouldn't stand much if any chance

[Mesonfielde]

average doesn't really exist

[Mesonfielde]

Make him say "typically physically weaker" and he'll have a point in a statistical standpoint. Otherwise, that's a silly sexist generalization.

[Anonymous]

There are worse things he could say about women. The first part of that is true... Though in a fight, nearly anyone can hurt anyone with the right tools...

[p0rtis26]

They are physically weaker, but it depends on your definition of weakness as well. Women have their strengths as well.

[Don0ne]

Woman all of a sudden become the weaker race when it benefits them

[Panzer103]

He may be right for many, but tell that to one of my best friends in high school. I can usually take a hit in stride, but boy could she land a punch!

[genericname85]

well kick him in the balls and watch him cry :D even a kid could do that.

[BabyGunn]

I keep reading, "kick him in the balls! Kick him in the balls!" Tell me; is that the only thing a girl thinks about doing to a man? Tell me that as we're fantasizing about kissing, feeling, and touching boobs, they're having fantasies about kicking balls.

[genericname85]

i don´t get your point. her question was implieing a guy thinks he is so much stronger on a physical level that a girl can´t hurt him. of course i could´ve come up with snaping his pinky or poking his eyes but hurting the balls is quite usually the first thing, that comes to mind when thinking about male pain caused by little force.

[dsrice]

There are a lot of women stronger then me. I seen it before, I have lost several arm wrestling matches against women. Strength is not defined by which gender you are.

[Anonymous]

I'm considered quite strong despite that I'm a woman.

[abundantlyrich]

Your bf is astouundlingly wong

[Metal189]

there are women out there, who prove him right

[Anonymous]

Your boyfriend is avoiding reality.

[asshole_]

Technically, they are

[randomwhiteguy]

It depends on what guy and what girl

[Anonymous]

maybe you need to beat some sense into him.

[Anonymous]

Don't make him mad or he will make you cry
